The building
The Baroque church Lukas von Hildebrandt built between 1701 and 1733 on the site of the first church in Roman Vindobona, its dome frescoed by Johann Michael Rottmayr and its interior by Matthias Steinl.

Stephansplatz (U1, U3) is two minutes on foot along the Graben; the church stands on Petersplatz, just off it. There is no car park at the door — the nearest are under the Graben and on Petersplatz itself.
Our own counter is at Herrengasse 5, 1010 Wien, 10:00–18:00, if you would rather collect a ticket from a person than from an inbox.

About these facts
Every fact on this page checked against classicensemblevienna.com on .
Everything. The price shown is the price charged: our booking fee is €0.00 and we print it on your order at €0.00 rather than leaving it out.
At checkout. Your QR code, wallet pass and PDF exist the moment your card is charged.
Where in the church you sit. Category I is the front, nearest the players; Category II the middle; Category III the back. The house publishes no other difference between them.
There are no numbered seats in the nave. You book a category, and the house seats you inside it in the order guests arrive — so the earlier you come, the wider your choice.
About sixty-five minutes, with no interval. Admission is from forty-five minutes before the start.
Smart casual, and warmly in the colder months: the Peterskirche is a Baroque church and is not heated like a concert hall. Nobody is turned away for what they wear.
Not during the concert — photography and filming are not permitted, for copyright reasons among others. Before and after it, as you like, for yourself.
Yes, free, until 48 hours before, for the same category, up to twice. If the new date costs more you pay the difference; if it costs less, your original price stands.
Fourteen days from purchase, and never inside 48 hours of the concert — whichever comes first. The exact date is printed on your order line.
We always book your party on one order and ask the house to seat you together inside your category. If they seat you apart, tell us and we will put it right.
You are refunded in full and immediately, whatever the date, and told that we could not supply it. There is no voucher and no substitute you did not choose.
