Frequently Asked Questions / FAQ

What is The Wiener Ball?

The Wiener Ball is a Viennese debutant ball. The ball is opened by an opening dance done by debutants in pairs.

 How can I visit the ball?

Anyone is welcome to visit The Wiener Ball if they have a valid entry ticket. You can purchase entry tickets on the website.

 What types of entry tickets are there?

There are free entry tickets (without reserved seating) and entry tickets with seating booths next to the dance floor. During the ball, there will be opportunities to settle down for a conversation or to rest your feet after a waltz. However, the seating booths guarantee you reserved seating and a good view of the dance floor for the entire ball.

Booth tickets are optional, and can be added to general tickets after purchase.

How many persons does a booth seat?

A booth seats 10 persons.

Can I book an arrangement for a group?

Yes, this is possible. We offer arrangements for groups from 10 persons. We offer the Strauss Arrangement for groups of 10 persons. This arrangement allows the group access to the VIP aperitif, a three-course dinner prior to the event (including wine, water and coffee), and a booth for 10 persons next to the dance floor.
