How does it work?

On this page, you will hopefully find the answer to your questions.

If you want the full package, buy a 24-hour ticket. This allows you to come and go as you please. Alternatively, you can join in from a specific time: from 9 pm, 2 am or 9 am. With any ticket, you can stay until the end. If you want to be there from the start, the 24-hour ticket is your only option. And don’t worry, with every ticket you can enter and leave the venue as often as you like. You’ll find more details about ticketing at the bottom of this page.

Ticketing information

  • 24-hour ticket holders are the only ticket holders who will experience the very beginning of the performance. The performance starts promptly at 16:00 on Saturday 13.06.
  • Once you are in the hall, you may stay for the full 24 hours.
  • After every scene - every fifteen minutes - you have the opportunity to leave the hall for a short break. Every two hours, there is a fifteen-minute break.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to wait in line?

What if I lose my ticket?

When your ticket is scanned for the first time, you will receive an entry wristband. As long as you are wearing it, our staff will know you have a valid ticket.

Can I get something to eat and drink?

The VIERNULVIER Café will remain open for 24 hours for ticket holders. Even during the kitchen's closing hours, you will be able to purchase a small snack.

Can I go home?

You decide for yourself when and for how long you attend the performance. If you return, you must join the queue again.

I don't live in Ghent, is there somewhere I can rest?

We provide a low-stimulus space where you can lie down or sit. Silence is maintained here, and you can even take a nap.

Are there fixed seats?

No, you cannot reserve a seat. Every time you leave the hall, you must choose a new seat upon return. This also contributes to the experience of 'The Second Woman', allowing you to view the performance from different perspectives.
