The Oberammergau Passion Play is held every 10 years in Oberammergau, Germany and is one of the most popular travel destinations in 2020. Tickets include not only admission to the play but lodging as well. In addition, there are many tour operators that provide tickets plus transportation and lodging, meals, etc.
However, there are some who plan to go on their own and buy tickets. If that is you….then be sure you buy direct from the source….or you may end paying much more and not even getting the seating you have requested.
The official website of the Oberammergau Passion Play has put out this warning: “We have been and are currently being informed by affected consumers about the offer of tickets for the 2020 Passion Play via the ticket provider Viagogo.
A large number of tickets for the 2020 Passion Play are offered via the Viagogo ticket platform. Please note that Viagogo is a ticket provider in the secondary use market, i.e. Viagogo is not an official ticket provider. The prices offered are not original prices! Depending on the category, the original prices are between EUR 30 and EUR 180. Viagogo sometimes charges a multiple of these original ticket prices.
Please also note that Viagogo does not specify seats or at least categories currently. Especially the distance from the stage is not indicated. Even if you buy an expensive ticket, it is therefore still possible that you will end up sitting in the cheapest category for EUR 30 original price.
We were able to enjoin Viagogo successfully from advertising the tickets with misleading statements such as “sold out”. However, Viagogo continues to offer the tickets.”
Editor’s note: As of March 10, 2020 Viagogo still offers tickets…at substantially higher cost than through the official Passion Play website.
You can simply check the official Oberammergau Passion Play website to see if tickets are still available for your needs.
And, if you wish to travel in a group, we recommend one of the many group tours offered through Select International Tours. You can be assured that you will be dealing with a company with experience as well as an excellent reputation.
