Before you come
Questions & answers
Everything about reservations, entry and the rules in one place. Can't find an answer? Write to us at info@ticketstation.bg.
Reservations & entry
How does entry work? Is it free?
You enter Bier Garten with a seat reservation, which you make at TicketStation.bg. Whether it's free or paid depends only on the arrival time you choose:
- Before 19:00 – Happy Hour: the reservation is free. You get in without paying anything and stay until the end of the night, concert or show included.
- After 19:00: the reservation is paid, depending on the night's programme – €5 for stand-up nights and €10 for concert and tribute nights. The price is per person and includes the full programme.
Opening hours: Tuesday – Thursday 18:00 – 23:00 · Friday 18:00 – 00:00 · Saturday and Sunday 14:00 – 00:00 (at weekends entry is free from 14:00). Closed on Mondays. On the opening night, 9 October, entry is free all evening.
Am I reserving a whole table or a seat?
A seat. Tables seat 6 and are shared – if there are three of you, you'll most likely be sitting with other people. When you arrive, pick any free seats you like – the choice is yours.
Big group? Just reserve as many seats as there are of you – one person can make the reservation for everyone. No need to write to us separately.
How much does a reservation cost?
| When / what | Price |
|---|---|
| Arrival before 19:00 (Happy Hour) – every night | €0 |
| After 19:00 – stand-up and quiz/karaoke nights | €5 |
| After 19:00 – concert and tribute nights | €10 |
| Opening night, 9 October – all evening | €0 |
| Kids' corner with entertainer (18:00 – 22:00) – paid on site, when you leave | €7 / hour |
| JMSN Live, 16 October – separate concert | separate tickets |
Prices are per person. You can also see the exact price for each night in the day-by-day programme.
How long can I stay with a free reservation?
Until the end of the night. Happy Hour is about the time you arrive – not how long you stay. Arrive before 19:00 and you watch the whole programme with nothing extra to pay.
I have a free reservation but I'll arrive after 19:00. What happens?
The free reservation is only valid if you arrive before 19:00. If you come later, you'll pay the price for that night at the entrance (€5 or €10 per person). If you already know you'll be late – make a reservation with an arrival time after 19:00 straight away and skip the wait at the door.
Do I need a reservation?
Yes. The reservation guarantees you a seat at a table and tells us how many people to expect – that's why we require it even when it's free. One person can reserve seats for the whole group.
Turned up without a reservation? Nobody will send you away – we'll do our best to find you a seat if there's one free. But we strongly recommend reserving in advance, especially for weekends and concert nights.
I can't make it. What happens to my paid reservation?
Paid reservations are non-refundable, but you have two options:
- Pass it on to a friend – reservations aren't name-checked at the door.
- Move it to another night – write to us at info@ticketstation.bg and we'll move it to a date of your choice (any price difference is paid on top).
Do I need to print my reservation?
No. Show it on your phone screen, add it to Apple Wallet or open it in the Club app. Let's look after nature.
How do I pay on site?
Contactless only – with a debit or credit card from any issuer, or directly with your phone. No cash is accepted in the Bier Garten area.
Kids
Can I bring the kids? Is there anything for them to do?
Yes, and they'll even have fun. There's an entertainer on site every night from 18:00 to 22:00 for the little guests – games, fun and plenty of reasons not to get bored while you relax. The kids' corner costs €7 per hour and is paid on site, when your child leaves – not via TicketStation. When reserving, however, you must tick whether you'll be using the entertainer (yes / no) – without that checkbox the system won't let the reservation through, and it helps us know how many kids to expect.
The kids' corner runs from 18:00 to 22:00 – the hours of the main programme. The space is indoors and heated, and payment everywhere is contactless.
Until what time can children and teenagers stay?
- Under 14 – after 20:00 only with a parent or guardian.
- 14 – 18 – after 22:00 only with an adult companion who presents at the entrance the original of a declaration filled in and signed by a parent/guardian. Download the declaration (in Bulgarian), print it and bring it with you.
