The Royal Albert Hall, with more than 5,200 seats, sold out all their tickets in a matter of hours in February, leaving many fans unable to enjoy John Williams live in Europe. Now there is a second chance, but tickets at the Wiener Musikverein are also expected to sell out quickly, because although there will be two concerts, the capacity of the venue is almost half the capacity of the Royal Albert Hall in London, with 2,800 seats.

 

The tickets presale for members started at 9 a.m. on 5/28/2018 and the general advance ticket sale started at 9 a.m. on Wednesday 5/30/2018.
