Dear festival visitor,
The Herrenchiemsee Festival is dedicated to the person of King Ludwig II and the history of the island. So it is our special concern to revive the ambience of that time by the break organization, the livrierte personnel and much more. We would be delighted if you could contribute to the special atmosphere of the festival with your festive clothing (evening dress, dinner jacket, dark suit, dirndl or traditional costume...).
The Box Office for concerts on Fraueninsel and Herreninsel is located at Prien/Stock harbour, at the Info Desk of the Chiemsee Schifffahrt building. During the Festival the Box Office is open daily from 16.45 – 18.30h for collecting prepaid tickets booked at short notice and for purchasing any remaining tickets. For the concerts on Fraueninsel, an additional Box Office outside Frauenchiemsee Cathedral will open from 17.45h to 18.45h.
There is no box office on Herreninsel.
Holders of concert tickets are also entitled to
After the concerts on Herreninsel ferries leave app. 30, 45 and 60 minutes after the final applause for Prien/Stock.
After the concerts on Fraueninsel one ferry leaves app. 30 minutes after the final applause for Prien/Stock. There is only one ferry to Gstadt, leaving app. 30 minutes after the final applause (calling in by request at Fraueninsel).
Unfortunately it will still be technically impossible on hot summer days to do anything about the heat in the Hall of Mirrors.
When considering the price of the tickets, quite apart from the quality of the music, we would ask you to bear in mind the services listed above.
On the day of the event, you can, on production of your concert ticket, book an "island ticket" at a reduced price (€ 8.-- instead of the usual € 11.--) at the information centre on the Herreninsel. This will entitle you to visit all the properties on the island, including a guided tour of the palace, entry to two museums and to two picture galleries. Admission is free for the under-18s.

Crossing is possible throughout the day on all scheduled ferries. The last departures from Prien/Stock are at 5.00 pm /5.30 pm /6.00 pm, from Gstadt for Herreninsel 5.15 pm, from Gstadt for Fraueninsel 4.50 pm/5.20 pm/5.50 pm. Exact times of scheduled ferries can be found under www.chiemsee-schifffahrt.de.
