When the Vienna City Gardens celebrate the 103rd Flower Ball in Vienna on January 15, 2027, vibrant reds, violets, and pinks will dominate the time-honored ballrooms. Official advance ticket sales began on November 11, 2026, for all ticket categories. As a result, available tickets for the floral ball are disappearing rapidly.
This year, the event is also marked by a major anniversary, as the department is celebrating its 165th anniversary. The floral arrangements therefore require countless hours of work to transform the historic building into a spring-like landscape in the middle of winter.
A feast for all the senses
Fortunately, the musical program goes far beyond traditional waltz music. While the grand ball orchestra plays in the ballroom, the Coat of Arms Hall features modern live rhythms and, to top it off, its own salsa lounge.

The adjacent Rathauskeller serves exclusive floral-themed menus starting at 6:00 p.m. before the event, where you can sample, for example, homemade strudel with quark or a completely vegan pumpkin trilogy. These multi-course dinners start at €65 per person and can only be booked in conjunction with a ball ticket.
Ticket Prices and Dress Code
However, the event’s dress code remains strictly classic. For ladies, a long ball gown is absolutely mandatory; gentlemen must wear a dark suit with a bow tie or a tuxedo—as ties are strictly prohibited.
Regular tickets without reserved seating cost €130; students under 26 can purchase discounted tickets for €90. Those who prefer a reserved table seat can find tickets starting at €170, ranging up to €210 in the large main hall. You can purchase tickets online, by phone, or directly at the Wien Ticket Pavilion at the State Opera House.
