The Bolshoi Theater stressed that tickets must only be purchased at the box office or on the institution’s website.
“By purchasing tickets elsewhere and from other organizations or individuals, you run the risk of purchasing a counterfeit. A false ticket does not guarantee entry to the theater,” the Bolshoi Theater noted.
The press service of the institution added that the buyer’s personal data will be entered at the entrance; when purchasing an electronic ticket on the theater’s website, they will have to be entered independently. You must confirm your identity with an identification document when attending each performance.
The Bolshoi Theater has repeatedly encountered speculation when it comes to distributing tickets for its performances. People buy tickets en masse and then resell them at excessively inflated prices. On popular advertising sites, corresponding tickets often appear, for example, for the New Year’s production of “The Nutcracker” for 350 thousand rubles.
