Oberammergau Tickets and Hotel Accommodation
PASSION PLAY ACCOMMODATION ARRANGEMENTS:
Tickets for the 2010 Passion Play are only available as part of an official package. All our holidays except the 7 day Bavarian Castles* itinerary include accommodation for two nights in either Oberammergau itself or the surrounding villages so you can arrive in Oberammergau in good time the night before the play and afterwards have time to reflect on the spectacle you have witnessed. Dinner is included each night plus lunch before the Play commences.

*The 7 day Bavarian Castles itinerary, includes accommodation in the Oberammergau area for one night on the night of the performance and so you will travel to Oberammergau on the morning of the play from our hotel base in Reutte, which is about 11.2 hours away, arriving in time for lunch ahead of the play.

Tickets
Tickets are allocated together with the accommodation so we have no control over the exact location of seats, but suffice to say the higher the grade of hotel, the better the seats. The plan below shows the seating layout together with ticket categories.
