Freundeskreis FAQs

You need your own e-mail address, and each partner also needs their own address for couple memberships.

You will find your membership number in the letter you received by post after your registration.

At the top right of the Schaubühnen homepage there is the option »Webshop«. At the top centre of the webshop is »Login Freundeskreis«. Enter your e-mail and password from the webshop.

If you are already a customer in the webshop, use your previous password as usual.
You do not yet have a password or have forgotten your password? Then click on the »Login« tab at the top right of the webshop and request your password (»Forgot your password?«).
Please note: Do not register again! Even if you have never made a purchase in the webshop before: Your data record already exists. Registering again would only result in your address being duplicated and your purchase being cancelled.

Friends receive 2 days before the official ticket sale, 2 tickets per person per production per season / Patrons receive 3 days before the official ticket sale, 2 tickets per person per performance.

No, please direct your ticket requests/orders exclusively to the box office at ticket@schaubuehne or +49 30 890023 or order your tickets yourself in the webshop or in the Schaubühne app.

The programme for the month after next always appears at the end of the current month on the website and the Schaubühnen app.
Example: The programme for May appears at the end of March.

The official advance sale always starts on the 1st of the month, unless the 1st is a Sunday or public holiday. Advance sales for sponsors start 3 days before the official ticket sale, for friends 2 days before the start.

A monthly newsletter, which provides information about the latest programme and planned events, is always sent out shortly before the start of advance sales.

You can have the contribution collected by SEPA direct debit mandate. To do so, simply return the completed direct debit mandate enclosed with your letter by post. Alternatively, you can also donate the membership fee. Please transfer the contribution by 31 March of the respective year.

No, because your membership fee includes support for the Schaubühne for an entire calendar year, regardless of when you join the Friends.

No. As membership fees are donations, we prefer not to send out invoices. We are happy to receive a separate transfer in the first quarter of the year. At the end of the year, you will receive a corresponding donation receipt for submission to the tax office.

Voluntary (annual) donations are welcome. The association »Freunde der Schaubühne am Lehniner Platz e.V.« is recognised as a non-profit organisation and your contributions and donations are deductible.

You can cancel your membership at the end of the year. As you are also donating for a whole year with your membership fee, you will also receive all the benefits of membership until 31 December. If you no longer wish to receive news from the Circle of Friends and no longer wish to receive e-mails, please write to us at freunde@schaubuehne.de.

You will be informed about opportunities to participate at the annual general meeting.

You can reach the office at freunde@schaubuehne.de.
