Åbo Svenska Teater is switching to a new and more user-friendly ticketing system. From 19 May 2026 onwards, all our tickets will be sold exclusively through ÅST’s own channels.

You do not need to do anything because of this change. All previously purchased tickets and gift cards will remain valid as usual.

Temporary interruption in ticket sales

Ticket sales via lippu.fi and the webshop on our website will be closed from Friday 15 May at 3:00 PM until Monday 18 May.

During this time, you can reach us by email:
biljetter@abosvenskateater.fi

From 19 May onwards, we will serve you:

• in our renewed webshop at abosvenskateater.fi
• by email: biljetter@abosvenskateater.fi
• at the theatre box office, tel. +358 2 277 7377 (see opening hours below)
• at the ticket desk in Hansa (see opening hours below)

What’s new in the webshop?

The new webshop makes it easier to buy and manage tickets. Through your customer account, you will have access to more payment options and smoother ways to make changes to your purchases — for example, you can change your performance date yourself and share tickets digitally with your party.

Ticket prices will not be affected by the system change and you can continue travelling with Föli as usual.
