The competing bands can now purchase tickets for the European Brass Band Championships in Palanga — with a second public issue due on 20th January.

Palanga
  The Championships take place in Palanga this year

Bands participating at the 2024 European Brass Band Championships in Palanga can now order their tickets for the event.

This scheme is for competitors only.

The Championship and Challenge Section bands will be able to purchase up to 40 tickets per event (or 40 Combi tickets to cover all major events). The tickets will be available up to and including 18th January. Each band has been informed by EBBA.

Players will need tickets to listen to the championships as well as get access to the Gala Concert and the Award ceremony.

Bands taking part in the European Youth Brass Band Competition (EYBBC) can order a maximum of 50 tickets per event (or 50 Combi tickets).

Players participating in the European Youth Brass Band need to buy tickets for Thursday, Friday and Saturday's events, but they will be given tickets for the Sunday's European Youth Championships.
