Bravo! Ticket Opera Ballet Vlaanderen

You can buy the Bravo! Ticket on this page, as from 31 days before your concert or show. Simply click on your purchase button displayed above. Attention: the date of the return journey must be identical to the date of the outward journey (being the date of the concert), although it is permitted to travel back the day after.

The only thing you then need, is the SNCB code which can be found on your Opera Ballet Vlaanderen admission ticket. This code starts with a zero, the capital letter i and the letters ??.

You can print the Bravo! Ticket or save the PDF on your smartphone.
