The Passion visitors must buy a ticket for the first time next year

Attendees of the upcoming live performance of The Passion in Ootmarsum will be required to pay a 7.50 euro ticket fee for the first time. The organizers cite limited capacity as the reason for the charge, noting that local residents will receive priority access to tickets.

For the first time in the history of the event, attendees of the annual televised production The Passion will be required to purchase a ticket to watch the performance live. Organizers from KRO-NCRV have implemented a 7.50 euro fee to cover the administrative and logistical costs of managing the audience, citing the limited space available at the event's location in Ootmarsum. While local residents will be given priority access during the ticket sales process, visitors who have already secured hotel accommodations are not guaranteed preference.

The upcoming rendition of this popular musical production is scheduled to take place on the historic Kerkplein in Ootmarsum. The location was announced earlier this year by local representatives who emphasized the suitability of the setting for the religious narrative. As with previous iterations of the program, the entire performance will be broadcast live to the public on NPO 1, ensuring those unable to attend in person can still watch the event.
