Purchase, reservation and refund of tickets
You can buy tickets directly either via our website or at our serviced box office. You can also call us to reserve. We have a three-day collection deadline, from the time the ticket is ordered, for pre-reserved tickets. If you reserve tickets on the day of the performance, these must be collected no later than one hour before the start of the performance.
When purchasing tickets on our website, these can be printed at home or downloaded to your mobile phone. If you are waiting for tickets via email, also check your spam folder. Please note that you download the tickets so that you see a barcode or QR code. It is not possible to reserve tickets on the website.
Already purchased tickets will only be refunded if the performance is cancelled. Please note that the ticket fee is non-refundable.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to exchange already purchased tickets for other performances.
We use Tixly as our ticketing system. You can log in here to manage your purchases at cultural events.
Pay attention to what is at the top and bottom of the saddle map.
Everyone over 1 year of age must have a valid ticket.

Cycling and public transport
We encourage our visitors to think about the environment when going to Ibsenhuset Both walking and cycling are good for both health and the environment. We have secure bike racks mounted in the ground right by the main entrance (facing Lundegata). Ibsenhuset is located just a five-minute walk from Landmannstorget, the hub for bus traffic in Skien. Some routes also stop at Hesselbergs gate, right by the park outside the Ibsenhuset The train station in Skien is about a 15-minute walk from Ibsenhuset .
Parking
You will find good parking facilities near Ibsenhuset and in Bygarasjen, a 5-minute walk from the house.
Hearing impaired
Tele-loop systems are installed throughout Ibsenhuset. In Dovregubbens Hall, we have a newer Phonak system that runs on 2.4Ghz. If you do NOT have a hearing aid with the possibility of 2.4Ghz, we have neckband receivers on loan. We have 8 of these, so be quick to make a reservation by calling 35 90 54 54 90. We cannot guarantee available receivers.
Wheelchair
Ibsenhuset is well adapted for wheelchair users. If you want to sit in the front of Dovregubben's hall, contact the box office well in advance of the performance.
Safety and security
Unfortunately, strollers, seat cushions and walkers cannot be brought into Dovregubbens Hall due to safety concerns in the event of an evacuation.
