Wiener Konzerthausgesellschaft

What Wiener Konzerthausgesellschaft does

The Wiener Konzerthausgesellschaft is a Vienna-based non-profit cultural association (Verein, ZVR 748441625) founded in 1913 that operates the Wiener Konzerthaus, a multi-hall concert complex at Lothringerstraße 20, 1030 Wien. The venue comprises four purpose-built halls — the Großer Saal (1,865 seats, refurbished 1999), Mozart-Saal (704 seats, with integrated recording studio), Schubert-Saal (~320 seats), and Berio-Saal (400 seats, electro-acoustic equipped) — together providing approximately 3,289 seats and supporting programming in classical, contemporary, jazz, world, and popular music. The organization serves general concert-goers, families, school groups, under-30 audiences, patrons, and people with disabilities, and partners on cooperative events with Wiener Symphoniker, Klangforum Wien, Musikverein Wien Modern, and Europäisches Forum Alpbach.

The organization's products and services break down into ticket sales (single, subscription, and package; Tixly-powered online shop plus phone, in-person, and postal channels), venue rental to third-party promoters, ancillary services (Matterport virtual tours, an on-site EssDur restaurant, guided tours, an accessibility services program compliant with EN 301 549 and WCAG 2.2 AA), and a philanthropic layer that includes a searchable archive of more than 10,000 historical concert records. The website and digital experience are built on the Django framework via MIR MEDIA's Block-Editor, with payment processing handled by Mollie B.V. and QENTA Payment CEE GmbH. Dedicated sub-programs include children/family concerts, school concerts, the U30 youth initiative, the inclusive "klangberührt" format, and a child/youth-focused summer program.

Wiener Konzerthausgesellschaft makes money through five interlocking revenue streams: transaction-based ticket sales for self-organized and rental events, recurring season subscriptions (with renewal rights on fixed seats known as Stammplätze), tiered annual memberships (Youth €25, Member €90, Supporting Member €190, Supporter €550, Patron from €2,200), venue rental income from external promoters (with Wiener Konzerthausgesellschaft acting as ticketing agent), and philanthropy including tax-deductible memberships and donations. Public cultural funding and sponsorships supplement these streams; the organization is regulated as a private non-profit association under Austrian law with no parent company, no equity funding, and no public listing.
