Music thrives on the audience and the atmosphere it creates, so the competition participants are delighted to have a large audience to whom they can showcase their talent. At the Alpe Adria Harmonica Competition, musicians from Austria, Germany, Italy, Slovenia and Switzerland showcase their talent. The larger and more international the audience, the greater the joy of the artists on stage.

Participants in the competition receive free admission to all competitions, as well as to the evening event and the awards ceremony.

Day tickets are available for accompanying persons and visitors at a price of €15. These include admission to the Alpe Adria Harmonica Competition, the instrument exhibition, the award ceremony and the subsequent evening event.
