Tickets have been available exclusively from Eventim since Tuesday. Just hours after pre-sales started, it said: “Currently not available.” As usual, the increase is very large and currently there is no certainty whether the quota will still be issued.
There are no live broadcasts on MDR
The news now circulating is even more bitter: Kaisermania will no longer be shown on MDR television in the future! The pop star himself and the organizers of the mega event have decided together with the broadcaster to stop broadcasting live on TV from 2026, you can read about it on the Kaisermania homepage. This also applies to live broadcasts.
It goes on to say: “While the live experience has always been a musical highlight for local audiences, unfortunately this cannot be delivered with the same quality on television.” There are always criticisms, especially regarding sound quality.
