How to Book
Tickets for most performances at Siamsa Tíre can be booked online. You can pick the exact seat you want, as well as purchase Gift Vouchers, CDs and other souvenirs from the National Folk Theatre via our online ticketing system.
All online bookings include a €1.50 booking fee – this is per booking, not per ticket, so the booking fee remains the same regardless of the number of tickets you purchase.
Alternatively, tickets for all performances can be booked by phoning our Box Office on +353 66 7123055 or by calling into our Box Office at Siamsa Tíre, Town Park, Tralee during opening hours.
