What is "Candlelight Foto"?

Can I buy "Candlelight Foto" at the venue?
Photos can be purchased at the venue until they sell out.

Please note that we only accept credit card payments on site; cash payment is not possible.

We will carry out your photo session before or after the concert. However, to allow enough time for taking your photos, we prefer to hold the photo session after the concert.
When will I receive my photo?
You can choose your photos for printing on site. Our team will then print the photos you've selected and you can take them with you. Please don't forget to collect your photos, as we are unable to keep them. If you leave the venue without your photos, please note that we cannot offer you a refund or a new photo experience slot.
Where exactly does the photo session take place at the venue?
Once you've entered the venue, our on-site staff will give you further details about the location of the photo experience. You will also hear announcements reminding guests of this unique opportunity. If you have any further questions, simply get in touch with our on-site staff.
How can I prove that I've booked the photo experience?
You'll receive a QR code by email, separate from your ticket purchase confirmation. Show this QR code to the photographer at the venue so they can validate it to begin your photo session.
Can I get a refund for the photo experience?
Refunds are only available if the photo experience has to be cancelled for reasons within our control. In such a case, you will be refunded for your photo experience booking.
What should I wear?
Please dress warmly: the temperature inside the church is 18 degrees.
Where can I find my ticket?
You'll find your ticket in the “Tickets” section of the Fever app, signing in with the same method you used to buy. Your QR code is also in your confirmation email. Tickets are fully digital, so there is no need to print anything.
Are the candles real? Are they flammable?
For everyone's safety, the candles are LED: they recreate the glow of a flame without real fire, so they don't burn and pose no risk.
Can I take photos or record videos? Can I use my phone during the performance?
Please keep your phone on silent throughout the performance. Photos and videos are only allowed when the musicians say so, and always without flash.
How are seats assigned? Can we sit together?
Seats are not numbered: they are assigned on arrival, first come first served, within the zone you purchased. To sit together, your whole group needs to arrive at the same time with tickets for the same zone.
