Trans-Siberian Orchestra 2026 Presale: Key Dates

TSO runs one of the more layered presale processes in touring, so here’s the breakdown for 2026:

• September 10 – Fan Club Pre-Sale Day 1 (November show dates). Legacy members can buy starting at 10 a.m. local time; Signature members starting at noon local time.
• September 11 – Fan Club Pre-Sale Day 2 (December show dates), same Legacy/Signature access windows.
• September 17 – Official TSO Pre-Sale, open to the general public for 24 hours with no fan club membership required.
• September 18 – General On-Sale, open to everyone.

If you missed the presale windows entirely, don’t worry. TickPick fills up with fan-listed tickets almost immediately after each presale and on-sale wave, so you can still land seats without refreshing a ticketing site at 10 a.m. sharp.

Pro Tips for Presales:

• Join the TSO fan club if you value front-floor seats — fan-club sales often release the best floor inventory. Codes appear in your account and are emailed the night before your presale window.
• Sign up for the official TSO text reminder and your venue’s mailing list to get the open presale code the minute it’s released.
• Have your payment method and ticketing account logged in before the presale begins. Evening tickets, in particular, will move fast.

Trans-Siberian Orchestra 2026 Setlist: What Will They Play?

The 2026 tour centers on a newly staged version of “The Ghosts of Christmas Eve,” TSO’s signature rock opera about a runaway who takes shelter in an abandoned theater on Christmas Eve and is guided by the ghosts of its past. As has been the format for over two decades, the show is split into two acts:

• Act One tells the “Ghosts of Christmas Eve” story in full, built around tracks from Christmas Eve and Other Stories and The Christmas Attic, narrated between musical numbers.
• Act Two is a high-energy set pulling from across TSO’s catalog. Think fan favorites and rarely performed deep cuts alongside the songs most associated with the band’s holiday legacy.

While every night has small surprises, TSO’s holiday shows reliably include the core spectaculars. Based on recent tours and fan setlist archives, expect a show that blends orchestral arrangements and rock production with crowd favorites such as:

• “Christmas Eve (Sarajevo 12/24)” (aka “Christmas Eve Sarajevo”)
• “Wizards in Winter” (the light-show staple)
• “Christmas Canon Rock” / “Christmas Canon”
• Selections from The Lost Christmas Eve and The Ghosts of Christmas Eve segments, plus newer medleys and seasonal covers.

Because this year’s production features reimagined staging for the 30th anniversary, the exact song-by-song setlist may shift slightly from past tours and can vary night to night between the East and West companies.

Does Trans-Siberian Orchestra Have an Opening Act?

No. TSO doesn’t tour with a traditional opening act. The band’s two-act format, with an intermission between the narrative-driven first half and the rock-focused second half, is designed to fill the entire show on its own. What changes from city to city isn’t an opener, but which of TSO’s two touring companies (East or West) is performing, since each has its own musicians, singers, and production crew running concurrently across the country.
