These passes were reasonably priced and offered great flexibility, but they also posed significant challenges for us as organizers. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These are the main reasons why we have decided to stop offering evening sessions:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Limited capacity at venues: Previously, we had several venues that could accommodate about 200 audience members. Now we have 1\u20132 such venues, while other venues have much lower capacity (50\u201370 people). This creates a major imbalance when passholders are free to choose where they want to go, and we end up with empty halls in some places and full houses in others\u2014even when we expect the opposite.   <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Complex ticket logistics: We can\u2019t know in advance where passholders will go, so we have to set aside tickets \u201cjust in case.\u201d This means we sell fewer tickets than we could, and in the worst-case scenario, we have to turn people away\u2014even though there are actually seats available. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Financially and practically challenging: For evening passes to work under the current circumstances, they would have to be much more expensive and, at the same time, sold in limited quantities. This would make the system both costly and inaccessible\u2014and still difficult to administer. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Past experience: In the years we\u2019ve chosen not to hold evening events, we\u2019ve received positive feedback from both the public and venues. The events have been more predictable, and the execution has been better. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We fully understand that many people miss the flexibility that evening sessions offered\u2014it made it easier to wander around and make choices as you went along. But it is precisely this flexibility that has created the biggest challenges for us. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We hope you&#8217;ll understand that we&#8217;ve had to make a change, and we promise to continue doing our best to provide great concert experiences\u2014no matter which ticket you buy!<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tickets are available on our sales page at Hoopla: dsb.hoopla.no For those who have purchased an accommodation package from Svalbard Adventures or Hurtigruten, you will receive your own code from them for access to ticket sales.
