Trans-Siberian Orchestra 30th Anniversary Winter Tour: "The Ghosts of Christmas Eve" dates, presales and tickets

Thirty years in, Trans-Siberian Orchestra still knows how to make an arena feel like the inside of a snow globe wired to a power plant. Towering flames, lasers, orchestral strings, hard-rock guitars and one of the most recognizable holiday songs ever recorded have turned TSO's winter run into a tradition of its own.

For 2026, Trans-Siberian Orchestra is celebrating its 30th anniversary with a newly reimagined staging of "The Ghosts of Christmas Eve." The production will once again tell Paul O'Neill's holiday story before shifting into a second set packed with TSO favorites.

And this is a massive anniversary run. TSO's two touring companies will combine for 96 performances across 56 North American markets between Thursday, November 19 and Wednesday, December 30. The schedule includes two-show days across the country, plus stops at Delta Center in Salt Lake City, Amerant Bank Arena in Sunrise and Rocket Arena in Cleveland — three venues where SeatGeek is the Official Ticketing Partner.

Trans-Siberian Orchestra 2026 tour dates and schedule

TSO's 30th Anniversary Winter Tour begins Thursday, November 19 with performances in Green Bay and Council Bluffs. The two touring productions then crisscross North America through December 30, when the run concludes with shows in Buffalo and St. Louis.

Most two-show cities feature the same production in the afternoon and evening, so fans can choose the showtime that works best for them.

When are the presales and the onsale for the Trans-Siberian Orchestra tour?

TSO is using a staggered presale schedule in 2026, with fan club members receiving the first opportunity to buy tickets before the broader TSO presale and public onsale.

Legacy status applies to fan club members who purchased tickets through the Fan Club Presale for at least two tours between 2019 and 2025 using the same account. All other fan club members are classified as Signature members. Fan club presale codes are unique to each account and can be used for up to six tickets total.

The September 17 Official TSO Presale does not require fan club membership or advance registration. Fans can sign up through TSO to receive the presale code by SMS or email.

Which Trans-Siberian Orchestra presales and onsales are on SeatGeek?

SeatGeek is the Official Ticketing Partner for Delta Center, Amerant Bank Arena and Rocket Arena, which means SeatGeek will directly host the applicable presales and public onsales for TSO's 2026 shows at those venues.

For the November 24 shows at Delta Center in Salt Lake City, the Fan Club Presale begins Thursday, September 10 at 10:00 a.m. MT for Legacy members and noon MT for Signature members.

Because Amerant Bank Arena's Sunrise show on December 18 and Rocket Arena's Cleveland shows on December 22 fall in December, their Fan Club Presales begin Friday, September 11 at 10:00 a.m. ET for Legacy members and noon ET for Signature members.

Fans shopping those three markets can return to SeatGeek for the Official TSO Presale on September 17 and the public onsale on September 18. There may also be SeatGeek presales for partner venue stops, with those taking place on Thursday, September 17 at 10 a.m. local venue time and "SEATGEEK" as the access code.

What to expect from Trans-Siberian Orchestra's 2026 tour

TSO is celebrating its 30th anniversary with a reimagined production of "The Ghosts of Christmas Eve," bringing one of its most familiar holiday stories back to arenas with new staging for 2026.

The story follows a runaway who takes shelter inside an abandoned vaudeville theater on Christmas Eve, where the theater's caretaker introduces her to stories and spirits connected to its past. Rather than playing out like a standard concert setlist, the first part of the show blends live music, vocals, narration and theatrical visuals to tell the story onstage.

From there, the night shifts into a second set built around TSO classics and fan favorites. Expect the full-scale production the group is known for, with hard-rock guitars and orchestral arrangements alongside lasers, massive video and lighting elements, elevated platforms and arena-sized pyrotechnics.

For the anniversary tour, TSO has also expanded its inventory of lower-priced tickets in an effort to make the shows more accessible to families. At least $1 from every ticket sold will continue to benefit select local charities.

How to get Trans-Siberian Orchestra tickets on SeatGeek

Start by searching Trans-Siberian Orchestra on SeatGeek and selecting the city, date and showtime that fits your plans. In markets with both afternoon and evening performances, comparing both events can give you more seating and price options.

For Delta Center, Amerant Bank Arena and Rocket Arena, SeatGeek is the venue's official ticketing partner. That means fans purchasing those 2026 TSO shows can use SeatGeek for the primary presales and public onsales, not just resale tickets.

Once tickets are available, use SeatGeek's interactive seat map and seat views to compare locations throughout the arena. For a production this visual, deciding whether you want to be close enough to feel the heat from the pyrotechnics or farther back for a wider view of the lasers, lighting and entire stage can be just as important as the row number.

SeatGeek's all-in pricing lets you compare the total ticket price upfront, while Deal Score can help surface stronger values across available sections and showtimes. Every eligible purchase is also backed by the SeatGeek Buyer Guarantee.

Thirty years after TSO first plugged Christmas music into an amplifier, the formula still shouldn't make this much sense — and somehow that's exactly why it works. Find your show, pick your view and get ready for the moment "Christmas Eve/Sarajevo 12/24" hits while an entire arena lights up around you.
