Login problems
Please note that this is a new ticketing system separate to the old Theatre in English site. You are therefore unable to use your old login from purchases before April 2022 and must create a new account. The gaos.ch Members' Area also has a separate login.

Currencies
When selecting your seats, you can select the payment currency as CHF or Euros (above the seat plan). This will mean your payment is processed and your invoice is issued in the selected currency.
Please note that Paypal and Stripe may charge an additional currency conversion fee when paying in Euros. It may therefore be a cheaper option to select CHF with a Euro card, depending on the conversion rate your credit card company offers.
