Buying tickets
Lemon Tree
Tickets can be purchased 24 hours a day at aberdeenperformingarts.com, which also has all the latest news and listings. You can also visit the box office in person from 10am, Tue-Sat at His Majesty’s Theatre and the Music Hall, or phone our team on 01224 641122.
Where is it?
You will find the Lemon Tree right behind Marischal College on West North Street - just in case you’re not sure, here’s a map:
By bus: there is a bus stop right outside and we’re just round the corner from Union St, King St and Broad St so lots of buses
By car: try the car parks at Frederick St, Marischal College and Gallowgate.
How much?
RosemountViaduct
Schoolhill
Belmont St

UnionStreetToBus&TrainStations
King Street
We’ve printed the whole price of ticket in the brochure, this includes the booking fee (the only extra you’ll have to pay for is postage, but most tickets are now e-tickets that can be printed at home or shown on your digital device) - there could well be discounts for students, children, over 60s or Friends of Aberdeen Performing Arts - just ask or check online.
Do I sit or stand?
A bit of both - we try and create the right atmosphere for each gig, some will have seats, some won’t - we’ve tried to list it where we can here.
What do the times mean?
If it says ‘doors’ then that’s when the doors open and you get inside for a drink. If it says ‘start’ that’s when the show starts. Some shows have support acts, we can’t always confirm this until nearer the time and ‘start’ can mean the start of the support act, not the main act.
How old do I have to be?
All ages are welcome, but under 16s must be accompanied by an adult, and under 18s can’t be near the bars.
