Press Release
Waldbuehne Berlin: CTS EVENTIM renews lease
long term contract for Europe's leading amphitheatre executed / total
attendance of more than 200.000 in 2014 / many highlights for summer season
2015
Berlin, 26. January 2015 - Europe's leading ticketing services provider,
CTS EVENTIM AG & Co KGaA, continues to operate the Waldbuehne Berlin. The
SDAX listed Bremen based company has executed a new long term lease
agreement with the federal state of Berlin.
CTS EVENTIM had taken over the Waldbuehne in 2009 and set the target to
significantly increase event and attendance numbers in Europe's most
beautiful open air theatre. The mission was successfully accomplished, and
today the Waldbuehne is the first choice venue for many leading artists.
With its variety of events and unique scenery, the Waldbuehne has ranked
high in various awards and according to Pollstar magazine once more was the
leading amphitheatre venue in Europe in 2014.
After the record breaking 2013 season, 2014 was again very successful with
total attendance number topping 200,000. For 2015, a diverse event roster
has already been announced. Herbert Groenemeyer will play the Waldbuehne
two nights as part of his "Dauernd Jetzt" Tour, followed by artists like
David Garrett and Andrea Berg, legendary east-German band Karat, the
traditional end of season concert of the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra
directed by Sir Simon Rattle with Lang Lang on piano, and many more. A
regular Waldbuehne guest for many years, Daniel Barenboim and his West
Eastern Divan Orchestra will also perform once again in 2015. Further
highlights are in the pipeline and will be announced shortly.
Rainer Appel, Senior Vice President at CTS EVENTIM: "We are very happy our
commitment to this exceptional venue is paying rewards and we can continue
to operate the Waldbuehne Berlin. Our thanks go to Berlin for the trust and
confidence they place in us, and of course to all of the artists, promoters
and spectators of the Waldbuehne."
