Berliner Philharmonie

The rating would be five stars but for the difficulties I encountered with the box office. The building itself is accessible and the standard of the music making is outstanding. Because of this and the limited number of wheelchair spaces, you need to book well in advance (I.e. months, not weeks). It is not possible to book wheelchair places on-line or by email but the telephone booking line offers the option of speaking with someone who speaks English. I had an exchange of emails with the box office and emailed them a PDF of documents (with translation into German) proving that wife is a wheelchair user. They said that these were acceptable but when I phoned to book tickets I was told that they were not & that we would have to pay full price.
