Planning ahead
A grown-up night out in Vienna: planning a celebration or a group
Stage boxes, VIP tables and coach parking make this an easy evening to book around a celebration. Here is how to put a group night together.

Why this suits a celebration
Between the stage boxes seating up to six and the VIP tables built for a private party with sparkling wine included, the Mirage's seating categories are set up for groups with an occasion to mark, not just couples looking for a table. Booking the right category up front does more for a group night than any amount of table-hopping on arrival.
Getting a group there together
Coach parking is available nearby at Prater 9, which matters for a hen or stag party or a work group arranging shared transport rather than everyone finding their own way. For groups arriving by public transport, U2 Messe-Prater and the U1/S-Bahn Praterstern stop both put you within a short walk or a quick tram ride of the tent.
Wednesday only, so book ahead
Because Burlesque Ohlala runs on Wednesdays only, there is exactly one date a week to plan around rather than a nightly programme to fit into a trip. For a specific celebration date, that makes early booking more important than it would be for a show running every night.
Mixing the evening with the rest of a Vienna trip
A 7pm arrival leaves the daylight hours free for anything else planned in Vienna, and the Prater itself — the park the Mirage sits inside — is worth arriving slightly early for if the weather is good, rather than heading straight to the tent from a taxi.
What to settle before you book
For a group, agree on the seating category before anyone books individually — a stage box or VIP table is sold as one unit, not stitched together from separate standard bookings. Settling numbers and dietary needs as a group ahead of time saves the kitchen and the venue from sorting it out over email close to the date.
