The Opera in Vienna: "cheap standing-places for 2 euros" Top 5 Page for this destination Austria Nightlife Tip by globetrott

For the opera in Vienna you can order very good tickets in all price-levels, when you click on my link below ! In case that you are on a budget and dont mind to get just a STANDING-place in Staatsoper, you can get tickets for just 2 euros (and there are also some for 3,50 euros) and there are lots of them available for each and every performance !
Every day there is a different program (take a look at the link below !!) and 1 hour +20 minutes before the performance will start,you are able to buy these tickets for the standing-places. In case that Netrebko or any other famous star is part of the ensemble that night, it might make sense to queue up for the standing-places maybe 2 hours before the performance starts. The counter to buy tickets for "STEHPLATZ" is in OPERNGASSE, inside the Oper, so be there IN time, and you will get one of these cheap tickets ! The door of Staatsoper in Operngasse will open just 80 minutes before the performance starts, BUT you may queue up in front of the door, under the arcades of the Oper !
------
Just to make it clear :The main entrance of the Opera is at RING-strasse. When you look at the Opera from Ringstrasse you have Kaerntner-Strasse and Herbert von Karajan-Platz at your right, that is where the souvenir-shops, the ticket-office and Opern-Cafe is and Hotel Bristol etc..
On your LEFT is Operngasse, the street leading towards the Albertina :
THERE is that small door, under the arcades of the Opera, and it will have a small signpost "Stehplatz-Kasse"

Dress Code: There is no strict dress-code at all any more in Staatsoper, you may be dressed like a tourist, BUT I also saw a perfectely-dressed tourist who was kicked out because he was drunk !
