Lucerne Festival

Every year, three different festivals are held as part of the Lucerne Festival. Visitors must keep track of these three „seasons“. This is made possible by a well-structured list of events that offers the most important information at a glance. With just one click, users can access the respective detailed view or filter the list using the powerful search function for artist, event, composer, etc.

At the centre of the website is the innovative 3D hall plan booking system, which makes it possible to experience the extraordinary concert hall already when buying a ticket. Visitors who want to purchase a ticket don't have to deal with abstract seating plans, but can virtually try out seats with a direct view of the stage as if they were on site.

The majority of tickets for the three annual festivals are sold in one day. CMS, website and webshop are optimized to meet the extreme performance requirements and respond to this rush with a numbered queue where users can queue up. Thus, ticketing works like in real life: First come, first served.

The sophisticated aesthetic appeal of the Lucerne Festival was to be reflected on the website. Striking images provide for emotionality and clarity. In particular, the detailed event views and the artist directory were staged with large portrait images of international artists, giving a foretaste of the event. The first experience before the big spectacle.
