Win TSO Tickets: Trans-Siberian Orchestra Returns to GR

The Trans-Siberian Orchestra is celebrating its 30th anniversary with an all-new show coming to Grand Rapids, Michigan, this December. TSO will perform two shows, and we’ve got several ways for you to win tickets and more!

Trans-Siberian Orchestra

When it comes to family-friendly Christmas shows that rock, nothing compares to the Trans-Siberian Orchestra. From the unforgettable story and powerful songs to the incredible singers, musicians and jaw-dropping production, TSO delivers a one-of-a-kind experience. It’s no wonder they’ve been captivating audiences for three decades.

When TSO first came to Grand Rapids, the shows were held at DeVos Performance Hall. As the production grew larger and more spectacular, the band eventually moved to Van Andel Arena, where they now perform both a 3 p.m. matinee and a 7:30 p.m.show. For many West Michigan families, making TSO part of their holiday celebration has become a cherished tradition passed down from year to year.

Trans-Siberian Orchestra will bring “The Ghosts of Christmas Eve: The Best of TSO & More” to Van Andel Arena for two shows on December 6, 2026. Presale tickets go on sale Thursday, September 17, at 10 a.m., followed by the general public on-sale Friday, September 18, at 10 a.m.

One dollar from each ticket sold for the 7:30 p.m. show will be donated to the Free Beer and Hot Wings charity, Idiots for Underdogs to benefit the "Holiday Break-ins" giving families in West Michigan a Christmas they otherwise might not have had.
