Tavastia Club

Opened in 1970, Tavastia is one of Europe’s oldest live clubs. At this nostalgic venue you'll find Finland's biggest names, international stars and newcomers on stage over 250 nights a year. On this page you'll find some practical information about visiting our venue.

Accessibility and Inclusivity

The ground level of Tavastia Club is accessible. There is a low threshold at the main entrance, with a portable ramp available. During concerts, space is reserved at the side of the stage for guests using assistive devices and their personal assistants. If your device needs electricity or you have other specific requirements during the show, please contact us in advance at [email protected].

Personal assistants are usually admitted free of charge and they do not need a separate ticket. Please present the EU Disability Card if requested. Tavastia has one accessible, gender-neutral restroom immediately to the right after the entrance hallway, which is wheelchair accessible and equipped with grab bars.

Assistants for visually impaired and other physically disabled guests are also allowed entry with their employer’s ticket, without needing a separate ticket. However, there may be event-specific exceptions, which we will inform about on the event page.

Semifinal is not accessible: there are two thresholds and two steps at the entrance, and ramps cannot be used due to the steepness of the thresholds and stairs. There is no accessible restroom in Semifinal.

The main entrance to Restaurant Ilves is not accessible. There is a threshold and a relatively sharp turn into the restaurant area. However, Ilves can be accessed via the main entrance of Tavastia through a tunnel with a ramp. You can ask the staff to open the main door by calling Ilves at +358 9 774 67 425 or by having your companion or assistant call for help at the door. There is no accessible restroom in Ilves, but you are welcome to use Tavastia’s accessible restroom even if you do not have a concert ticket for the night or if Tavastia is not open. The restroom is accessible through the same route used to enter Ilves. It is located immediately to the right after entering Tavastia’s hallway.

Coat Check

We charge €3.50 per person for coat check. This fee is not included in the ticket price. We recommend leaving your outerwear and bags at the coat check for safety reasons. Large bags must always be checked for safety purposes. Please note that the service fee mentioned on the ticket refers to Tiketti’s ticketing service fee, not the coat check at the venue.

Concert Schedules

We aim to publish concert start times on our website at least one week before each event. Schedules can also be found on the ticket sales page and on Facebook on the day of the show. Please double-check the concert times on our channels on the event day!

Each concert has a unique schedule and the concert duration varies with each artist. Generally, concerts on weekdays take place from 20:00 to 23:00, and on weekends from 21:00 to 24:00 but there may be exceptions depending on tour schedules, supporting bands or other factors. Always check our channels for specific timings before the event!

Photography at Concerts

Photography and social media sharing are allowed during concerts, as long as it’s done without a flash. You’re welcome to use the hashtags #tavastia and #tavastiaklubi. Please keep in mind that you need permission to photograph other guests and staff. Also, consider those behind you by not filming the entire show, so others can enjoy the concert without having a screen in their line of sight.

For professional equipment (DSLR/detachable lenses/tripods) or publishing artist images beyond personal use, a press permit from the artist’s representative is required. If you’re unsure how to contact the record label or manager, Mikko Merimaa ([email protected]) can guide you. If the performers request no photography, we honor that request, and signs will be posted in the club.

Ticket Sales

Concert tickets can be purchased in advance directly from our website or at www.tiketti.fi/tavastiaklubi. Tiketti also has sales locations in Helsinki and throughout Finland, and tickets are available at any R-Kioski. Reservations can be made online or through Tiketti’s phone service.

If the concert is not sold out in advance, tickets can also be purchased at the door on the night of the event. For sold out events there will not be ticket sales at the door as all the tickets have been sold in advance.

Lost and Found

Lost items are handled by Finland’s Lost Property Service at https://loytotavara.net/, which collects items from our club every two weeks. You can inquire about lost items by calling Finland’s Lost Property Service’s 24-hour hotline at +35860041006. Current call rates can be found on their website.

Stay Updated

Popular concerts can sell out within minutes, so it’s helpful to follow our channels. We announce upcoming concerts on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, and we have a newsletter that’s worth subscribing to! You can subscribe at the bottom of our page.

Safer Space Principles

Tavastia has zero tolerance for any form of harassment, bullying, discrimination, violence, or abuse of power. We expect every visitor to commit to safer space principles. Please contact our bar staff or security immediately if you experience or witness any misconduct. If you encounter harassment at Tavastia, you can also reach out afterward at [email protected]. Note that we do not monitor email during concerts, so it’s best to notify on-site staff as quickly as possible.

VIP Cards

With your VIP card, you can attend most Tavastia concerts for the price of the coat check fee. The VIP card is not valid for sold-out events. We will inform of any exceptions on the event page.
