Where to buy Benidorm Palace tickets

About Benidorm Palace — the most famous cabaret theatre on the Costa Blanca

Benidorm Palace has been the headline night-out in Benidorm since it opened in 1977. The purpose-built cabaret theatre seats around 1,600 in a tiered, table-service layout that wraps around a huge proscenium stage — and the show that runs on that stage is, on most nights, a Las Vegas / Moulin Rouge-style spectacular blending dance, acrobatics, live vocals, aerial work, costume, fire, lighting and pyrotechnics. On other nights the same stage hosts the biggest tribute acts touring the Costa Blanca — ABBA, Queen, Tina Turner, Elvis, Rod Stewart, Michael Bublé, Whitney Houston, Take That and others rotate through the calendar.

That's why "where to buy Benidorm Palace tickets" is one of the most-searched holiday questions in Benidorm: it's the show almost every visitor wants to see at least once, and getting your tickets sorted in the right place — at the right price, with the right transfer — makes a real difference to the night.

Benidorm Palace ticket prices in 2026

Prices vary by night, headline act and seat position, but as a rough guide for 2026:

• Show-only ticket: ~€30–€38 per adult. You get a seat in the cabaret room with table service for drinks (paid extra).
• Show + drink: ~€40–€48. Includes one drink on arrival or a small drinks package.
• Dinner + show: ~€60–€85. Multi-course set menu served before the cabaret starts, usually with a wine / beer / soft drinks package.
• Hotel + transfer package: excursion sellers often bundle Palace tickets with door-to-door coach transfer from your hotel for around €45–€55 show-only or €75–€95 dinner-and-show. Convenient if you don't want to taxi back at midnight.
• Children: reduced-price tickets are typically available for under-12s; under-3s usually free if not occupying a seat. Confirm at booking — some headline adult tribute nights have age restrictions.

Should I book direct from Benidorm Palace, or through a reseller?

Both work. Booking direct (box office or benidorm-palace.com) gives you the most accurate live seating availability and the cleanest refund/exchange terms straight from the venue. Booking through a hotel desk or excursion seller is more convenient if you also want a transfer included, and is often the easiest route for first-time visitors. Booking through a major online reseller (GetYourGuide, Viator, Tiqets) lets you pay in your home currency, confirm instantly in English, and get a digital voucher you can show at the door.

The one thing we'd flag: avoid paying cash to unbranded "ticket touts" on the strip with no kiosk, no receipt and no website you can find — there's a small but real risk of being sold a re-printed or invalid ticket on the door. Every legitimate Benidorm Palace seller will give you a printed or emailed confirmation with the venue's branding on it.

What time do I need to arrive?

For a show-only ticket, doors usually open from around 9:00pm and the show starts at around 10:00pm. Get there for 9:15–9:30pm to find your table and order drinks before lights down.

For a dinner-and-show ticket, the dining hall opens from around 8:00pm. You'll be seated at your table for the cabaret immediately after dinner, so there's no awkward gap. The whole evening — dinner, drinks, show — typically wraps by about midnight, with taxis queuing at the front door.

How to get to Benidorm Palace

Benidorm Palace sits at Av. Dr. Severo Ochoa, 13, on the inland edge of the Rincón de Loix area. From most Levante hotels and the Calle Gerona English square it's a 15–20 minute walk, or a €6–€9 taxi. From the Old Town allow a €9–€12 taxi. There is a large free on-site car park if you're driving. Pre-booked excursion packages almost always include hotel pick-up and drop-off — a good shout if you're staying further out in Cala de Finestrat or Albir.

What to expect from the show itself

The signature Benidorm Palace cabaret is a single, choreographed 90-minute production with multiple scenes, costume changes, dance routines, live vocals, aerial and acrobatic sequences, and the venue's famous moving stage and pyrotechnics. It's family-suitable — closer in tone to a Las Vegas variety show than to anything risqué — and the production values are genuinely high; this is not a bar cabaret. Tribute nights replace the main cabaret with a full headline tribute concert on the same stage with the same lighting and sound rig, which is why these dates sell out fastest.

Best nights to go

Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday are the easiest nights to walk up to and the most relaxed atmosphere. Friday and Saturday are the biggest nights, the most likely to sell out, and the most fun if you want a packed room. Look for the headline tribute weekends if you want a specific act — these are advertised on the line-up grid above and on the venue's own social channels.

Final tip — book the dinner package on a special occasion

If it's a birthday, hen do, anniversary or one-off "treat" night, take the full dinner-and-show package and ask for a table near the front when you book. The dining room is part of the experience, the staff will usually mark a special occasion (a cake, a song, photos at the table), and you won't be queuing for drinks once the show kicks off.
