Marketing & Ticketing Manager

Schouwburg Concertzaal Tilburg hosts approximately 400 performances and concerts each year, attracting more than 180,000 visitors. In addition, as a performing arts institution, we serve as a venue for (corporate) events, and thousands of enthusiastic and curious students attend our school performances. Starting in mid-September, we open our doors 365 days a year, from early morning until late at night, because we believe our venue should be bustling all day long. With our new Boove & Benee concept, we’re adding an inspiring urban foyer for working and studying, as well as an accessible city café, to our organizational philosophy. We are doing everything we can to make Schouwburg Concertzaal Tilburg a sanctuary. An open and inspiring place for free speech, for evolving ideas, for validation, and for a different perspective. A stage for new stories, forgotten history, and the here and now. Here, connection, culture, and nightlife are intertwined. We believe it is important that everyone—both on and off stage—feels free to be themselves and to contribute to our unifying ambition: to be the cultural hub in the heart of Tilburg.
