Messiah from Scratch booking 2026

4 February 2026

Messiah from Scratch booking 2026 will, as last year, be online. Booking opens 10 am, Thursday 9th April 2026 (please note change of date!) for the performance on Sunday 8 November at the Royal Albert Hall.

If you have not booked tickets for Messiah from Scratch® since 2024, please be aware that we have done away with our old system which relied on sending paper forms and cheques in the post.  Instead, we have linked our membership database with the Royal Albert Hall’s online booking system, enabling a more secure process. Please note that the two systems remain entirely separate: there is no sharing of data between the two organisations.

For singers, the Messiah from Scratch® booking page on the RAH website can only be accessed via our own website. You need to be a member of our mailing list before you can book singing tickets, but it is very easy to join here. Try to do this well before 9th April to avoid a last-minute rush.

If you booked Messiah tickets in 2025, then nothing will have changed. You might like to download our new booking leaflet (see below) and refresh your memory.

If you did not book tickets in 2025, the same leaflet has all the information you need about Messiah from Scratch booking 2026. Take your time and follow the instructions carefully.

Click here to download the booking information leaflet (opens in a new window).

The leaflet will guide you through all the necessary steps, but please note the following:

> You can book audience seats directly with the Royal Albert Hall without going through our website
> The RAH has a limit of 12 seats for any one booking transaction. To book more than this, you will need to split your order into two or more separate bookings. If you need to book more than 36 singing tickets, please contact us (members@trbc.co.uk) before 14 February 2026.
