You can watch the play every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. From May to October you can watch it on the open air stage. You’ll see Prambanan in the background. This is definitely the best time to watch the performance. From November through to April it’s performed at the indoor stage. The stage is slightly smaller. The performance is the same whichever venue you go to.

There are 4 classes of tickets for the Ramayana Ballet. The cheapest seats are Class II and the best seats are VIP. There’s a graphic with the seating arrangements in the tab above. We recommend getting the Special tickets or VIP tickets. It’s a good idea to book the Ramayana Ballet early. Tickets are in high demand, especially during the high season, which is from June to late September.

The Ramayana Ballet is a fun way to fill your evening. You’ll enjoy yourself (please bring some layers or jacket because sometimes it can be a little bit cold at night at the open stage). It’s a real spectacle. There are fire dancers and huge set pieces. If you’re looking for a cheap simple and hassle free way to watch the show we’re happy to help.
