Tickets for this year's Festigal, an annual Hanukkah-themed musical show for children, have increased by 10 shekels across all seating tiers, with top prices reaching 199 shekels. However, consumers can significantly reduce these costs through various consumer clubs, employee benefits, and credit card programs, with some tickets available for under 30 shekels.
Festigal's 2026 production, titled 'TOP SECRET,' will cost 139 shekels for upper tier seats, 169 for lower tier, and 199 for central seating. Even the cheapest tickets represent a substantial expense for families, with five people potentially paying nearly 700 shekels for the least expensive options.
Beyond Festigal, other children's shows for Hanukkah are priced between 109 and 139 shekels at the box office. Through the 'Chaver' club, many of these shows are available for as little as 39 shekels, and one show, 'The Miracle,' is offered for just 25 shekels, down from its 139 shekel box office price. 'Chaver' also offers discounted tickets for 'Bravo Circus' at 39 shekels (down from 119) and 'Squish Party' for 59-69 shekels (down from 149-179).
Consumers are advised to check multiple discount clubs, as prices can vary significantly between them for the same event. These discounts are not universally available and depend on membership in specific employee organizations, banks, or credit card holders. Availability is also limited, with discounts ending once stock is depleted.
