Orlando’s Amway Center on Friday, December 22 at 2:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m
Prepare for a musical journey like no other this winter as Trans-Siberian Orchestra (TSO) announces their spectacular holiday tour, The Ghosts of Christmas Eve – The Best of TSO & More. This year’s tour promises a new and larger presentation of the beloved holiday tradition, “The Ghosts of Christmas Eve,” which has captured the hearts of multiple generations. The 62-city tour launches on Wednesday, November 15, delivering an impressive 104 performances and includes its annual visit to Orlando’s Amway Center on Friday, December 22 at 2:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Tickets go on sale to the general public on Friday, September 15 at 10 a.m. ET
The Amway Center pre-sale begins Thursday, September 14 at 10 a.m. ET through 11:59 p.m. ET. Additionally, a portion of the proceeds benefits local charities, including the Advent Health Foundation, Baby DJ, Inc., Lifeboat Project and Mel’s Bad Girls Club. Beginning with the public on sale, a limited number of specially-priced $39 (additional fees apply) tickets will be available for one week or while supplies last.
A product of the imagination of TSO’s late founder Paul O’Neill and based on TSO’s multi-platinum CD and television special, “The Ghosts of Christmas Eve,” follows the journey of a runaway who breaks into an abandoned vaudeville theater on December 24. While seeking shelter from the cold, the teen is discovered by the theater’s caretaker who uses the ghosts and spirits from the building’s past to turn her life around. Following the performance of the rock opera, 2023’s tour also boasts a rocking, blazing and laser-lit second set containing more of TSO’s greatest hits, fan-favorites and surprises. In addition to experiencing the story at TSO’s live concerts this year, fans at home can watch a digitally-restored “The Ghosts of Christmas Eve” on their local PBS station.
“For 27 years you have helped make O’Neill’s TSO stories a part of your holiday tradition. And, for 27 years,our tradition has been to make every year’s tour better than the last, for you. This year is no exception, as the tour will be the best ever. I can’t wait to see our ‘repeat offenders’ at the shows and look forward to seeing new faces as well,” said TSO’s Music Director and lead guitarist Al Pitrelli.
TSO, which has sold more than 12 million albums and DVDs, will release music in several formats this fall, including a 25th-anniversary edition of “The Christmas Attic” on vinyl, in deluxe and standard packaging, on September 29; a clear vinyl pressing of “Christmas Eve and Other Stories” on November 3; plus, a digital release of “The Ghosts of Christmas Eve” in Dolby Atmos Spatial Audio and hi-fidelity stereo mixes, including both the songs and narration, titled “The Ghosts Of Christmas Eve – The Complete Narrated Version” on November 10.
Since its touring debut, TSO has played more than 2,000 Winter Tour shows to more than 18 million fans. In the past 10 years (encompassing nine tours), TSO has performed for more than 8 million fans. Keeping with O’Neill’s vision, TSO remains one of rock’s most charitable bands. Once again, TSO will give at least $1.00 from every ticket sold to charity. To date, more than $18 million has been donated by the group.

About Amway Center
Amway Center, owned and operated by the City of Orlando on behalf of the Central Florida community, hosts major national events, concerts and family shows since its opening in the Fall 2010. The Orlando Magic served as the developer and the facility was designed to reflect the character of the community, meet the goals of the users and build on the legacy of sports and entertainment in Orlando. The building’s exterior features a modern blend of glass and metal materials, along with ever-changing graphics via a monumental wall along one facade. A 180-foot tall tower serves as a beacon amid the downtown skyline. The 875,000 square foot, Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold-certified building features a sustainable, environmentally-friendly design and unmatched technology, including 1,100 digital monitors, the tallest high-definition video board in an NBA venue and multiple premium amenities available to all patrons in the building. Amway Center was recently honored with the International Association of Venue Managers’ 2017 Venue Excellence Award, which is bestowed upon facilities that excel in the management and operation of public assembly venues. Amway Center was the only arena to garner this distinction. Additionally, the arena has earned numerous awards, which most notably includes The Stadium Business Awards’ 2013 Customer Experience Award and was named SportsBusiness Journal’s 2012 Sports Facility of the Year.
