"The Ghosts of Christmas Eve" comes to **Van Andel Arena** for two incredible performances on **Sunday, December 6** at 3:00PM & 7:30PM.

Based on TSO’s TV show and multi-platinum DVD, “[The Ghosts of Christmas Eve](https://www.trans-siberian.com/products/the-ghosts-of-christmas-eve-dvd)” follows the journey of a runaway who breaks into an abandoned vaudeville theater on December 24th. 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.

The rock opera features beloved songs originally forged by O'Neill and the group’s composers - tracks that have evolved into massive, permanent fixtures of modern culture. TSO’s signature hit, "Christmas Eve/Sarajevo 12/24," has achieved rare status as an untouchable seasonal juggernaut. Standing as the #3 best-selling holiday digital single in music history, the track alone has amassed more than 300 million global streams. Decades after its initial recording, the RIAA 3x Platinum-certified track remains in heavy seasonal radio rotation, dominates commercial soundtracks, and serves as the global standard for synchronized neighborhood and commercial animated light displays every winter.

  
**Tickets on sale Friday, September 18th at 10:00AM**. *\*Please note the box office will not be open for this on sale.*
