The Style Ticket is intended for all guests who enjoy styling and allow their creativity free play and therefore contribute to the
success of the Life Ball. Unlike the regular ticket at EUR 150.00, Life Ball pays tribute to special effort and with the Style Ticket at
EUR 75.00 offers a more attractive alternative to experience the Life Ball.
The creation of a stunning costume for the Life Ball should be understood as a signal against small mindedness
and conservatism. Your appearance should be spectacular, opulent, glamorous, imaginative, and should also
provoke conventions. At the same time your Life Ball styling expertise has an influence on the emotions of the
viewers and the media, and therefore you have the responsibility to create awareness for the fight against AIDS.
The dress code excludes participation at the Life Ball when wearing jeans, t-shirt and sneakers, and other casual
clothing. With the Style Ticket you have the privilege to enter the Life Ball from the Ring “Ringstraße” and to
walk down the red carpet. The admission to the red carpet is guarded by the Style Police which supervises the
Life Ball dress code.
Extravagant headdress, outstanding hair style, and glamorous make-up are important for the first impression
and essential for entering with a Style-Ticket. The best addresses for wigs, hairpieces, bald heads, flashy hair
colors and glitter, elaborate headdress such as feathers, diadems, crowns and hats, as well as oversized eyelashes,
nails, and bodypainting can be found at
The right Life Ball outfit is not a carnival costume. Each year a new ball theme is created to give you an orien-
tation for your styling. Behind this theme lies a deeper meaning that dominates the whole program and makes
you to participants. The offerings from numerous costume and fancy dress rentals and their trusted experts can
offer useful hints for your individual look. Contacts to costume rentals and a list of providers for textiles, tulle,
sequin, fake fur, flowers, costume jewelry, and special accessories can be found at .
If your styling carries special symbols for the fight against AIDS or symbols of safe sex you will have a bonus when
passing the Style Police.
Fetish outfits signalize power, protection, commitment and trust – terms that are also very important to the
Life Ball. Leather & latex should cause admiration and demand a thoughtful use. Shocking self-display only
provokes incomprehension and prejudices.
The beauty of naked bodies lies in the eyes of the spectator. The desire to play with intimacy is transported by
visions not by blank presentation.
The playing with illusions of painted bodies should be an inspiration. The appearance in sexy lingerie as well –
but the Life Ball is a festival of aesthetics.
Masks allow you to play roles. They dissolve structures of society and allow new models of living. But when
choosing the wrong mask it can also be a demasking. Role play with the intention of amusement only makes
room for being hurt and will not be able to enter the Life Ball.
