After four years of waiting, fans of singer Helene Fischer and other pop stars can once again look forward to the “Helene Fischer Show” on ZDF in prime time on Christmas Day this year. From 2020 to 2022, the “Helene Fischer Show” had to take a Corona break. The program for this year is already in the can: ZDF recorded the 180-minute show on December 1st and 2nd in the Düsseldorf exhibition hall – twice, each with an identical program in front of a live audience. But not all fans in the hall came back enthusiastic about the show. Some expressed strong criticism.
Helene Fischer Show: Show partly inspires fans
ZDF promised a show “with a new look and a spectacular stage design” for the broadcast on December 25, 2023. The fans can expect a varied program with lots of music, surprising duets, breathtaking artistry and very special productions, the television station said in a statement notice. In addition to Helene Fischer, Peter Maffay, Nena, Loreen, Ben Zucker, Beatrice Egli and the US band Gossip will also be heard.
After the show cancellations in recent years due to the corona pandemic, some fans were also worried this year whether they would finally get another “Helene Fischer Show” for Christmas: the singer broke her ribs in an accident in the summer and had to go to concerts therefore partially postpone their “Rausch live” tour.
On their Helene Fischer posted on the Instagram channel after the first day of recording on December 1st, a video with behind-the-scenes material to announce the show. “Dear ones, it finally starts again tonight!” she wrote to her followers. The comments under the post showed that the first live show was well received by at least some fans. “I loved it – I’m really looking forward to the broadcast,” wrote a fan. Or: “Such a great evening, it was great, emotional! I’ll be raving about it for a long time!”
Helene Fischer Show: Strong criticism of organization
But not all spectators were enthusiastic, and there was some heavy criticism. Some fans criticized the general conditions of the event. The organization “definitely could be improved,” wrote one viewer, while another comment said the evening was a “complete disaster and so disorganized.” Someone else commented that the “entire organization should be properly improved by the organizer”.
“The show was great, but the Düsseldorf trade fair was a complete chaos,” is how one fan sums up the evening surrounding the “Atemlos” singer. “It took more than 1.5 hours to even get to the parking lot. Completely overwhelmed employees and security personnel, queues of more than a hundred meters at the toilets, waiting in line for half an hour for drinks and at the cloakroom, absolute chaos when walking.”
Some fans of the hit queen, whose real name is Yelena Petrovna, criticized the high ticket prices for the seats in the exhibition hall: “The show was great, the seats for 380 were catastrophic. I saw zero, which I think is a shame,” writes an Instagram account. user. Someone else judges: “Now it’s just a rip-off of viewers.”
In fact, fans had to dig deep into their pockets to see the hit event. When tickets went on sale in the fall, criticism arose about the high ticket prices for the two recorded live shows. According to Schlager magazine schlagerpuls.com The tickets would have cost up to 399 euros. Around 90 euros were charged for seats in the side stands and 70 euros for the cheapest tickets.
Helene Fischer Show: Fans are disappointed with the program
In the comment column under Fischer’s Instagram post, some viewers also expressed disappointment and criticism of the content of the show. “Considering that there hasn’t been a show for 4 years and that it was the 10th Christmas show overall, I would have expected other guests,” said one comment.
A fan summarizes all the criticisms in a devastating comment: “That was the worst HF show in 10 years. The guest list was really modest. Helene was great as always. The choreos and the stage design were also great. However, the new stage was way too much low! If I pay 300 euros, I also want to have a view. I’m glad I didn’t get tickets for both days like I usually did,” was the conclusion.
ZDF will show the “Helene Fischer Show” on December 25th at 8:15 p.m. in the ZDF main program. According to ratings calculations, the last show at Christmas 2019 reached around 6.11 million viewers. At that time, the program was also recorded twice in front of around 10,000 viewers.
