Dražen Zečić at Arena Zagreb: 12 December at 8 pm

Dražen Zečić returns to Arena Zagreb after a sold-out concert there in 2024, the Arena says (Arena Zagreb). The Saturday night falls in the Advent season, so anyone travelling in from another town can pair the concert with the Christmas markets in the city centre, which are open that day. Arena Zagreb stands at Ulica Vice Vukova 8 in Lanište, in the south-west of Zagreb.

Tickets and prices on Upad

Tickets are sold by Upad.hr, and the organiser is The Unique d.o.o., according to Upad. Sales have been open since March 2026. On 8 November eight categories were on offer and none was marked as sold out. The cheapest seat is on the upper stand at €25, the most expensive is the VIP box at €100. Upad adds a fee of €1.50 to every ticket.

Seats are chosen on the Upad seating plan. Four tickets with fees cost €106 on the upper stand, €126 in the Fan Pit and €134 on the lower stand. Children up to 6 get in free, Upad says, but they have no seat of their own and sit on a parent's lap. Wheelchair users also enter free but need their own ticket, which Upad issues on request by email with proof of disability; their companion pays the full price.

Start, finish and doors

The concert starts on Saturday 12 December 2026 at 8 pm, according to Upad, which lists 11 pm as the finish. By 8 November neither the Arena nor Upad had published a time for doors opening or named any guests or support act. The Arena promises a full stage set and special effects for the night.

The songs of the night

Among the songs the Arena names are Boem u duši, Nitko nema dva života, Govore mi mnogi ljudi, Pokidat ću lance sve, Stani srce and Ima li nade za nas (Arena Zagreb). Anyone who wants to hear him a second time this winter can do so in Dubrovnik: on New Year's Day, 1 January 2027, Zečić plays on the Stradun as part of the Advent u Gradu programme (Advent in Dubrovnik).

By tram, bus or car on a Saturday night

Trams 7 and 14 run to the Savski gaj-rotor stop, a 10-minute walk from the hall, the Arena says (Arena Zagreb: getting there). Line 14 comes via Trg bana Jelačića, line 7 via the bus station. Bus 234 leaves the main railway station every 25 minutes and stops at Arena Zagreb in front of the hall.

On the way back, the last tram 14 towards Mihaljevac passes Savski gaj-rotor between 23:20 and 23:45, depending on the day (ZET). If the concert ends at 11 pm as listed, that leaves 20 to 45 minutes for the 10-minute walk. Drivers park east of the hall at Lidl, west in the car park and garage of the Arena Centar shopping centre, or north at Plodine. Spaces inside the Arena complex are reserved for VIP ticket holders and organisers (Arena Zagreb: parking).

An Advent Saturday in Zagreb

Advent in Zagreb runs from 28 November 2026 to 7 January 2027, with free entry to the squares and parks (Advent in Zagreb). Tram 14 runs from Trg bana Jelačića straight to Savski gaj-rotor, so an afternoon at the markets fits before the show. The same evening at 8 pm, UCB Ballet dances The Nutcracker at Lisinski; that performance was sold out on 7 November (The Nutcracker at Lisinski).

A week earlier, on 4 and 5 December, Željko Joksimović sings at the Arena; Severina follows on 15 December and Miroslav Škoro on 19 December (Željko Joksimović at Arena Zagreb, Severina at Arena Zagreb). Trains, buses and places to stay for a weekend in the capital are on Advent weekend in Zagreb.
