Trans-Siberian Orchestra - The Ghosts Of Christmas Eve

Trans-Siberian Orchestra brings The Ghosts of Christmas Eve to Sunrise for a 7:00 PM show at Amerant Bank Arena. Here is what to know about timing, tickets, and the venue-listed charity benefit before you go.

Trans-Siberian Orchestra’s December 18 date at Amerant Bank Arena stands out because the Sunrise stop is part of the band’s 30th anniversary holiday touring year and is tied to The Ghosts of Christmas Eve. For anyone already headed to the arena, the most useful details are straightforward: showtime is 7:00 PM, doors generally open 60 to 90 minutes before that, and tickets are sold through SeatGeek. The venue also says a portion of proceeds benefits Jackson Health Foundation.

Why this show stands out

This date matters now because Trans-Siberian Orchestra is scheduled to bring The Ghosts of Christmas Eve to Sunrise on Friday, December 18, 2026, as part of its 30th anniversary holiday touring year. Amerant Bank Arena lists the show at 7:00 PM and says doors generally open 60 to 90 minutes before showtime, subject to change. The venue also notes that tickets are sold through SeatGeek and that a portion of proceeds benefits Jackson Health Foundation.
