First information can be found in the press release at the official site www.gouv.mc:

New for the 33rd edition: the organisers have scheduled an extra performance on Sunday 25th January at 6.30 p.m. bringing the total number of shows to 15! Another good piece of news, children under 12 will be entitled to half price tickets from 21st January (except for the terraces which will remain at 10 euros). More than enough to satisfy all circus fans!
