No, you don't need a ticket, admission is free.

The Burggarten itself is open to park visitors throughout the day, but admission to the event area itself is only from 18:15. The concert starts at 19:00.

It is best to use the Burggarten entrances on the Ringstrasse side or the one by the Welt-Museum. The entrances to the event area will be marked by flags.
