The festival grounds are located in nature, surrounded by meadows and forests that are used for agriculture. Therefore, preserving the environment is our top priority. We’ve implemented various sustainability methods, including:

• Waste deposit system: Ensures that every inch of the festival and camping area is free of waste at the end
• Green Camping: A waste-free zone supported by waste separation containers and monitored by staff
• Efficient water usage: Thanks to a closed-loop system for hygiene facilities
• Eco-friendly measures: All food and drink stands use only reusable or compostable products
• Shuttle buses: Available from Puschendorf station, promoting train travel

However, the most important part of sustainability is you. Be part of our project by minimizing packaging waste and separating and disposing of waste properly.

What’s a festival without the people? Each year, around 90,000 visitors from various nations come together to celebrate their love for electronic music with national and international artists and newcomers. Every individual is important to us, whether visitors, artists, staff, or emergency personnel. With so many people, it’s vital to celebrate peacefully and harmoniously, respecting each other. Please treat others as you’d expect to be treated.

You will receive access to your MyTicket portal with the order confirmation by email.

Only after personalization, you can download your ticket in the MyTicket portal.

Repersonalization of your ticket is possible at any time in the MyTicket portal. A fee of €10 will be charged for this.

• First and last name

Your old ticket will then be deactivated and you will receive the new one. You can then download it in your MyTicket portal. Please note that it can take 7-10 working days for everything to be processed.

Parking tickets
You can purchase parking tickets in advance as an additional item in the second order step or subsequently in the MyTicket portal. The parking tickets are valid for the general parking area. A distinction is made between Day Parking and Weekend Parking. Spending the night in the parking lot (in the car) is strictly prohibited.

The parking lot and the campsite are located next to each other, so the walk from the car to the campsite entrance is limited to a maximum of 5 minutes.

Car Camping
With the Car Camping Pass you are allowed to park your vehicle, no matter if car, camper, caravan or trailer directly on the camping site. One Car Camping Pass is required per motorized vehicle (e.g. car + caravan = 1). Each occupant of the vehicle also needs a weekend ticket. Multiple entry and exit to the Car Camping site is not possible.

You are allowed to set up an additional tent next to your vehicle. Every person who wants to spend the night on the Car Camping site needs an additional camping pass. The Car Camping Ticket is only valid for the vehicle and not for the persons.

Please pay attention to the signs “Access Car Camping” when you arrive.

Since February 2023, our tickets can also be purchased as hard tickets.

There will be no box office on site. All tickets can only be purchased online via Tickets. If not all tickets are sold out before the festival, they can still be purchased online in the ticket shop on the day of the festival, but at a higher price.

All tickets are non-refundable.

The resale of tickets is only possible via the TicketPay MyTicket portal. Resale via other platforms such as TicketSwap, classified ads and others is not possible because the e-mail address is not changed via these platforms and therefore the ticket cannot be repersonalized.

Selling to strangers

The easiest way to resell your ticket is through TicketPay’s official resale shop. There you can offer your ticket for sale, you don’t have to look for a buyer and you don’t have to worry about the payment. As soon as the ticket has been sold and the money has arrived at TicketPay, TicketPay will transfer the amount to your specified bank account.

To do this, follow these steps:

1. Go to the MyTicket portal
2. Click the “To the ticket” button
3. Right on “Resell ticket”
4. Select ticket
5. Click on “Resell”.
6. Fill in the data and click on “Start resale”.

Example:

Selling or giving to friends

If you have a specific person who should get your ticket, then you have to re-personalize the ticket accordingly in the MyTicket portal. Please note that the person will then not be able to book any additional items, since access to the MyTicket portal will still be via your e-mail address.

Fees resale before personalization: 12.5% ​​of the original purchase price

Fees resale after personalization: 12.5% ​​plus 10 euros re-personalization fee

ATTENTION: Won Tickets can not be passed on or re-personalized.

Third Party Purchase

Please never buy a ticket via other platforms such as TicketSwap, classified ads or other platforms, as the risk of fraud is extremely high there. In addition, the name on the ticket is not changed on other sales platforms and is therefore not repersonalized to you. This will not give you access to the festival as the name on the ticket does not match the name on your ID. In addition, you do not have the option of buying additional items afterwards.
