Grand Meeting FAQ

Due to a safety concept required by the authorities, there will be a maximum number of visitors per day in 2026. Online advance sales allow demand to be monitored early on each day; if demand is high, this will be indicated. Days may actually be sold out in advance. Tiered pricing makes early purchases even more attractive.

If possible, buy tickets in advance: this reduces waiting times and is cheaper than buying them at the box office. Online tickets are available as PDF/QR codes or for your smartphone wallet. Tickets are also checked at the entrance – the ‘fast lane’ works best with a ticket.

PayPal and credit cards (VISA, AMEX, Mastercard) are accepted in the online shop. Apple Pay works with Safari, Google Pay appears with Chrome (logged-in Google account). Prepayment with instant payment is also possible. Tickets come as QR codes (PDF) or in wallet format.
