Reeperbahn Festival

Festival tickets for the public programme are available as 1-, 2-, 3-, or 4-day tickets. These tickets give you access to concerts, shows, and parties as well as to numerous programme events in the exhibition and talk areas and to our programme events that are specifically aimed at young people in the music industry.

If you have any questions, please contact our ticket service via email at Tickets-Festival@reeperbahnfestival.com. For trade visitors, please contact Tickets-Conference@reeperbahnfestival.com.

Tickets for the festival are available in our official online ticketshop (subject to availability).

You can also purchase tickets during the festival via our online shop (subject to availability). 

Tickets for trade visitors are available before and during the festival in the online shop (subject to availability). 

Please note that tickets purchased via platforms other than our ticket shop may be invalid. Tickets from secondary markets – which are often offered there at inflated prices – are frequently counterfeit or already blocked and therefore do not guarantee admission.

Tickets for individual concerts or individual programme items are not available. 

People with a pass with the B mark for the severely disabled are entitled to take a companion with them free of charge. We kindly ask that you send an email with the relevant documentation to tickets-festival@reeperbahnfestival.com. Further information can be found here. 

There is no discount for children or teenagers.

The respective legal provisions for the protection of minors apply to our event. We would like to expressly point out that admission is not within our control. It is possible for minors to be denied entry to a club at Reeperbahn, especially late at night. Please bear this in mind when purchasing a ticket. 

Items such as student IDs or written permission from a parent or guardian are generally not accepted for granting admission. 

§5 from the Protection of Young Persons Act: Concerning dance events 

Children and teenagers under the age of 16 are not allowed to attend public dance events without being accompanied by a person with parental responsibility or guardianship, and teenagers aged 16 and over are only allowed attend until midnight at the latest.

If you have forgotten your login details, you can reset your password here in the login area.

Please make sure that you have your ticket with you as a digital PDF when you enter the festival. This e-mail and the invoice are not valid as admission tickets.

You can also show your print@home festival or conference ticket as a mobile ticket on your cell phone. It is therefore not necessary to print out the ticket. 

The Reeperbahn Festival ticket does not need to be personalised. Personalisation is only required for conference ticket holders.

This year, the Reeperbahn Festival ticket is not valid for public transport. We recommend that you find out about the various ticket options offered by the Hamburger Verkehrsverbund (HVV). The HVV offers a variety of tickets, including single tickets, day and weekly tickets as well as group tickets, which allow you to travel to and from the festival in comfort. You can find more information on the HVV website or at the points of sale.  

Elbphilharmonie will once again be a venue for Reeperbahn Festival 2025 and will host two concerts on 19 September.

We will publish the artists performing at the Elbphilharmonie on our website in spring 2025. To ensure that as many Reeperbahn Festival ticket holders as possible can attend a concert in the Elbphilharmonie, we are working with a reservation system until the acts are announced. All ticket holders will also receive more detailed information on this in spring 2025.

The concerts in the Elbphilharmonie are part of the festival programme and can only be reserved in combination with a festival ticket. Seating in the Elbphilharmonie is limited and the purchase of a festival ticket does not entitle the holder to attend a specific concert in the Elbphilharmonie. Seats in the concert hall are allocated on a first-come-first-served basis without fixed seat allocation.

No. Unfortunately, only one concert in the Elbphilharmonie can be selected per conference ticket, 4-day ticket, 3-day ticket, 2-day ticket, or 1-day ticket (Friday). 

For admission to a pre-booked concert in the Elbphilharmonie, you must exchange the voucher you have received or the ticket you have purchased for a physical ticket for the Elbphilharmonie at the ticket desk in the Festival Village at Heiligengeistfeld up to two hours before the start of the concert. 

Please note that tickets cannot be exchanged at the Elbphilharmonie.

During Reeperbahn Festival, there is free seating for concerts in the Elbphilharmonie. You have to exchange the digital voucher that you received via email in advance for a physical ticket for the Elbphilharmonie at the ticket desk at Heiligengeistfeld and then collect your festival wristband. This ticket does not include a seat assignment, so you can choose your seat directly in the Elbphilharmonie when you enter the main hall. Therefore, it pays to be early so you can get a good seat. 

Please note: Without the physical ticket and a valid Reeperbahn Festival wristband, admission to the concerts in the Elbphilharmonie cannot be granted.

You are allowed to leave the hall during a concert, but we ask that you exercise caution and use the applause breaks to avoid disturbing the artists on stage as well as the other visitors. The acoustics in the hall are very sensitive, and we want all visitors and artists to have an unforgettable concert experience. Please also note that we cannot guarantee re-entry to the hall during the event.

Wednesday, 17.09.2025 to Saturday 20.09.2025 daily 09 a.m. - 11 p.m.

We strive to make Reeperbahn Festival as sustainable as possible and to continuously improve in this regard.  In doing so, we refer to the 17 Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations, in particular gender equality, fewer inequalities and sustainable consumption and production.   

 
Gender equality  

As a partner of the Keychange initiative, we are aiming for a 50% FINTA+ quota in all programme segments by 2025. By signing the Keychange Pledge, we have set ourselves the goal of promoting more women, intersex, trans and non-binary people in the line-up. In 2024, we will also track the proportion by which male and female speakers speak at the conference for the first time. Internally, we use a guideline for gender-inclusive language to ensure more inclusive communication. 

Fewer inequalities  

We endeavour to make the festival as accessible as possible. As we use various rented locations, we assess their accessibility individually, more on this here. We offer easy language on the website and subtitles in videos on social media to make the content accessible. Our app offers customisable font sizes for Android and iOS via the device settings. All information about accessibility on the website can be found here. Together with KulturLeben Hamburg e.V., we enable people with low incomes to access the festival. There are also numerous free events. With our awareness concept, we want to create a safer space for everyone. We also offer childcare and parent quiet rooms for professional visitors, artists and staff. 

Sustainable consumption and production:  

We obtain the electricity for the Festival Village from a certified green electricity provider and present the carbon footprints of selected venues at our conference.  

Our artist and crew catering is exclusively vegan and vegetarian in order to minimise our ecological footprint. We also promote climate-friendly travel by providing bicycle parking spaces. We hire transport vehicles locally and use cargo bikes for short journeys.  

We largely avoid printing on paper; where unavoidable, we use sustainable materials for posters, business cards, advertising materials and much more. 

In addition to our own specific measures, we address sustainability issues in all areas of the programme. You can find these in our festival and conference programme.   

Due to the large number of our locations, we have to assess the accessibility of each Reeperbahn Festival location individually. The following venues are wheelchair accessible, but not all of them are equipped with accessible toilets:

Alte Liebe, Chikago, Elbphilharmonie, Festival Village, Pocca Bar, Große Freiheit 36, Georg Elser Halle, Haspa Filiale, Indra, Knust, Mojo Club, Mojo Jazz Café, Molotow Club, Molotow Backyard, Nochtspeicher, Resonanzraum, Schmidts Tivoli, Schmidtchen, Sommersalon, Spielbude, St. Michaelis Kirche (church), St. Pauli Fanshop, Spielbudenplatz, Uebel und Gefährlich, 3001 Kino (cinema).
You can find wheelchair-accessible sanitary facilities in the Festival Village at Heiligengeistfeld and Spielbudenplatz.

There are also accessible toilets in Mojo Club, Schmidtchen and Resonanzraum as well as in the Elbphilharmonie and in the St. Michaelis Kirche (church).

There will be a barrier-free counter at the Ticket Desk. We also have a mobile ramp available for you, which you can obtain from the Info Desk if required.

If you have any problems or questions on site, the staff at the information desks in the Festival Village at Heiligengeistfeld and at Spielbudenplatz as well as in the clubs will be happy to help you at any time.
