Festival tickets Conference tickets

Tickets for the Reeperbahn Festival are available exclusively through our official online shop, even during the festival (subject to availability).

Please note that tickets purchased through platforms other than our ticket shop may be invalid. Tickets from secondary markets – which are often offered at inflated prices – are frequently counterfeit or have already been blocked and therefore no longer grant admission.

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

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

After purchasing your conference ticket, your ticket must be personalised. To do this, log in to your customer account in our ticket shop. Then, click on the ‘Reservations’ icon next to ‘My Account’ in the top right-hand corner. Select ‘Personalisation’ by ticking the box in the top right-hand corner. Proceed to checkout and click on ‘Continue to shipping and payment method’. Select the ‘Personalisation’ shipping method there. Fill in the personalisation details for each ticket. Continue with the review, and complete the personalisation. You will then receive a confirmation email with an overview of your order and can access your conference ticket in your account.

Please note: The ticket is only valid once the personalisation has been completed. Personalisation must be completed before check-in.

If you have your festival or conference ticket as a PDF file, you can also show it as a mobile ticket on your mobile phone. It is therefore not necessary to print out the ticket.

With the Reeperbahn Festival wristband – as well as with the Delegate Badge for conference visitors – you will have access to all programme items for which your respective ticket is valid. Admission to the venues is only possible with a wristband – or for conference visitors, with a wristband and a badge. Important: Your digital or printed ticket alone is not sufficient!

You can exchange your ticket for a wristband or a badge at the ticket desk in the Festival Village at Heiligengeistfeld. Please bring your valid ticket and photo ID with you.

Please wear your wristband or badge in a clearly visible position throughout the festival.

Be sure to allow enough time for your visit to the ticket desk so that you can start the festival in a relaxed manner. We will keep you regularly informed about current waiting times via the festival app.

Opening hours: Ticket desk:
Wednesday – Saturday: 9:00 AM – 11:00 PM

There is no guaranteed admission to the programme events. We recommend that you arrive at the respective location in good time before the start (there is no entitlement to admission). If a location is already full, you have the option of either waiting until other guests leave or using the capacity indicator in the Reeperbahn Festival app to find out about the capacity of the other locations.

There are no discounts for children or minors.

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

Student ID cards, written permission from a parent or guardian, etc. are generally not accepted.

§5 Dance events JuSchG

Children and minors under the age of 16 are not permitted to attend public dance events unaccompanied by a parent or guardian, and minors aged 16 and over are only permitted to attend until midnight at the latest.

Holders of a pass for the severely disabled marked with the letter ‘B’ are entitled to bring an accompanying person free of charge. Please send an email with the relevant proof to tickets-festival@reeperbahnfestival.com or to tickets-conference@reeperbahnfestival.com. 

For further questions, you can reach us via email at: inclusion@reeperbahnfestival.com

No, the Reeperbahn Festival ticket is not valid for public transport. Please use the services offered by the Hamburg Transport Association (HVV).

We recommend travelling by public transport or bicycle. It’s sustainable, uncomplicated, and fast.

For your trip to Hamburg, you can use our exclusive 25% discount voucher for FlixTrain or FlixBus. Valid for trips from September 15 to 22.

The nearest underground and suburban railway stations are:

Underground: U3 St. Pauli

Suburban railway: Reeperbahn

Yes, bicycle stands from our bicycle room are available at the Festival Village near the St. Pauli underground station among other places. There are also bicycle stands throughout St. Pauli, which are of course also available for your use.

Reeperbahn Festival covers the entire neighbourhood around the Reeperbahn. Central locations include Heiligengeistfeld, Spielbudenplatz, and numerous clubs, bars, and theatres. However, the Elbphilharmonie, Knust, and Uebel & Gefährlich in the air-raid shelter on Feldstraße are also part of the festival. The Reeperbahn Festival Conference takes place at the East Hotel. A list of all locations can be found in the Reeperbahn Festival app and here on our website.

We can provide offers from Lufthansa and Deutsche Bahn for all visitors to the Reeperbahn Festival Conference. You can find all the information here.

When purchasing a 4-day ticket, a 3-day ticket, a 2-day ticket, a 1-day ticket for the festival day on Friday, or a conference ticket, you can select a concert at the Elbphilharmonie (subject to availability).

Please note: Reservations are binding and cannot be cancelled, rescheduled, or changed!

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

We will provide information about remaining tickets for wristband holders at short notice on the respective festival day via push notifications in the Reeperbahn Festival app. Seated tickets can be collected up to two hours before the concert at the Elbphilharmonie concert hall from the ticket desk at Heiligengeistfeld.

To gain admission to a pre-booked concert at the Elbphilharmonie, you must exchange the voucher you received or the ticket you purchased for a hard ticket for the Elbphilharmonie at the ticket desk in the Festival Village at Heiligengeistfeld no later than two hours before the concert begins.

Please note that tickets cannot be exchanged at the Elbphilharmonie.

You must exchange the digital voucher you received in advance by email for a hard ticket for the Elbphilharmonie at the ticket desk at Heiligengeistfeld. You can also pick up your festival wristband there. The ticket does not include a seat assignment, so you can choose your seat directly in the Elbphilharmonie when you enter the main hall. It is therefore worth arriving early to get good seats.

Please note: Without a hard ticket and a valid Reeperbahn Festival wristband, you will not be granted access to the concerts at the Elbphilharmonie.

Admission to concerts at the Elbphilharmonie begins one hour before the concert starts. We advise you to head there well in advance. The walk to the Elbphilharmonie takes around 30 minutes from both Spielbudenplatz and the Festival Village.

You may leave the hall during the concert, but we ask you to be considerate and to use the applause breaks so as not to disturb the artists on stage or the other visitors. The acoustics in the hall are highly sensitive, and we want all the visitors and artists to have an unforgettable concert experience. 

Please also note that we cannot guarantee re-admission to the hall during the event.

The capacity of our venues is subject to the applicable legal regulations. You can view the capacities of the individual venues in the Reeperbahn Festival app here on our website under ‘Locations’.
 

In addition to the public part of the festival, Reeperbahn Festival is the largest European platform for the music industry and welcomes a large number of professionals every year. With their conference ticket, this group of visitors has the opportunity to enter the concert venues via a separate entrance queue: the ‘Delegate Lane’. These individuals are attending the festival on business and need access in order to do their job, be it as label representatives, digital distributors, promoters, bookers, export agents, etc.

We will implement equal admission for both visitor groups on all festival days. Please note that the Delegate Lane will continue to exist and – due to the total number of professionals – will generally be shorter than the lane for public visitors.

In the event of an admission freeze, the same number of people will be admitted alternately from both admission queues – that is, the festival visitors and the attendees in the Delegate Lane – according to the one-out/one-in principle.

In some cases, members of the festival team (such as social media reporters, photographers or videographers, production staff, etc.) or members of the press may be given preferential admission even after the show has begun in order to be able to carry out their work on site. Thank you for your understanding.

You may carry bags and backpacks up to a size of 210 x 297 mm (equivalent to DIN A4).

As in previous years, there will be a central luggage room in the Festival Village at Heiligengeistfeld. You can leave your bags there for a fee of € 2–3 per day. For logistical reasons, there will be no cloakrooms at most venues, so it is advisable to bring little or no luggage.

Dogs are not permitted in the Festival Village, unless they are assistance dogs.

Please note the ban on glass beverage containers:

On all public roads, paths, and squares in the Reeperbahn area, at Hans-Albers-Platz, and in the surrounding streets as well as in the Reeperbahn suburban railway station, the carrying and sale of glass beverage containers is prohibited at certain times.

In the Reeperbahn area:

• Friday: 10:00 PM – 6:00 AM
• Saturday: 10:00 PM – 6:00 AM
• Sunday: 10:00 PM – 6:00 AM

In the Hansaplatz area:

• every day from 5:00 PM to 6:00 AM

Opening hours Luggage room:
Wednesday to Saturday: 9:00 AM – 2:00 AM the following day
 

Appropriate checks will be carried out by security personnel upon entry to the event venues. Such checks may also be carried out at random during the event to ensure everyone’s safety. If you refuse to leave behind any items that – in our reasonable opinion – may cause danger or disruption to the artists, to other participants, or to visitors of the event or that are not permitted under the venue’s house rules, we may refuse you entry to the festival or to individual venues. We accept no liability for these items left behind and will not store them for you.

Prohibited items include (among other things):

• any containers such as backpacks and suitcases larger than H44 x W37 x D30 cm (approx. DIN A4)
• beverages and liquids of any kind
• glass, helmets, masks (with the exception of commercially available face masks worn as a hygiene measure), or other items used to conceal the face
• firearms, cutting weapons, stabbing weapons, and other weapons of any kind
• saws, axes, hatchets, and similar tools
• fireworks, sparklers, flare candles, and other pyrotechnic items of all kinds (including Bengal fires)
• gas bottles, deodorant sprays, hairsprays, pepper sprays
• drugs and illegal substances of any kind
• recording devices: professional audio, photo, and video equipment is prohibited; exceptions may be made with the organiser’s permission
• in concert venues: notebooks, tablets, computers, laser pointers, and other electronic devices with the exception of mobile phones, small cameras, and watches
• bulky items of any kind, such as ladders, chairs, seating (such as polystyrene cubes), flagpoles, umbrellas, camping equipment, selfie sticks
• drums, vuvuzelas, and other mechanical or electronic devices for generating noise
• texts, images, and other materials with discriminatory, inhuman, obscene, pornographic, and/or racist content or content that reveals information that infringes on the personal rights of third parties

We recommend that you go with the flow at the festival and not plan too meticulously. There is a lot to discover, and it’s worth checking out unknown venues, getting to know new acts, and visiting the art programme and the Festival Village. To make sure you don’t miss your favourite acts and programme items and to keep track of the line-up, you can save them as favourites in the Reeperbahn Festival app. The app reminds you of upcoming events well in advance and also serves as a practical navigation aid during the festival.

Should particular weather conditions pose a risk to the life, limb, or health of visitors, artists, or staff, individual events of the Reeperbahn Festival will be cancelled immediately. In this case – as well as in the event of the cancellation of individual events for other reasons of extreme violence or due to official orders or court decisions – there shall be no entitlement to reimbursement or compensation.

In the event of programme changes, the cancellation of individual events, or the removal of individual venues or individual programme items, you shall have no claims against us as long as the overall character of the festival remains unchanged in accordance with our General Terms and Conditions. Delays and postponements of individual programme items are to be accepted within the framework of the Reeperbahn Festival and the Reeperbahn Festival Conference. We will announce any changes immediately at www.reeperbahnfestival.com.

If you encounter any problems or have any questions on site, the staff at the info 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. You can also contact us via email at inclusion@reeperbahnfestival.com
 

Our offerings at Spielbudenplatz – including the Spielbude XL programme and NJOY-Reeperbus – are free of charge. In addition to the Flatstock Poster Convention and concerts on the fritz-kola stage, the Acoustic Stage, the Mopo Bus, and at other venues, the Festival Village offers a variety of exciting exhibitions and interactive programme items at the Arts Playground, which you can visit free of charge.

Together with Act-Aware e.V. and L’Unità Security, we are developing an awareness concept, which we inform you about here on our website.

You can recognise our team by their crew shirts at the festival. Our staff at the info desk are available to answer any questions you may have. You can also contact us via our social media channels.

Please understand that the volume of enquiries will be higher during the event, and we will endeavour to respond as quickly as possible. We look forward to receiving your feedback after the festival via our visitor survey.

We look forward to a festival characterised by togetherness. Racism, sexism, queerphobia, and the violation of personal boundaries have no place here – in keeping with this year’s motto, ‘Imagine Togetherness!’
