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.

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. However, people up to the age of 25 can register for the TINCON programme free of charge. You can find all the information here.
Separate tickets can also be purchased for Track ID - the new club nights at Uebel & Gefährlich. All information can be found here.

What else can I do with the digital ticket?
You also have the option of sharing tickets directly with friends and/or business partners. It is not necessary for the recipients of the forwarded tickets to have a customer account with us. Your companions can also decide for themselves whether they want to save the tickets as a PDF or load them into their wallet.
Please make sure that you have your ticket with you in the wallet or as a digital PDF at the festival entrance. This email and the invoice are not valid as admission tickets.
If you have your festival or conference ticket as a PDF file, you can also show it as a mobile ticket on your 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. Conference tickets can be personalised up to 2–3 working days after ticket purchase. You will receive further information and instructions as soon as they are available.
Be sure to plan enough time for your visit to the ticket desk so that you can start the festival without any complications. We will inform you regularly about current waiting times via the festival app.
Opening hours Ticket Desk:
Wednesday to Saturday: 9:00 am – 11:00 pm
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.
We also have a very special offer for you: Our official mobility partner Flix is offering a 25% discount on FlixTrain and FlixBus journeys to the festival. The discount code is valid for journeys to and from Hamburg from 15 - 22 September 2024. Get your code here.
Elbphilharmonie
When purchasing a 4-day ticket, 3-day ticket, 2-day ticket, 1-day ticket (Friday), or conference ticket, you can choose a concert in the Elbphilharmonie (subject to availability).
Please note: The reservation is binding and cannot be cancelled, postponed, or changed!
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.
We will inform you about remaining availabilities for wristband holders with short notice on the respective festival day via push notifications in the festival app. Seating tickets can be collected from the ticket desk at Heiligengeistfeld up to two hours before the concert in the Elbphilharmonie.
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.

Festival visit
Tickets can be exchanged at the ticket desk in the Festival Village (Heiligengeistfeld). You will need your festival ticket or the ticket for trade visitors as well as your photo ID.
There is no guaranteed admission to the programme items. We recommend that you arrive at the respective location early before the start of the programme (there is no entitlement to admission). If a location is already full, you can either wait until other guests have left (our team in front of the locations and display boards will inform you about the capacities in the respective locations) or make your way to one of the many other programme items to be discovered at Reeperbahn Festival.
The capacity of our venues depends on the applicable legal regulations. You can view the capacity of the individual venues here on our website in the “locations” section.
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 is given the opportunity to enter the concert venues via a separate admission queue, the “delegates lane”. These visitors travel to the festival on business and need access to do their job, be it as a label representative, a digital distributor, a promoter, a booker, an export office, etc.
For all festival days, we implement equal admission for both groups of visitors. Please note that the delegates lane will continue to exist and – due to the total number of professionals – will generally be shorter than the public visitors’ lane.
In the event of an admission stop, the same number of people will be admitted alternately from both admission queues – that is, from the festival visitor lane and the delegate lane – according to the “one out / one in principle”.
Occasionally, people from the festival team (such as social media reporters, photographers / videographers, production staff, etc.) or press representatives may have priority access after the start of the show in order to fulfil their duties on site. Thank you for your understanding.
The following services are included in the conference ticket:
- Access to the conference programme (sessions, networking, awards)
- Access to the public programme (concerts; showcases; art, film, and literature programme; etc. depending on the capacity of the locations)
- Access to the Reeperbahn Festival Lounge with a Delegates Bar
- Access to the password-protected Delegates Database
- A limited number of invitations to the Reeperbahn Festival Opening (while supplies last)
SESSIONS: The session programme consists of talks, panels, keynote presentations, additional presentations, and workshops. High-ranking international speakers address the topics of the music industry and its submarkets.
SHOWCASES: Labels, partners, and music export offices present their new and up-and-coming artists at Reeperbahn Festival, which completes the curated concert programme.
NETWORKING: The networking programme offers the opportunity to make contact with international representatives from the music and digital creative industries. The central location for business meetings and receptions is the Reeperbahn Festival Lounge in the ARCOTEL Onyx. Our partners also host parties, get-togethers, and dinners in many nearby Reeperbahn venues.
You can carry bags and backpacks up to a size of 210 x 297 mm (corresponding to DIN A4).
As in previous years, there will be a central bag room in the Festival Village at Heiligengeistfeld. You can leave your bags there for a fee of €2–3 per day. For logistical reasons, most venues will not have a bag room, so having few or no bags is an advantage.
Please be sure to observe the glass bottle ban at Reeperbahn, which is in effect from
Friday evening at 10:00 pm to Saturday morning at 6:00 am
and from
Saturday evening at 10:00 pm to Sunday morning at 6:00 am.
Opening hours: Bag room
Wednesday to Saturday: 9:00 am – 2:00 am (the following day)
We recommend that you just go with the flow of the festival and not plan too meticulously. There is a lot to discover, and it is worth checking out unknown venues, getting to know new acts, and visiting the art programme as well as the Festival Village.
In the Festival Village and at Spielbudenplatz, you can soak up the Reeperbahn Festival atmosphere during the day and prepare for the festival days with a Fritz Limo in the sun. In the Festival Village, you can enjoy to the Arts Playground with art exhibitions and dance performances as well as a skate area where you can practise your skateboarding skills and marvel at the skills of the pros in shows. Up-and-coming acts play on the fritzkola stage every day from 4:00 pm and on Saturday from 2:00 pm, and we also have the NJOY Reeperbus on site. You can also look forward to our Village Acoustics - together with the Acoustics Concerts, we will bring 30-minute acoustic sets from local newcomers to established artists to the Festival Village on the Haspa Trailer in the Festival Village and there will be a fine selection of free concerts every evening in the Hangar!
Reeperbahn Festival has also proudly hosted the Flatstock Poster Convention for many years, where you can buy great screen prints by artists who have put their favourite bands on paper.
Opening hours: Festival Village
Wednesday to Thursday: 09:00 am - 10:00 pm
Friday & Saturday: 11:00 am - 10:00 pm
If you prefer a more relaxed atmosphere during the day, we recommend our film programme at the 3001 Kino (“3001 Cinema”) on Saturday afternoon:
With This Town, we take you to the explosive music scene in Birmingham in the 80s. Politically charged, the film focuses on the music scene that existed between ska, two tone, and punk, garnished with a strong soundtrack.
In the multi-award-winning series 30 Tage Lust (“30 Days of Lust”), a couple dare to experiment with love in order to breath fresh life into their long-standing relationship via 30 days of sex with whomever they want. The series provides a look at love, sex, and tenderness in the 2020s.
In cooperation with ARD Kultur, we have selected our highlighted episodes of the terrific Szene Report for our film programme and will have exclusive insights into the first recordings for Season 3. The screenings will be followed by a Q&A with the cast and crew.
On Wednesday and Thursday, young people will have the opportunity to gain insights into the music industry by attending talks, discussions, workshops, and DIY stations on current topics relating to pop, politics, and digital music with the TINCON youth conference programme and the Music People Talks format in the Festival Village.
From Thursday to Saturday, re:publica Hamburg will take place during the day in the Reeperbahn Festival Village with discussions, talks, workshops, performances, and more.
Even though our festival takes place in the middle of the city between clubs and the Reeperbahn, we are all responsible for the waste we produce. Therefore, let’s work together to produce as little waste as possible and dispose of it in the appropriate bins. Our environment concerns us all!
Arrival: Use public transport, the bike or come to Reeperbahn Festival walking. Reeperbahn Festival is easily reachable and offers many environmentally friendly travel options, e.g. via underground (St. Pauli stop) and S-Bahn (Reeperbahn stop) or with our Flix offer: Our official mobility partner Flix offers a 25% discount for journeys to the festival with FlixTrain and FlixBus. The discount code is valid for journeys to and from Hamburg from 15 - 22 September 2024. Get your code here.
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 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.
You can identify our team by their crew shirts at the festival, and our staff at the info desk are always available to answer any questions you may have. You can also contact us via our social media channels.
Please understand that we will be busier during certain events. However, we will endeavour to respond as quickly as possible. We are also happy to receive your feedback after the festival via our visitor survey.
We look forward to a festival that is all about togetherness. Racism, sexism, homophobia, and the disregard for the personal boundaries of others have no place here.
Together with Act-Aware e.V., we are developing a comprehensive awareness concept, which we can inform you about here on our website.
