To ensure that all visitors feel comfortable at our small festival, we have put together some tips in the form of questions and answers.

Tickets

I bought a ticket in advance. When do I get them?

The tickets that you can buy in advance through our website are online tickets that you can print out yourself. Once we have received and processed your payment, you will receive an email with a download link for each ticket.
Please print out your car/WoMo/Van/Bulli tickets and put them on the dashboard where you can see them when you arrive.

There are no more advance tickets available. Is there a waiting list?

No, unfortunately we cannot offer a waiting list. If you still want tickets now, you should check our online shop regularly to see if there are still a few remaining tickets. Much luck!

Are there tickets available on site?

If the festival is not already sold out in advance, tickets are available at the day/evening box office. Current information is available on our Facebook page.

Unfortunately I can’t come. Can I resell my ticket?

Yes, you can offer your card on our Facebook page at cost price. Offers that are more expensive will be deleted by us immediately.

“But he doesn’t do anything and he’s good” exceptions are not made.

Can I bring alcohol?

You may consume your own alcohol in the parking and tent areas. You can buy beer etc. at the festival site. All bags will be checked upon entry.

Is there food and drink on site?

There are various food and drink stands on the festival site.

On Saturday mornings there is a (limited) breakfast offer from 09:30 to 12:00. Coffee, tea, cocoa, wholemeal or wheat rolls as well as sausage, cheese, vegetables, jam, nut nougat spread, spreads and vegan/vegetarian alternatives are offered while stocks last.
The whole thing runs according to the folk kitchen principle: drinks/food against donation and please wash the cups yourself.
Outside of this time, the self-sufficiency principle applies.

I like to carve. May I bring my knife?

Please leave weapons of any kind (cutting, stabbing, fire, etc.) at home.
This will also be checked and confiscated at the entrance to the festival site.

Can I bring confetti cannons?

Confetti cannons are not permitted on the festival, camping or park grounds. We don’t want to have to pick these leftovers from our meadows for the rest of the year.

Who’s playing this year?

We do not announce band names in advance. Every band that performs at the weekend is a surprise.

Can I sleep in my car?

Yes, it is possible to stay overnight in a car, caravan, mobile home, camper or van at the campsite.
(If the roof tent of your car exceeds the dimensions of your car, please book a WoMo/Van/Bulli ticket.)

May I have a barbecue, make a campfire or light torches on the campsite?

Open fire is not permitted due to the increased risk of forest fires and the requirements of the public order office. Unfortunately, grilling is also included here.
Our security personnel will extinguish any fire immediately.
campinCookers: may not be operated on the floor due to the risk of fire. They may be operated in your own camping vehicle and on the table under constant supervision.
