General questions

Can I buy individual tickets for sold-out days?

If a day is sold out, we unfortunately cannot issue any further tickets for the time being, even if it is only for a few people. We may be able to release additional capacity later. This depends on the first few days on which the market is open, as we can then better assess whether we can accommodate more visitors. If there are no more tickets available for your preferred date, you can put your name on the waiting list via.

What is included in the ticket price?

The ticket price includes admission, all drinks and all food. You can view the food and drink selection here. Curling, log nailing and all additional entertainment can also be used free of charge.

 

What is included in the VIP ticket?

In addition to faster admission, the VIP ticket also includes access to the heated VIP tent. The tent has plenty of seating and its own mulled wine and drinks station. The food of your choice is available at the Christmas market. For groups of 10 or more tickets, we will automatically reserve contiguous tables for you in the VIP tent.

Is the Christmas market open to the public or is there a box office?

Admission to the Christmas market is only possible with a valid advance booking ticket. There is no box office, tickets can only be purchased online. Tickets are limited per day so that we can adhere to our hygiene concept and all guests can enjoy their visit without long waiting times.

How long is the Christmas market open?

There are four different admission times to keep waiting times at the individual huts as short as possible. The admission times start at 5.00 pm, 6.00 pm, 7.00 pm and 8.00 pm. At weekends, there are no tickets for the 8.00 p.m. admission time and a smaller ticket contingent.

Is vegetarian/vegan/gluten-free food also available?

We do not have any special gluten-free food on offer, but people with coeliac disease should also find what they are looking for here. You can find an overview of the dishes on our Food & Drinks page.

Is there heated seating available to warm up?

As a general rule, we are not using radiant heaters in the area this year. They will only be used for our employees in the food and drinks huts, as the heat can be kept in more effectively there. In addition, there are a number of fireplaces dotted around the event area where you can warm up if necessary. As a general rule, it is winter and a Christmas market naturally takes place outside, so always make sure you wear warm clothing.

 

Is the Christmas market barrier-free?

Yes, but with some restrictions. Please note that there are some old rails and cable bridges on the site, which can be an obstacle depending on the type of mobility aid. Barrier-free toilets are available in the Spreespeicher building. There will be a special entrance to provide wheelchair users with barrier-free access.

Can I bring my dog?

No, as your dog would much rather be away from noise and people. Places like Christmas markets also pose many other risks for dogs, such as unsuitable food and cigarette butts on the floor, which can be ingested and cause health problems. It can also happen that very hot drinks are spilled in the crowd and can hit the dog.

Is there mulled wine with a shot?

Yes, we also offer mulled wine with a shot for a small surcharge. However, only card payment is possible (EC or credit card).

 

Is there a left-luggage office?

No, please only bring what you absolutely need to the Christmas market, we have no way of storing your luggage and other items for the duration of your visit.

Is it possible to make an exclusive booking for the Christmas market?

Yes, the Christmas market can be booked exclusively. However, this requires a minimum number of 200 participants and a minimum turnover. As an event location, we can also offer you attractive alternatives. Please make an individual group inquiry for this.

Where can I see how many tickets are still available?

You can find an overview of how many tickets are still available on which day and in which time slot here.


 

Cancellation


Can individual tickets be returned?

As with concert tickets, it is not possible to return tickets. The reason for this is that sports, leisure and cultural events of all kinds are difficult to plan and economically viable with a two-week right of withdrawal and return. This is also the view of the legislator, which is why the Distance Selling Act expressly does not apply to a contract between you and us as the organizer for the provision of services in the field of leisure activities (Section 312 b (3) No. 6 BGB).
