In theory, yes, we sell a fixed number of tickets for each day. This year, however, the festival will again be held in a large area, so the chances are small in practice. In case of very high demand, it might happen on Friday or Saturday, the two most visited days. It is advisable to either buy tickets in advance for these days or arrive at the venue on time.

Box offices close one hour before the end of the event every day, so you can buy a ticket on the spot, or redeem your pre-purchased ticket until then. Of course, with a valid wristband, you can enter the festival unlimited times during the entire opening hours.

Children under the age of 14 can attend the festival for free.

Tourist access to the Castle between September 7 and 10 is not possible, only organizers, festival visitors and exhibitors are allowed to enter. During the festival’s opening hours, entry is only possible with a valid entry ticket to the event.
