What's the ticket cost?
The festival hasn't sold out yet. A day pass (without camping) sets you back around 129 euros at the time of this writing. The full-blown festival ticket, granting access to all stages, campsite, and festival ambiance, goes for around 289 euros this year.
For those seeking a more tranquil camping experience, the "Green Living" festival pass could be the way to go with the camping etiquette being the top priority. But don't forget, there's a 15 euro parking fee for cars. Separate parking areas are designated for campers, vans, or buses, each with specific fees.
How do I get there?
Festival-goers avoiding a drive can hop on a train—the train stops in Tuttlingen, with shuttle buses running approximately every 15 minutes to the site according to festival information. You can also book an extra bus service online from various cities including Stuttgart, Ulm, Augsburg, Munich, Karlsruhe, Freiburg, and Tübingen, including luggage.

- Tent, sleeping bag, and air mattress are essential for a comfortable stay.
- Power bank for phones, sunscreen, water bottle, hygiene items, earplugs, and camping accessories like duct tape and tent lock for minor repairs and securing your spot. A tow rope for the car might also prove handy, especially during muddy conditions.
