FAQ's
Does my admission ticket include free local public transport?
In recent years, EuroBLECH tickets have not included free travel on the GVH local transport network. Visitors are typically required to purchase separate tram or S-Bahn tickets (approx. $4 per trip) or a "EuroBLECH Travel Card" for unlimited rides during the fair week. Always check the fine print on your 2026 digital ticket for the latest transport inclusions.
Can I buy tickets at the entrance on the day of the event?
EuroBLECH has moved toward a "Digital First" policy. While there may be limited assistance desks at the entrance, it is highly recommended (and often cheaper) to purchase your e-ticket online before arrival. Digital tickets are scanned via mobile devices or printed barcodes for touchless entry into the exhibition halls.
Are children or students allowed to visit EuroBLECH?
As EuroBLECH is a specialized trade fair focusing on heavy industrial machinery and workplace safety, it is generally not suitable for children under 16. However, students of relevant engineering and technical disciplines are encouraged to attend and can usually purchase reduced-rate tickets. Proof of student status must be presented at the gate.
Is the venue accessible for visitors with limited mobility?
Yes, the Hannover Exhibition Grounds are fully accessible. Most halls are at ground level, and elevators are available in multi-story areas. Wheelchairs and electric scooters can be rented from the "Fair Clinic" (Messe-Sanitätsstation) near the North entrance, though advance reservation is strongly advised due to high demand during EuroBLECH.
What is the best way to avoid traffic jams when driving to the fair?
The "NUNAV" traffic management app is officially recommended by the organizers. It provides real-time traffic routing specifically for the Hannover Messe, directing drivers to the least congested parking lots based on live data. Following the "Messe" signage on the A2 and A7 motorways is also reliable, but NUNAV is better for avoiding peak-hour bottlenecks.
