FAQ's
Is the Sunday Iron Maiden day included in the standard festival ticket?
The standard 4-Day ticket for Rock for People only covers Wednesday through Saturday and does not include Sunday, June 14. If you wish to see Iron Maiden, you must purchase the specific 5-Day Full Festival ticket or a separate Single-Day Sunday ticket. Be sure to check your ticket type carefully before arriving at the venue check-in points to ensure you have the correct wristband.
Can I enter the festival if I am under 18 years old?
Rock for People is an all-ages event, but children under 15 must be accompanied by an adult guardian at all times. Minors aged 15 to 17 do not need a guardian but are subject to strict alcohol control via a different colored wristband. Children under 140 cm in height often have discounted or free entry, but this must be verified on the official ticketing page.
What is the "Comfy plus" ticket and how does it differ from VIP?
The Comfy plus ticket is a mid-tier upgrade that offers fast-track entry and access to a special hangar bar and relaxation zone. While it includes high-end ceramic restrooms and outdoor pallet seating, it does not include the elevated viewing platforms provided for VIPs. This is an excellent option for those who want a bit more comfort and shorter lines without the full cost of a VIP pass.
How does the cashless payment system work at the festival?
The entire venue operates on a cashless basis using a chip integrated into your festival wristband for all food, drinks, and merch. You can top up your wristband at various physical stations around the park or via the official mobile app using your credit card. Any remaining balance on your wristband at the end of the event can be refunded to your bank account through the online portal.
Are there charging stations for phones and electronic devices?
Multiple charging stations are located throughout the festival grounds and within the various camping areas for all attendees. Lockable charging boxes are available for rent, and many glamping options like the Chill Village include dedicated electricity in the tents. It is still recommended to bring a portable power bank, as the main charging zones can become very busy during the evening peak hours.
