Children up to and including 15 years of age are admitted free of charge. From the age of 16, a ticket is required. 

We recommend that younger children are always accompanied and supervised by an adult. See also "Can I bring an accompanying person to re:publica?"

For each completed order, our ticket service provider creates an invoice. Of course, there can always be incorrect or incomplete data.

Incorrect or incomplete billing address? Typing error? Customer reference or VAT ID missing? No problem, use the link from the ticket order confirmation to easily correct the invoice data and issue a new invoice.

Note: This will create a new invoice number and at the same time create a cancellation invoice for the original one. The order number and content remains the same.

Of course you can! The easiest way is to buy a regular ticket for your companion. But there are other options as well:

• Accompaniment for people with disabilities
  The re:publica wants to be as accessible as possible for people with disabilities. We design the festival grounds to be as accessible as possible for people with disabilities and provide a variety of help and support. Unfortunately, however, not all barriers can be removed. People with disabilities can invite one accompanying person to re:publica free of charge. In exceptional cases, they can bring more than one person or different accompanying persons on different days. The famous "B" (accompanying person/"Begleitperson") in your ID card is not mandatory. Please contact us in advance via ticket at re-publica.com with your ticket number and a short explanation or a simple comment about your wish to have an "accompanying person". Make sure to contact us as soon as possible!
   
• "Nanny" persons
  If you are coming to re:publica with your child, it is possible to get access for a nanny (e.g. grandparent, parent, close friend) via ticket at re-publica.com. Deadline for registration: 22 May 2023.
   
• Other accompanying persons
  We want all participants to feel comfortable and safe at re:publica. If you need an accompanying person or animal, please contact us via ticket (at) re-publica.com. We kindly ask you to contact us as soon as possible!

As always, admission for accompanying persons can only be granted with a corresponding written confirmation from us. Please contact us well in advance so that there will be no problems at the entrance. Thank you!
