Entry to Club STAGE in front of the castle is free.

The festival features a supporting programme, children's zone, workshops, and refreshments including craft breweries. Organizers provide guarded parking and secured bicycle parking.

Youth under 15 enter free only when accompanied by an adult with a valid ticket. Holders of ZTP/P certification and one companion also have free entry. Tickets are available through Ticketportal.
