Tickets for the concert of Herbert Grönemeyer in front of the Karlsruhe Castle (Open-Air) are available exclusively at www.eventim.de as well as at ticket agencies connected to the eventim system (opening hours may vary). If not all tickets are sold in advance, there will also be a box office.

We recommend arriving and departing on foot, by bicycle or by public transport. The event site is centrally located in downtown Karlsruhe and is only a few minutes' walk from the underground streetcar stops "Marktplatz / Pyramide" and "Marktplatz / Kaiserstraße". The two central stops are also served by the Nightliner lines and guarantee that you can get home even at a late hour. For cyclists, there will be parking facilities in the immediate vicinity of the venue.

If you arrive by car, we recommend using the P+R parking lots in the city districts and continuing your journey by public transport. The organizers also provide the Birkenparkplatz at the BBBank Wildpark (Adenauerring) for a flat fee. From there, an illuminated footpath leads to the event site.

There is also a limited number of paid parking spaces available in the parking garages in downtown Karlsruhe. Please check the capacity utilization of the parking garages as well as the current construction and congestion situation on the mobility portal at https://vmz.karlsruhe.de.
