Tickets for drupa 2016 (31 May to 10 June 2016) will be available online from 2 January 2016 at www.drupa.de. Provided as e-tickets, they will offer a dual purpose: to save time and money. Visitors can buy the tickets online and print them on their own printer or download as a code and then travel to the show free of charge by bus and train.

Furthermore, the e-ticket is much cheaper than any ticket bought on the day. Daily tickets cost €45 online whereas the price at the ticket offices onsite in Düsseldorf is €65. Visitors who want to attend for more than one day also profit from the online offers. A three day card is available via the internet for €120 instead of €175 when purchased onsite. When buying the five day ticket you can save as much as €100 and pay €190 instead of €290 when purchased on-site. Reduced price tickets for students and trainees are also much cheaper online: €15 instead of €25 onsite.

If you are looking for a place to stay at drupa, Düsseldorf Marketing & Tourismus (DMT) offers an excellent service. This local organisation has the best overview of hotels and private accommodation available in Düsseldorf and surrounding areas during drupa. It can also help visitors with their booking arrangements. The range of hotels has expanded further since the last drupa. Currently there are nearly 79,000 hotel beds available in the Düsseldorf metropolitan area. In the Düsseldorf city region alone around 1000 new hotel beds have been created in recent years and another 900 beds in the surrounding towns (eg Essen, Krefeld, Mönchengladbach or Wuppertal). The DMT has put together its complete service package for drupa online which is certainly worth a click

drupa will be open daily from 10 am to 6 pm (up to 5 pm at the weekend). All drupa tickets include free return travel to the trade show by bus, train and tram within the local travel networks Verkehrsverbunds Rhein-Ruhr (VRR) and Rhein-Sieg (VRS) (second class, only trains without surcharges).

Added to this is an attractive offering from Messe Düsseldorf, Deutsche Bahn and DMT specifically for drupa visitors who live outside these two transport networks: You can travel from all German cities – whether Hamburg or Munich – for €99 return to Düsseldorf. This offer is valid for second class tickets and can be booked now.
