Current Information
During the night, keep checking on the Silvestival® Facebook page to get up-to-date programme tips, information and news on the events. To the Silvestival Facebook Fan Page >
Traffic Light – Occupancy of Venues
On our website, www.silvestival.de, on New Year’s Eve, we will mark the various acts on the “Programme” spreadsheet, according to the number of places taken. 10 minutes before each show, you can see how much room there still is: green––lots of room, yellow––a few places left, red––full up, no places left.
Food and Drink
Finger food or a bowl of soup, something warm and spicy at midnight to delight your palate. Many venues will serve non-alcoholic drinks and warm drinks, but also cocktails, beer, wine, and, of course, sparkling wine . More information can be found here.
You want to start the night with a three-course buffet at 7pm?

(Almost) Barrier-Free Access

Seating

Weather
The Silvestival® will take place in (almost) all weather conditions. Most venues are indoors and therefore relatively independent of the weather. In the outdoor venues, St Catherine’s, Klarissenplatz and Künstlerhaus/Kulturgarten, the programme will be performed if at all possible. There will be no replacement programme, if programmes in these venues have to be cancelled.
Public Transport with Ticket / More transport available on New Year’s Eve
The ticket entitles you to use the VGN public transport network to get to the festival and back and during the event. The ticket is valid four hours before the start of the event until the close of service (entire public transport network, DB 2nd class in trains free of extra charge).
The VAG will increase its services and take you home safely after the Silvestival®. All underground lines will operate all night, with trains every 10 minutes.
The NightLiner buses will go every 20 minutes, starting at 1.00, 1.20, 1.40, 2.00, 2.20, 2.40, 3.00, 3.20, 3.40 and 4.00 a.m. from the Main Train Station (Hauptbahnhof) going in all directions.

Organiser’s General Terms and Conditions
Entrance Wristlet
Entrance to the Silvestival® is only by valid and undamaged Entrance Wristlet issued by the organiser. When you present your ticket at the venue entrance, the stewards will give you a wristlet and also fasten it around your wrist. Tickets will be cancelled as soon as you are issued with a wristlet and will no longer be valid as festival tickets. But please keep your ticket, since it also serves as a public transport ticket!
Limits to Admission
Access to individual venues with a limited capacity will only be permitted up to the officially sanctioned audience capacity. At individual venues, therefore, there may temporarily be no admission, without any claim for partial refund of the ticket price.
Access Control
At the venue entrance, for reasons of security and order as well as prevention of refuse, a security check will be performed by the stewards.
Do Not Bring
There is a ban on fireworks and other pyrotechnics, on glass containers, cans, PET bottles, animals, weapons of all kinds and other dangerous items! If these are found, the organiser is entitled to refuse access to the event.
No Sound and Image Recordings
Sound, film and video recordings of the events are not permitted, not even for private use! Contraventions will be prosecuted.
Image Rights
Visitors irrevocably agree to gratuitous use of their images and their voices for photographs, live broadcasts, broadcasts and/or recordings of image and/or sound recordings made by the organisers, their agents or other third parties in the context of the event, as well as the use of all of these in all current and future media at all times.
Programme Changes
Programme changes may occur in festivals. In case of cancellation by individual artists, the organisers will try to find adequate replacements. Visitors have no claim due to the cancellation by individual artists.
