Since we want to link the hard ticket with the digital world, the Wacken Ticketcenter is a logical step. Hereby we offer you a convenient way to manage tickets for events from the Wacken cosmos comfortably and easily.
.You can pass on tickets, have them transferred to other names or even post them on the ticket exchange.
Active tickets are valid tickets for upcoming events. Various options are available for these, such as passing them on, placing them in the ticket exchange or repersonalizing them.
Under this button you will find digital tickets from your past events. You can also pass these on afterwards if, for example, one of your friends is still missing his ticket from a particular year.
Here you will see the Wacken tickets you have bought since 2020. That means: tickets for the Wacken Open Air and/or Wacken Wednesday from last year as well as (if you decide to exchange them) the corresponding tickets for 2022.
.The 2-factor authentication is a security query to the Wacken.ID account with which you gain access to the Wacken Ticketcenter.

You can log into the Wacken Ticketcenter at any time and from any laptop, computer or cell phone with your Wacken.ID.

You have a new mail address, but no access to the old mail address and your password is also no longer available?
Please send us a short mail.By passing on your ticket, you can pass it on to someone else. For example, many of you order tickets directly for your friends. You can now pass them on to your friends individually, for example when you have received the money for the order. With just a few clicks, the ticket then changes hands. Here's an example:
The W:O:A ticket must first bear the name of the ticket holder and be presented together with a valid identification document before downloading.
When ordering, you must always state the name of the owner for each ticket. This name will then be checked against an ID document at the entrance. If you need to make changes here (e.g. because of a name change or because someone else should use this ticket) you can do that here. For the processing we charge a fee of 10,00 €. Here is an example:
Marriage:
After a wedding usually one of the surnames changes. In such a case, repersonalization is not necessary. In the identity card is the birth name noted!
.The designation Fast-Ticket, Hard-Ticket and Waitinglist-Ticket are designations of the organizer and refer to the ordered ticket type. All tickets have the same status and are valid without restrictions for W:O:A 2022.
The designation has no influence when selling via the ticket market!
.Since the W:O:A / Wacken Wednesday 2021 will be postponed to 2022, you will also have to exchange your tickets. You can choose between three options:
You can exchange your 2021 ticket for a 2022 ticket at no extra cost.
This can be done with a few clicks here in the ticket center. Under "My Tickets" you will see your 2021 tickets. Here you can now select the exchange option. In addition, you can optionally repersonalize the ticket free of charge, for example, if you have changed your name. Then you confirm everything, check your details again and you're done. You are now in possession of tickets for the year 2022.
.Your 2021 tickets will be displayed under "My tickets". Here you can now select the appropriate option for the return in the first step. You enter your IBAN, confirm the whole thing, check your details again and you're done. We will then arrange a refund to the account you specified.
.If a ticket has already been exchanged for the 2022 festival, a return and refund is not possible.
You can post your ticket for sale on the Wacken Ticket Exchange. See also the point "Ticket exchange".
.For friends and acquaintances, this ticket can be forwarded with the button "Ticket forwarding" and enter the e-mail address of the new ticket holder. See also the point "Ticket forwarding"
.Our tickets are digital e-tickets, which will be made available as a download in good time before the start of the event.
