Here you will find the answers to frequently asked questions. Please feel free to contact us if you have any further questions.
Can I take my bag or rucksack into the Volkswagen Hall?
It is not permitted to bring larger bags or rucksacks (larger than A4 format) to public events in the Volkswagen Hall. In order to minimise the amount of checks during the admission phase at events, we ask you to refrain from bringing larger bags or rucksacks. If you do bring larger bags, they will be checked and labelled with an "I am checked" ribbon. Storage facilities for large bags are available to a limited extent on the forecourt of the Volkswagen Halle for a fee. It is easiest if you limit yourself to carrying only the most necessary items (wallets, bunch of keys etc.)! Of course, it is permitted to carry necessary medical equipment / medical material larger than DIN A4 format. Our security service has been sensitised to this issue. It is best if the person concerned speaks directly to our security service during the admission phase!
Are children aged 14 allowed to attend concerts or sporting events unaccompanied by an adult?
Young people who have not yet reached the age of 14 may only enter the venue if accompanied by a parent or guardian. In all other respects, the provisions of the Youth Protection Act apply. Special regulations only apply if expressly posted at the ticket offices and admission areas. Please check the organiser's website to find out whether there are any special regulations for your event.
Can I book tickets with you?
Tickets are available at all known advance booking offices. The Volkswagen Halle Braunschweig does not have its own box office. Of course, if the performance is not sold out, tickets can also be purchased at the box office. The box office usually opens at the same time as admission.
When does the hall open for events?
You can find out the admission time for your event here on the event information page and on the organiser's website. Please note: Due to the security measures, we ask you to arrive at the events in good time to avoid long waiting times at the entrance (body check, bag checks). Please limit yourself to essential items such as mobile phones, keys, wallets etc. and refrain from carrying large bags, handbags and rucksacks. This makes the work of the security staff easier and speeds up the admission procedure.
Where can I store a rollator in the hall?
For safety reasons, it is prohibited to place walking frames in the aisles / on the square during the event. Escape and rescue routes must be kept clear!
