Frequently asked questions
What do I need to access the livestream?
If you have purchased your ticket via our ticket shop, you’re set. Your ticket number (XXXX-YYYY-ZZZZ) is the password for the livestream (it’s in the confirmation e-mail you got from Xing Events right after your purchase, please check your spam folder in case you can’t find it).
What do I need to access a workshop?
If you booked one of our workshops, you got a separate e-mail from Xing Events containing the link to the workshop and all further information.

Of course! From Thursday, March 11th, 05:00PM CET on you can still book your ticket in our Ticket Shop.

We are trying to process every order during the Festival within 15 minutes, so please be patient (and check your spam folder!).
