Planning tickets, travel and costumes
Before booking, confirm the date, venue and ticket conditions on the official website. If you want to enter a competition, check its separate registration process. A visitor ticket does not automatically include a place on stage.
Plan both your outward and return journey from Offenbach to the actual venue. Large costumes, transfers and waiting times can make travel take longer. Read each organiser’s costume and prop rules before packing.
