Drupa tickets to be available online from 2 January 2016

The tickets for the show, which will take place from 31 May to 10 June 2016, will be available at www.drupa.de

The organisers said that with the online purchase provision, the visitors would be able to save both time and money. Visitors can print the tickets on their printers or download as a code and then travel to the show.

Furthermore, the eTickets are much cheaper than the tickets bought on the ground. Daily tickets cost 45 euros online, whereas the price at the ticket offices onsite in Dusseldorf is 65 euros.

Visitors, who want to be at Drupa for more than one day also profit from the online offers. A three-day card is available for 120 euros instead of 175 euros onsite. Buying a five-day ticket, a visitor can save as much as 100 euros and pay 190 euros instead of 290 euros. Discount tickets for students and trainees are also much cheaper online: 15 euros instead of 25 euros onsite.

Dusseldorf Marketing & Tourismus helps visitors with their accommodation booking arrangements. The range of hotels has expanded further, since, the last Drupa. Currently, there are nearly 79,000 hotel beds available in the Dusseldorf metropolitan area. In the Dusseldorf city region alone, around 1,000 new hotel beds have been created in recent years and another 900 beds in the surrounding towns (Essen, Krefeld, Mönchengladbach or Wuppertal).
