Arriving by public transport
Event tickets for the Festhalle include free travel to the event on public transport operated by the Rhein-Main-Verkehrsverbund (RMV) within the entire fare zone. This combined ticket is valid for a return journey in 2nd class from five hours before the start of the event until the end of service.
You can also obtain tickets for underground, suburban and tram services from all RMV ticket machines.
