Attention:
There is no possibility to stop your vehicle near the RheinEnergieSTADION to drop off or pick up concert visitors. Stopping at the roadside is strictly prohibited!
From the P+R parking area “Weiden West,” tram line 1 runs directly to RheinEnergieSTADION. The KVB will operate additional special trains on this line.
From the stop “Haus Vorst/Marsdorf,” Kölner Sportstätten GmbH offers a free shuttle service, bringing guests close to the stadium before the concert — to the bus stop “Südallee/Junkersdorf.”
After the concert ends, the shuttle service will be available for 1.5 hours from that location back to “Haus Vorst/Marsdorf.”
Due to high traffic volume, arriving by car may result in long wait times.
We strongly recommend not coming to the stadium by car!
Advance ticket sales for parking have ended.
There will be a day-of ticket booth at the parking lots.
