Questions & Answers

  • Tickets / advance booking
    • FAQ of the advance booking office
    • Who can help me if I have not received my ticket, can no longer find it or have other problems with my ticket order?

      If you have any questions about your ticket, only our SeaYou Shop can help you.
      You can find it at: https://shop.seayou-festival.de

      You can send all questions about your ticket to shop@seayou-festival.de.

      Unfortunately there is no telephone number.

    • I don’t understand the difference between the price levels, what do the different numbers mean?

      The price levels refer ONLY to the booking period and not to the services.
      If you bought your ticket in the autumn of the previous year, you will pay significantly less than someone who booked just a few months or weeks before the festival.

    • Does it make sense to ask the promotor for extra tickets after certain categories were sold out?

      No, unfortunately it is not possible to request tickets for sold-out categories or to exchange tickets of tickets (e.g. to other campsites that are already sold out).
      However, you can check here to see if your desired tickets are still available on the resale platform:

      https://shop.seayou-festival.de/resale

      Please only use this page for buying & selling tickets.
      On our Sea You Resale channel, it is 100% guaranteed that your purchased or sold ticket is valid, as our tickets and barcodes are checked here. 🧐👌

    • Are the tickets personalised?

      Yes, all tickets are personalised. In addition, guest list and free tickets are personalised, non-saleable and therefore non-transferable.

      You can personalise your ticket in your ticket account for the first time or have it re-personalised. The ticket can only be downloaded after successful personalisation. No additional personalisation is required for the additional tickets (camping/shuttle/cashless/...), but they are linked to the festival ticket.
      If you have purchased several tickets, you can also personalise the tickets to your friends in your ticket account and give them access to the ticket.
      The first ticket is usually personalised to yourself, each additional ticket must be sent individually to the person for whom you bought the ticket.

    • Do I necessarily have to bring my printed ticket?

      No, but it is useful and we recommend it in case there is a problem with your mobile phone. In the past, many guests were unable to download their ticket on site due to a lack of network coverage, and this led to significant backlogs.

    • I have a multi-day ticket but can only go to the festival for one day. Can I pass on my ticket for the other day or split it between two people?

      No, unfortunately that is not possible, as the combination ticket is played on a wristband for all booked days. The ticket is personalized for one person and contains all the data and authorizations for that person. In addition, the wristband functions as a means of payment at the Sea You Festival.

    • What is special about the VIP-Ticket?

      • Access to VIP areas behind and next to the main stage and a total of 3 VIP stages Fri. + Sat. + Sun. (subject to free capacities)

Please send us an email to team@seayou-festival.de with a scan of your severely disabled person's ID.

No free wristband can be issued on site without prior registration with us. Disabled toilets are available. Please note, however, that some areas, e.g. the VIP area or the stages, are not barrier-free and therefore cannot be accessed by wheelchair. Due to the strict safety regulations regarding escape and rescue routes, we are therefore unable to sell VIP tickets to wheelchair users.

    • Which accommodation options are there?

      You can stay overnight at one of our three campsites (A, B or C).
      You can find all the info here: https://www.seayou-festival.de/camping

    • Am I allowed to bring any food or drinks to the festival area?

      No, it is not allowed to bring any food or drinks.

    • Are there dishes for vegans or vegetarians?

      We have some stands that offer vegetarian and vegan food.

    • Am I allowed to sleep in my car?

      No, this is not possible because there is no infrastructure in the parking lots. Our security staff will regularly check the parking lots and take action in the event of wild camping.

    • Does the festival take part if it is raining?

      Then we talk about an act of nature beyond control. The festival takes generally part come rain or shine as long as the promotor can take the responsibility for it. In case there are any risks for someone’s body or health foreseeable the event will immediately not be continued.

    • What happens if…?

      … I damage something?
      Every guest who breaks something at the festival venue or campground is liable for it.

      … I lose my wristband?
      Please make sure that you don’t lose it. If so you won’t get a new one and in case the promotor or securi-ty finds out about you not wearing the wristband you’ll be banished from the festival venue.

      … I lost something?
      If you lost something you can ask for it at entrance which means, that this is also the place you can turn something in in case you found something. If your lost item is still not there you can write an email to team@seayou-festival.de after the festival.

      … I got robbed or something got stolen?
      Every guest is responsible for his or her own belongings. We suggest leaving all valuables that are not desperately needed at home or at least in your car.

      … something happens to me?
      Entering the festival venue and especially taking a bath in the lake is on your own risk. The promotor’s contractual and legal liability for its own and other people’s actions is restricted to an act of gross negligence. Of course there is a first aid team present.

    • Is the consumption of CANNABIS allowed at the festival?

      Private cannabis consumption is legal in Germany and at the festival.
      You have been allowed to smoke weed legally since April 1, 2024 and smoke a joint at Lake Tunisee or on the festival campsite.

      But be careful, as always, there are a few rules:

      • You are allowed to carry up to a maximum of 25 grams of cannabis per person in public spaces.
      • DON'T SMOKE & DRIVE: The following currently still applies in road traffic: even with a low THC content in the blood (limit = 1 nanogram of THC per milliliter of blood serum), a driver is committing an administrative offense. If driving behavior is conspicuous, too much THC in the blood is considered a criminal offense. If the limit is exceeded, you face a fine, points and, in the worst case, even a driving ban. Incidentally, this also applies to driving bicycles or e-scooters if any abnormalities occur.
      • The import of cannabis from abroad into Germany remains prohibited.

      Further information can be found on the official website of the Federal Government at https://www.bundesregierung.de/breg-de/aktuelles/cannabis-legalisierung-2213640

    • Is it possible to visit my friends on another campground?

      Unfortunately it is not possible to switch between camping A, B or C due to limited capacities.
      There are access controls to prevent overcrowding on the site.

    • Can I come with a camper or van?

      A motorhome ticket can be purchased at Camping A. One ticket is required per motorhome.
      The ticket is only valid if it is one vehicle (no cars with trailers such as caravans).

      Please note that you still need a Camping A AND a festival ticket (2 or 3 days or VIP 2 or 3 days) per person.

    • Can I drive close to my camping spot to unload my car?

    • How does the refund of the trash deposit work?

      The ticket for camping A includes 5, - € per person as trash deposit. When you check out you have to bring a full trash bag and the token you got when you checked in to get back the 5,- €. Extra trash bags are available at any time for free. Tickets for Camping B and C don’t include a trash deposit, so nothing will be paid back.

    • How much space am I entitled to?

      Campsite A

      Each camper has about 3.5m² of space available for their tent. Please bear this in mind when choosing your tent. If you are travelling as a group, you can of course add up your space and bring a larger tent. As we would like to offer space to as many campers as possible due to the limited capacity, it is important that tents are occupied as optimally as possible.

      Campsite B+C

      Tents must be occupied by 3-4 people, and the journey should be made by car.

    • Can we reserve an area for our friends who will arrive later?
