First time attendee question. We are thinking about getting a travel package from https://www.amplitur.com/. Does anyone have experience with them? Reviews, advice, etc. We're traveling from America and want to pack smart.

Weil es letztes mal von Einigen, warum auch immer, für ein echtes Lineup gehalten wurde: Es ist nur eine Vorhersage, von den Bands, die ich für 2027 noch erwarte.

When does the Ticket market open?

I bought a ticket and was very excited to attend next year. But unfortunately I was in a car crash recently and a family issue has arisen and I will not be able to attend. Do you know when the ticket market will open up so I can deal with my issue?

How do introverted or stimulus-sensitive autistic people enjoy Wacken?

26 Upvotes

I’m a 40s male, lifelong metal fan. Never been to a festival because it seems too overwhelming for me from a stimulus perspective. I’m autistic and introverted. I go to concerts but just normal one-night concerts in small to medium sized venues.

I go by myself and never talk to anyone else. But I desperately want to have fun. While I enjoy seeing bands I just can’t “have fun” and never feel like I fit in. Not sure how to explain it. That’s my brand of autsim.

Going to Wacken has been a fantasy of mine for like 2 decades. I would absolutely love to go but fear I’d be completely miserable due to the crowd, camping situation, and general over-stimulation of the event. It’s a crappy feeling to feel because everyone always looks like they have a great time.

Is anyone else like me but have gone anyway? If so how did you do and are you glad you went?

wacken connections to Hamburg

Question for someone going for the first time in 2027!
Spending a couple weeks travelling before and after wacken.
I’m needing to plan travel for August 1 to get from wacken to Amsterdam, so I’m wondering how hard is it to get on the shuttles from wacken to the connecting train station? Will it take most of the day to get back to Hamburg or is it easy? Just one person and I’m going to try to stay in T.E.N.T

Flogger and whip stand at Wackinger Village?

16 Upvotes

Hi everyone 👋

There was a merchand stand at the Wackinger village right at one of the passages to the main stages selling handmade paracord floggers and whips. I had a lovely chat with them on more than one occasion and tried out their whips. Now I wanted to buy some floggers from them but I cannot find their card in the mess my home still is after the festival season 😅

Can someone give me the name of the merchant?

Thank you!

Metal Urlaub in Indien, jemand dabei?

Post image
40 Upvotes

Ich bin zum ersten Mal in Indien und überlege, mir dort das Bangalore Open Air anzuschauen.

Ich bin über einen Artikel im Bullhead Magazine auf den Veranstalter aufmerksam geworden und habe danach ein bisschen über ihn und das Festival gegoogelt. Schon eine ziemlich interessante Geschichte, er war wohl 2009 zum ersten Mal beim Wacken Open Air, wurde davon inspiriert, ist danach zurück nach Indien gegangen und hat dort das Bangalore Open Air gegründet. Heute lebt er tatsächlich in Wacken und arbeitet auch für Wacken 😂

Ich überlege gerade, daraus direkt einen kleinen Urlaub zu machen, erst Bangalore Open Air und danach vielleicht noch ein paar Tage Goa.

Hin und zurück von Deutschland nach Indien kostet wohl ungefähr 500 Euro. Teilweise günstiger als ein Mallorca Urlaub 😂

Metal Festival in Bangalore und danach ein paar Tage Goa klingt eigentlich ziemlich geil.

War jemand von euch schon mal beim Bangalore Open Air oder generell in Bangalore und Goa, irgendwelche Tipps?

Hard to believe that this is the exact spot arch enemy were playing only 2 weeks ago. It's so very quiet. (Photo taken "on" harder stage. You can see were the edge of the stage was)

Free Faster-Ticket T-Shirt

16 Upvotes

Anyone has experience receiving the free T-shirt?

Ticketcenter allowed me to choose the size then redirected the page to Metalmerch, but then I found out that I have to pay €19.99 for shipping.
Is it possible to collect it at the festival like click&collect or while getting the wristband?!

It just feels a bit silly to spend extra money in order to get a "free" T-shirt...
