Tickets & Admission
Do I need an online ticket or is there a box office?
We recommend purchasing your ticket online in advance. Not only will this save you waiting time at the entrance, but tickets are also slightly cheaper online. You can also buy tickets online during the trade fair weekend. There will be a box office on site, but you may experience longer waiting times there. For seniors and people with disabilities, there is a ticket office that provides support and also helps with test drive registration.
Can I bring my dog to the trade fair?
Dogs on leashes are generally welcome. However, please bear in mind that SPEZI can get SPEZI crowded and noisy. The exhibition halls are often very busy. It is important that people who are afraid of dogs are always able to avoid them.
Is the SPEZI also valid as a public transport ticket?
Yes! Your SPEZI is also a combined ticket for the RVF (public transport). You can travel there and back free of charge on the day the ticket is valid. You can also use a Frelo bike (Nextbike) free of charge for 60 minutes. Any remaining time does not expire.
Accommodation & Camping
Is there a camping area for visitors?
Yes! SPEZI on its fantastic community. There is a designated camping area in the immediate vicinity of the exhibition grounds. As spaces are in high demand, you should book your tent ticket early in our ticket shop. You can find more information here: spezialradmesse.de/unterkunft
Where can I park my camper/motorhome?
Campers and motorhomes are generally permitted to stay overnight in the visitor parking lot. This costs €5 per day. When the trade fair toilets close at 11 p.m., the toilets on the tent field must be used (approx. 150 m away). For motorhomes, we definitely recommend the official parking lot directly opposite the trade fair. Further information can be found here: spezialradmesse.de/unterkunft
At the trade fair
What do I need to know about test drives?
You must register in order to test ride a bike. You will find QR codes everywhere so you can do this with your smartphone. We will help you at the senior citizens' ticket office if you have any problems. You must show your ID card briefly to each exhibitor for every test ride. Helmets are mandatory for S-pedelecs. You may only leave the test track with the exhibitor's permission.
Is there a private sale or second-hand market?
Absolutely! You can sell your bike privately. There is a designated area for this next to the bike parking lot. No permit is required and there are no costs involved.
