Tickets & More Info
The 3 day festival gives attendees a few options for ticket purchase. Like most festivals, Early Bird tickets are always the cheapest option, however the lineups are never announced at that point. You can purchase a ticket for any day you’d like, or a 3 day pass. The festival pass usually goes for roughly 95 CHF (88€), but can vary from year to year.
As for camping, this is an option on the festival grounds! If you’re on a backpacking trip through Europe, it’s not likely you’ll have all the necessary camping gear to spend the night. You can arrange a tent, trailer, or RV rental on the festival website, or you can choose a comfier option in Interlaken. We have a top recommendation, but you have to keep reading to discover it!
