Ticket cancellation is only possible for privately held tickets and must take place by April 28, 2016. Cancellation fees are €5.95, plus handling fees. Overall cancellation fees for Standard Tickets are a total of €13,84 and €9,96 for a Reduced Ticket.

For more information, please contact Xing Event Team at https://de.amiando.com/help/ticketbuyer. 

To save cancellation fees, it is also possible to sell a ticket you already purchased and have the name on the ticket changed accordingly. In that case, check the FAQ How do I transfer my ticket to another person?

Go to the Ticket Shop and select your desired ticket. Step two requires you to log in or enter an address for your order. At the very bottom of this page, you will see a check box, which you can use to donate €15 to the Refugees Emancipation project. If you would like to donate more, use the form further that page and enter the amount you would like to add to the €15. re:publica is then additionally donating by topping up the amount. In case the betterplace campaign's goal has been reached, the donations will go to a similar organisation with the same agenda.

Please note: re:publica will not be able to issue a donation receipt. If you need a donation receipt, please go directly to Refugees Emancipation's entry at the betterplace.org website. 

Once more our great partner Xing Events is supporting us by taking on the external convenience fees.

We will set up a dedicated accreditation booth for discount tickets at the main entrance to the event. Here you will be asked to show your student ID or other form of documentation.

Up until now we have never had to reject anyone who has applied to be a re:publica helper. However, if more helpers apply this time than we need it may well be the case that we will have to reject a few applicants. If you do not want to run that risk, purchase a ticket now and sell it on later.

Access to the Business Lounge

Those who want to escape re:publica’s and MEDIA CONVENTION Berlin's festival hubbub can head to the centrally located VIP lounge and use its calm atmosphere to conduct business or just hang out with old friends and new acquaintances and enjoy the catering with the re:publica and MEDIA CONVENTION Berlin speakers.

• Continuous catering during all three days

Four meals (breakfast, lunch, afternoon cakes, snack in the evening) as well as soft drinks, coffee and tea are included in the Business Ticket and are available throughout the day in the VIP lounge. All warm meals are freshly prepared by the STATION BERLIN kitchens and, of course, vegetarian options are also available.

• Transferability

Compared to regular tickets, Business Tickets are transferable. For companies this means that colleagues can alternate attendance by sharing the company ticket. This way everyone can take in the re:publica atmosphere and become inspired, conduct meetings on location or let staff members with specific skill sets attend corresponding thematic focal areas during the conference.

Yes, for groups of pupils, students, trainees, people on social welfare, retirees and people with disabilities. Please present documents at the door.  Please send your inquiries for group tickets to ticket@re-publica.de.

We want to welcome refugees to take part in re:publica TEN as helpers.

If you enjoy meeting new people and speak English, French, Farsi, Arabic, Kurdish languages or others, then come and join our Tandem Project. We'll pair you with a refugee when you begin your shift and you'll share the workload with him/her. You'll support each other working and spend the day together.

If you'd like to take part, simply tick “I would like to take part in the re:publica TEN Tandem Project” during registration. Use the “Languages” field to select the languages that you speak.

Welcome to the #rpTEN team! We now have your information, including preferred shift and work area. Starting mid-April, we will get in touch with you with more information. We will be working with a large number of helpers so please be patient if we can't respond to you as quickly as we'd like to.

It's rare that helpers aren't assigned to the working areas of their choice. On the off-chance that the needs for a working area change unexpectedly, we will contact you to discuss any changes to your shift.

So far, we have not rejected anyone who has registered as a helper and signed up for a shift. Of course things can always change during the organisation process, such as having to reschedule shifts to fit the event programme or having to scratch a shift completely. However, this happens very infrequently and we strive to find a fitting solution in these rare cases. By April we will make the helper waiting list available for anyone who hasn't found a suitable shift or who was too late in registering.

Unexpected things can always happen – we get it. Contact us as soon as possible so that we can re-plan and reschedule. Also, please don't forget: Delete your shift entry from your user account!

No, you'll receive free catering on the day of your shift.

At STATION Berlin (Luckenwalder Straße 4-6, 10963 Berlin). If you're arriving using the BVG, the nearest station is Gleisdreieck via lines U1 and U2.
