It turns out that I can’t make it to re:publica after all and so I would like to transfer my ticket to someone else. How do I go about doing this?  

Not a problem. If you want to sell your ticket or gift it to someone then send an email to ticket@re-publica.de. It must include the name and email address of the original attendee, the name and email address of the new attendee, original purchase date of the ticket, ticket number and quantity. With this information we can transfer your ticket. Please note that transfers can only be done until May 2, 2015 and that ticket prices cannot be reimbursed. So, if the ticket to be transferred is not a gift then it is up to you and the new recipient to work out your own payment method.

Of course, you can still sell your ticket even if the May 2, 2015 deadline has passed. However, passed that date we won’t be able to change the original name on the ticket and nametag to that of the new attendee’s. There will be blank nametags available on location at the accreditation desk, which can be filled out by hand.     

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.

No worries, besides buying an Early Bird Ticket you have to two options for attending rp15 – and they are both free:

• Become a helper
  Before, during and after re:publica we are depending on the support from volunteer helpers. As a helper you will receive a Three-Day-Ticket in exchange for 8 hours of work, including catering. Helper accreditation will begin around February 2015.
• Become a speaker
  Our Call for Papers begins in December. It will give you the chance to submit a talk, a workshop, a discussion panel or another form of action and thus apply to be part of the re:publica 2015 programme.

No, unfortunately not. But you can resell your Early Bird Ticket at a later date, no problem.

• Access to the Business Lounge

Those who want to escape re:publica’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 2015 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.

• Supporting re:publica

This last point may be the deciding factor in the purchase of a Business Ticket because it helps to ensure that re:publica can, thanks to its reasonable ticket costs, remain “The DAVOS of the people”, as once phrased by Jeff Jarvis. The unique heterogeneity of the audience is what makes re:publica so exciting and inspiring, especially for business professionals. Those who want an honest answer to questions, such as how good product X or service Y is, will ask the re:publica participants – the veteran teacher enjoying the sunshine in the courtyard or the student hacker having a late night drink at the bar. You may even find that new coder or that needed designer for your business!

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.
