The world's largest dance sport competition the German Open Championships could not take place without volunteers. If you are interested in helping out, you will find the information in the registration portal for volunteers as soon as the portal is up to date. When volunteer registrations are possible, there will be a news item. So always check the Germn Open Championships website.

As a volunteer in the event phase, you will of course receive free admission for the days on which you are assigned as a volunteer. In addition, you will receive our excellent staff catering and free parking if you arrive by private car. The Germn Open Championships entry fee is waived for the days on which you help and dance yourself. The minimum time for a helper assignment is 4 hours.

Early ticket purchase is highly recommended for a spectator seat in the Beethoven Hall. Advance sales started on 15.03. Tickets are still available at the box office, but there is no standing guaranteed for the evening event in the Beethovensaal. For the Hegelsaal and the Alte Reithalle: free seating (only in combination with a valid ticket - no seat reservation).

To the Tickets

Reserved and already paid for

Tickets can be collected from the ticket container in front of the main entrance to the Hegelsaal. Visitors who have already paid should always have their voucher number to hand (starts with an "A"). Please also follow the signs at the ticket windows.

Reserved and not yet paid

Visitors who have not yet paid for their tickets but have reserved them will receive a letter with the order number. Please take this to the visitor counter (EasyTicket) and pay for and collect your tickets there. Please note: Only card payment is possible.

No ticket yet

Visitors who have not yet purchased tickets can buy them at the main entrance to the Hegelsaal in the passageway at the left-hand ticket counter.

Your admission ticket grants you access to the Liederhalle. After entry, the ticket is no longer valid on its own, but it must be retained.
If you leave the venue, please obtain an exit pass.
Re-entry to the Liederhalle is only permitted when presenting both the exit pass and the original admission ticket together.

When you buy a seat ticket, you are admitted to the Liederhalle and entitled to the seat in the Beethovensaal indicated on your ticket. You can leave this seat at any time and move freely around the hall area. If you wish to leave the hall, ask for an re-entry ticket. You can use this to re-enter the Liederhalle area at any time.

It is common for vacant seats in the Beethovensaal to be used by people (e.g. photographers) who do not have a seat ticket. If your seat is occupied, speak to the person and the seat will be released.

Access to the Liederhalle is only possible with a valid original admission ticket.

On the website Event-Guide, you find the button to our hotel recommendations. These are made for various hotels with a reservation link or preference code. Early reservation is advisable.

This is an international competition to which couples from all over the world are admitted. Usually the dance floors and starting fields are larger. Initially, 12-14 couples start at the same time. These are divided into "heats" = rounds. Often, after the first round, the number of starters is halved, so that towards the end there is always a round of the last 48, 24, 12 and 6. If the starting fields are very large, there are "fixed heats", i.e. always the same couples in a round. The rules stipulate this - but only in the first rounds.

This is a WDSF competition where the top 50 couples in the world are excluded. The World Ranking List valid as of August 1 of the current year applies to the German Open Championships (GOC).

So there are better chances for new couples from the midfield.

This is series of the most important dance competitions of the WDSF with its own ranking system. There are five GrandSlam competitions worldwide with twelve judges from twelve nations.

These are couples who are exempt from the first round due to their position in the current ranking list. Star couples therefore only start from the 2nd round.
