Vorteile mit dem The Pit-Ticket
Wacken Open Air doesn't just bring together the best fans in the world; it’s also a gathering point for bands, supporters, sponsors, press, record labels, promoters, managers, bookers, and many more from the global metal family.
Naturally, there has to be a place where people can connect in a relaxed atmosphere—and that exact area is Wacken United.
Wacken United is located right in the heart of the action, yet remains private and accessible.
Dedicated Access
- There is a separate entrance to the festival grounds via a special visitor bridge. This saves you long walks and the crowds at the main entrances.
- An exclusive wristband exchange and a separate check-in area ensure a fast and relaxed start to the festival.
- For those who value comfort, the separate restrooms in the lounge area are a major plus – cleaner and with shorter wait times than the public facilities.
All-Inclusive Catering
For those who want to skip the long lines at the food stalls, "The Pit" ticket offers a true premium option::
- All-inclusive catering featuring high-quality dishes and a wide selection of drinks in "The Pit" catering tent.

- A wide selection of hot and cold beverages
Backstage Tours
Wacken Open Air is not only one of the largest metal festivals in the world but also an impressive feat of organization. With "The Pit" ticket, you can go behind the scenes on an exclusive backstage tour and experience how the festival operates from the perspective of the crew and the artists.
This includes insights into technical workflows behind the stage, TV productions, and press reporting, and potentially even a look at the production area. A rare opportunity to see Wacken from a completely new perspective!
