• Do I have to buy the tickets in advance?

  No - there will always be enough tickets at the box office for you to go to RITTER-FEST.

• Do I have to come in medieval / fantasy attire?

  No - of course not. Every visitor is welcome. Experience shows that most visitors come in "civilian clothes".

• Can I come in medieval / fantasy attire?

  A clear: YES. Many insiders and friends of the medieval/fantasy scene come in costume. If you enjoy history, don't hesitate. Of course, costumed visitors also receive a small discount on admission with us. It's important, though, that it's evident you've put effort into it. Just a hat and a cloak don't count as a costume 🙂

• Do people dressed in medieval garb get a discount on admission?

  Yes. Because we are loyal to the medieval/fantasy scene - just as the medieval/fantasy scene is loyal to us. Just a small gesture of gratitude.

• When will the programme (finally) be available?

  The programme for the people will be posted on this website approximately one week before the festival begins and will of course be handed out to all visitors in printed form.

• Gilt meine Eintrittskarte für den Wiedereinlass / Kann ich kurz ins Tal / … zu meinem Auto?
