Frequently asked questions

Will I already have access to the campsite on Wednesday, 14.08.2024?

All 4-Day Pass PREMIUM and Early Bird 4-Day Pass ticket holders may enter the campsite from 16:00 on Wednesday, 14.08.2024.

From what age do I have to buy a ticket for my child?

From the 12th birthday, the child must have a valid festival pass.
Please note, however, that a music festival is not for small children. You can pick up hearing protection for your child at the information stand.

Where can I park my caravan / camper?

There is a Park & Ride parking lot at the airfield in Turtmann. You can park your caravan there for a fee.
Please note that there are no electricity and water connections at the airfield. There are only a few toilets on site.

The second option is to park your caravan at the Lampertji campsite in Gampel. You can find all the information under the following link: Lampertji 6.

Are my colleagues allowed to join me (premium owner) in the same campsite on Thursday with a normal ticket?

There is no cordoned-off PREMIUM area on the campsite. The people who already have access on Wednesday can choose a great spot and spend their first night in Gampel.
As it is forbidden to reserve pitches on Wednesday, we cannot guarantee that your colleagues will find a pitch next to you on Thursday.

Are helpers still needed?

No. We already have all the crews for this year's festival.
You are welcome to contact us again from spring 2025.

I would like to upgrade my ticket to PREMIUM. How to do it?

As our doors will be opening soon, an upgrade by post is unfortunately no longer possible.
However, you are welcome to upgrade your ticket on site at the festival box office. Please note that you will have to pay the surcharge up to the box office price.

 

Do I have to pay for transportation to the festival by public transport?

No, public transport by train and bus between Visp and the festival site and between Gampel station and the festival site is now included in the ticket price. Not included in the ticket price, however, is the night transportation by Postauto Valais between 00.00 and 06.00 hours. This unique integration is the result of a cooperation between Openair Gampel on the one hand and the public transport providers SBB Rail Away, RegionAlps, Postauto Valais and Ruffiner Reisen on the other. This also includes shuttle transport for Turtmann parking lot users, who pay for the shuttle via the parking fee.

For example, with a 1-day pass Saturday, can I already enter the festival area at 00:00 on Saturday?

With your Saturday Day Pass you are allowed to enter the festival area from Saturday, August 19, 2023 at 09:00.

How long can I stay at the campsite with a 1-day pass?

You are welcome to stay at the campsite with a valid festival ticket. It doesn't matter which ticket category you have. The campsite is open from Thursday - Sunday for everyone with a valid ticket.
