The New Year's Eve tickets are sold in two categories based on areas:

Area 1: Lindenrondell / Platz des 18. März
This area is for those who want to experience the main program at the stage and definitely don't want to miss their stars. Ticket holders will be guaranteed access as long as they arrive at the front section by 7:30 PM. Exiting (without re-entry) via Ebertstraße North/South is possible at any time.

Area 2: Straße des 17. Juni
This area is for those who want to celebrate at the additional stages, visit the giant wheeland enjoy the wide range of food and beverages. The stage program can be viewed on screens as usual. Exiting (without re-entry) is possible atany time via the Siegessäuleand also Yitzhak Rabin Street.

Both areas can still be reached via the Siegessäule, but as mentioned, the Platz des 18. März area will only be reliably open until 7:30 PM.

This is in response to the pressure situation last year and provides visitors with more certainty in planning their visit. Additionally, the continuous option for exiting in both areas allows for more flexibility in evening plans.

"Parental guardian" can only be a person who meets the following requirements:

• The person is of legal age and demonstrates the maturity necessary to responsibly provide the necessary assistance to a child at the event.

Should parents or guardians nevertheless wish to attend such events together with children, they are responsible for the children's safety. In particular, appropriate hearing protection must be provided.

Regarding alcohol consumption at the event, we would like to emphasize that the sale and consumption of alcoholic beverages to persons under 18 is strictly prohibited.

Awareness involves being attentive to: boundary violations and assaults, should such incidents occur on site. It's about recognizing boundaries and situations that are subjective for each person and sometimes challenging to articulate. These situations can be so distressing for affected individuals that they may feel powerless and unable to act. Awareness is about fostering attention to discrimination and boundaries; both one's own and those of others. It signifies consciousness and mindfulness, maintaining a respectful and appreciative interaction with each other, and minimizing discriminatory and violent conditions. It's about taking responsibility for each other and for oneself.

“See something – Say something” - "Speak up if you notice something" or if you are personally affected. In the event of an incident, the affected person or the person who notices the situation can directly contact the Awareness Teams on site. Please report the incident directly through the locations (team wears yellow-purple-colored vests). Three fixed stations are distributed across the site (marked by colored Awareness banners):

• A station at Platz des 18. März
• A station at Yitzhak-Rabin-Straße / corner of Straße des 17. Juni
• A station in the area of Bellevueallee

In the event of an incident, the affected person or the person who notices the situation can also turn to all security and order service staff or the mobile Awareness Teams (teams wear yellow-purple-colored vests). There are two mobile patrols on the site. Contact: mailto:ambestenbunt@bestvd.com
