LESS WAITING, MORE TIME TO ENJOY
With the Fast Lane Pass, you’ll gain access to a dedicated priority line for autographs, selfies, and photo ops. This helps reduce waiting times and allows you to make the most of your convention weekend.
To use the Fast Lane, simply collect your wristband at the Sales Desk by presenting your Fast Lane ticket. The wristband is valid for the entire day. Any wristband that has been removed, altered, or tampered with will become invalid immediately.
Please note:
The Fast Lane Pass is an optional add-on and does not replace an admission ticket. A valid admission ticket is still required to enter the event.
The Fast Lane Pass does not include autograph, selfie, or photo op tickets. These must be purchased separately. The pass only provides priority access to the respective queues.
The Fast Lane Pass is valid exclusively for autograph, selfie, and photo op lines. It does not apply to event entry, the Sales Desk, food vendors, restrooms, or any other queues.
The Fast Lane Pass is valid for one person only.
FACTS & IMPORTANT INFORMATION
We’ve put together some important information to help make your visit as smooth and enjoyable as possible.
CLOAKROOM & BAGS
A cloakroom will be available on-site. As waiting times can be longer, especially at the beginning and end of the event, we recommend bringing only the essentials whenever possible. This helps ensure a smoother entry process and a more comfortable experience for all attendees.
ATMS
ATMs are available on-site for cash withdrawals. While many exhibitors and vendors accept card payments, we recommend bringing some cash with you, as card payment cannot be guaranteed at every booth.
FOOD & DRINKS
Food and drinks will be available throughout German Saga Con. Enjoy a variety of meals, snacks, and beverages provided by Messe Essen. The catering areas offer the perfect place to take a break, relax, and recharge before continuing your convention adventure.
You are also welcome to bring your own food and drinks. However, for safety reasons, glass bottles and other glass containers are not permitted inside the venue.
