FAQ Registration

Registration for Katholikentag is possible via katholikentag.de/participate. The registration is only available in German.

To register or buy tickets on our website, you need your "My Katholikentag" account. If you have already attended a Katholikentag in previous years and registered via "My Katholikentag", you can log in with your former user data. 

As soon as information on advance ticket sales is available, you will also find it at katholikentag.de/participate. During the Katholikentag, tickets can still be purchased at box offices. But take advantage of the early bird discount and register online beforehand! 

You can choose between the printed participation card or the digital form. With the digital participation card (eTicket), you reduce the mailing effort and reduce the risk of loss. To use the eTicket, you need a smartphone and the Katholikentag app. You cannot print out the eTicket by yourself. There will be a shipping charge for mailing paper tickets. 

If all members of a family or group want to have the eTicket on their own phone, they will all need their own "My Katholikentag" account with different email addresses and the Katholikentags app for each. If one person has all eTickets collected on one cell phone, these people would always have to attend all events together. If you don't have a smartphone but want to attend an event independently, it's better to choose a paper ticket.

The Katholikentag tries to arrange shared accommodations. This request can be made when purchasing a ticket. 

The Katholikentag will ask für private accommodation from Erfurt residents as well. Here the demand for participants is probably higher than the offers we get in Erfurt and the surrounding area.  Therefore, private accomondations will be primarely  available for older participants, families and people with disabilities. If not enough private accommodations can be found, the Katholikentag office will try to offer shared accommodations. 

 For us to be able to arrange accommodation for you, we need your registration by March 24, 2024! 

The Katholikentag does not arrange accommodation in hotels, holiday flats, youth hostels or campsites.
