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. 

Discounts apply to the following persons with appropriate proof: 

• Children, teenagers and young adults from 12 up to and including 25 years of age
• pupils and students 
• trainees 
• registered unemployed persons 
• people with disabilities 
• participants in the social, diaconal or ecological year 
• pensioners, as far as their economic situation requires it 

The indication of your age and/or the reference that you possess an appropriate document of identification, e.g., student identity card, pension identity card or severely handicapped identity card and/or a proof of the receipt of basic security, is sufficient, to grant you a reduction. 

The easiest way is to upload the ID as a file in your registration. Alternatively, you can send us an e-mail or a copy by mail. For correct assignment, please provide us with your application number, which will be sent to you with the confirmation email. 

Recipients of Bürgergeld and benefits under the Asylum Seekers' Benefits Act can order a funding ticket.
