No reserved seat

If you are wheelchair-bound, then we are happy to provide a special seating arrangement.
Contact us at mechelen@festival.be .

Limited tickets

We want to assure the correct social distance between visitors and will, therefore, restrict each concert to a smaller capacity of attendees.

Contact tracing

If you buy multiple tickets for one concert, you are the contact person per group/bubble. If you bought the tickets, you already provided us with all the necessary contact details. Should there be potential contamination, you'll have to share the contact information of your company with the tracing authorities.

'Bubbles' are welcome!

Your order corresponds to your bubble. You must arrive together and will be seated together.
Of course, you'll need to respect the official guidelines that apply to the number of people you can see outside your family bubble.

Respect the general safety guidelines

All personal safety recommendations apply:
- Stay home when you're ill.
- Regularly wash your hands with water and soap.
- Respect a safety distance of 1,5 meters.
- Don't shake hands and don't hug when greeting someone.

With some medical conditions, you're considered at risk and need to make a personal risk assessment.

Without your ticket, you cannot enter the concert.
We'll check your tickets at the doors, either printed or as a download on your smartphone.

Is there a problem with your ticket?
Then visit the Ticket desk (Vleeshouwersstraat 6) before the concert.

We open the doors 45 minutes before the concert starts to assure a fluent and safe trajectory through the concert venue.
Latecomers will be refused entrance to the building.
You'll keep a safety distance of 1,5 meters to other visitors and will need to remain in your 'bubble' at all times.

Our colleagues will control the respect of the guidelines and will usher you to your seat.

Beware: you cannot leave your seat until after the concert!

Remain seated after the concert

After the concert, you'll have to remain seated.
Our colleagues will give the necessary directives to allow a safe exit for all attendees.

In the concert halls, there are no toilets available. No toilets are available in the concert halls. Before or after the concert you can use the public toilets of the City of Mechelen and the restaurants facilities in the area.

Once seated, you can only leave your spot at the end of the concert (in the order determined by our staff).
Carefully consider this.

So keep this in mind beforehand.Take care of yourself and the others. Be kind.
