COVID-19 FAQ

In order to make the visit of Elevate Festival as intensive, but also as safe as possible, we have developed a guideline for dealing with COVID-19.

If you have any symptoms of the coronaviurs we ask you and to take a COVID-19 test before visiting the festival, regardless of your vaccination status.

3G & 2G PROOFS AND REGISTRATION

Our audience is required to provide proof of a so-called "low epidemiological risk" at all venues and events. As proof of this, the 3G rule (tested, vaccinated or recovered) applies at all venues, with the exception of the Orpheum, Kombüse and Parkhouse venues, where 2G applies (vaccinated or negative PCR test result).

Please have the required documents ready for presentation in the entrance area of the venues, otherwise we cannot grant you access to the events.

To avoid long lines at the designated registration locations, we ask for independent registration via the Elevate app. The proof of a successful registration need to be presented at the check points.

There are QR codes for each venue on site. This QR code can be scanned with the Elevate app or another QR code scanner and will then redirect to the registration form for the respective location on the Elevate website. After entering the data, the check-in can be made for the location and is then valid. A check-out is also possible, but not mandatory.

Of course, for those who do not want to use the smartphone, there is also a list to enter the data at all locations.

Even if a valid ticket is already available, a registration must still be made on site.
