Please note
  • Wearing an FFP2 mask is no longer mandatory in all public areas and at events. This also eliminates the need to require a PCR test that is no more than 48 hours old from all participants instead of an FFP2 mask requirement. Of course, the mask can still be worn voluntarily, it is still recommended.

  • Since there is a limited number of seats in Ceremonial Hall 2, the “First Come First Served” principle applies when choosing a seat.
