Overview
- The Böhse Onkelz finished their 2026 tour at VELTINS-Arena with a 360-degree center stage and tens of thousands of fans on Saturday.
- VELTINS-Arena required personalized tickets and allowed entry only for the original purchaser who presents the original ID while photos or copies are not accepted.
- City and venue measures included early gate opening, onsite parking from 15:30, a signed bring-and-collect lot at Willy-Brandt-Allee, and shortened-interval tram service with free travel for ticket holders.
- Organizers made card payments mandatory inside the stadium and warned about heat with forecasts near 30°C after reports of long waits and heat-related medical cases at prior tour stops.
- Fans said strict ID enforcement plus a reported €10 per-ticket on-site name-change fee could create long service queues and risk people being turned away, a worry reinforced by accounts from Leipzig and Nürnberg.
