WHAT TO EXPECT?
AUTOGRAPHS AND SELFIES
Unless otherwise announced, all star guests will be available at their table for autograph signing and selfies (ticket required) on all event days, except while they are in the photo shoot, on stage or on their lunch break.
The autograph and selfie tickets can be purchased in advance online in our shop or on site at our information stand.
Usually there are no fixed autograph times. If there are fixed times for some guests, these are shown accordingly.
All guests have a large selection of photo motifs to sign (for a fee), but of course you can also get signed your own items you bring with you.
YOUR DIGITAL PHOTO
Would you like to receive also a digital copy of your photo ops next to the print out version? No problem. A few days after the event you can order your digital images HERE
PHOTO OPS WITH THE STAR GUESTS
Photo Ops gives you the opportunity to pose with your favorite stars and take a professional photo together with them. You will receive your photo printed out on high-quality photo paper just a few seconds after the shoot.
If you wish, you can even get an autograph from your favorite star on your photo afterwards. Such a memory couldn't be more perfect.
A separate ticket is required for the photo shoot and the autograph. The autograph must be obtained at the guest's signing table. Tickets can be purchased on site at our sales counter or online in advance in our shop.
QUESTION & ANSWER PANELS ON STAGE
In various panels and Q&As, the star guests get on the big stage during the event days and answer questions: They talk about current projects and fans have the chance to ask their very personal questions.
Attention: Not all stars are necessarily on stage on all days of the event!
MEET & GREETS
Depending on the star guest, we offer different types of Meet & Greets: “Meet & Greet” and “1:1 Meet & Greet”.
At a normal meet & greet, you meet your star privately in a small, intimate group. The meeting takes place in a separate room and lasts approx. 20-25 minutes, depending on the size of the group. There are a maximum of 25 participants per group. Usually there are a maximum of 10 per meet & greet, often even less.
A "1:1 Meet & Greet" lasts 3 minutes per ticket. Here you can meet your star privately in a separate area, just you and your star - without any other fans!
After the conversation, you will also receive a selfie with your star.
ENTERTAINMENT & PROPS
Get ready for cool props and backdrop replicas, film cars and fan groups that present special attractions at their booths. Of course, you can also take lots of photos on site and ask any questions you may have.
SHOPPING
Looking for something exclusive for yourself or unusual gifts? In the dealer halls you will find lots of varied items: merchandise, figures, Funko Pops, toys, posters, films, books, comics, collectibles and much more.

TICKETS AND BOX OFFICE
Not quite sure which ticket or extras you need and when? Here you will find many answers to the most frequently asked questions.
What do I definitely need?
You will definitely need an admission ticket, as this is the only way you can gain access to the event. Children aged 0–5 have free entry and do not need a ticket when accompanied by a parent or a legal guardian. Children and teenagers aged 6–15 may only attend the event when accompanied by an adult and require their own entry ticket. From the age of 16, visitors may attend the event without an accompanying adult.
HELP, my name is on all tickets!
Don't worry, if you order several tickets for yourself and your family or friends and your name is on all of those tickets. The tickets are transferable and are not personalized. This means everyone will get in, even if all the tickets include your name.
Are there also weekend tickets available?
Unfortunately, we do not offer weekend tickets. So if you would like to attend the event on both days, you can easily secure a day ticket for Saturday and Sunday separately.
Do children also need an admission ticket?
Great news: Children aged 0–5 have FREE ENTRY and must be accompanied by a parent or responsible adult. No ticket needed.
Children and teens aged 6–15 must attend with an adult and require their own ticket.
Attendees aged 16+ may attend without an accompanying adult.
Do disabled people with badge B in their ID need an entry ticket?
Severely disabled people with badge B and accompanying persons require an entry ticket.
Do I have to print my ticket?
The ADMISSION tickets do NOT have to be printed and can also be shown on your cell phone. The only important thing is that the QR CODE is scannable.
Tickets for the stars such as AUTOGRAPH TICKETS, SELFIE TICKETS, M&G tickets or PHOTO OP TICKETS have to be printed and are not sufficient on your cell phone.
When will the extra tickets for autographs, photo ops, etc. be available in the shop?
As soon as a guest is announced, the corresponding extra tickets are usually released for sale at the same time.
Is there also a daily box office?
The event is sold out. There will be no box office tickets available on-site.
Buying Tickets from Private Sellers – What You Should Know: Unfortunately, ticket scams and fake tickets are becoming more common at sold-out events.
Here you can find important information and warning signs to watch out for when purchasing tickets from private sellers.
How can I download my tickets?
After your purchase, you will receive an email from Eventbrite with your booking confirmation and a link to your customer account. Please log in to your Eventbrite account or the Eventbrite app and download your tickets from your account under “MY TICKETS.”
If you continue to have problems loading your tickets, please contact Eventbrite directly.
What is a Fast Lane Ticket?
With the Fast Lane wristband you have priority access via a separate lining, the FAST LANE, to the stars' autograph tables and to the photo ops.
The FAST LANE PASS does not include autograph or photo op vouchers!
The Fast Lane Pass does not include entry to the event. This means you also need a separate admission ticket.
I would like to have a selfie / autograph / photo / meet & greet – what do I need?
If you would like to take part in a photo op or get a selfie with a star at the event, an autograph or take part in a meet & greet, you will need a separate ticket for that in addition to the admission ticket.
Each star has their own shop where you can buy your desired extras such as AUTOGRAPH TICKETS, SELFIE TICKETS, PHOTO OP TICKETS or MEET & GREET TICKETS. You can find the respective shop above under GUESTS. Simply click on the TICKETS button for your favorite star. Make sure you buy your tickets for the correct day. This means, e.g. if you attend the event only on Sunday, you will of course also need the STAR EXTRAS for Sunday.
When will it be announced which stars will attend the German Stranger Con?
The stars are announced gradually and may also be revealed up until shortly before the event.
Group shoots – Is it also possible to take a group photo with several stars?
Yes. We provide a selection of suitable duo and group shoots in a separate shop. Please note, however, that you always need the right ticket for this. This means it is not possible to attend a duo shoot with two individual tickets and redeem them.
Does each person need a ticket or can you take a photo with several people?
Yes, each person who wants to be included in the photo needs their own ticket. This means, for example, if you and a friend want to take a photo with a star, you both need a photo op ticket for the respective star. You will then take two photos in the photo box and you will receive two printouts after the shoot.
What about children and accompanying persons at photo shoots etc.?
Children and people accompanying disabled people with trademark B also need their own ticket for selfies, photo ops, autographs or meet & greets.
Do the voice actors also offer autographs, selfies, photo ops or voice messages?
Yes, they do. Tickets for voice messages, autographs and selfies from the voice actors are usually available on site at the respective tables of the guests. If tickets are also available online, each guest will have their own shop, like all other guests.
Is it possible to buy extras for the guests on site?
Yes, if the tickets for individual stars and slots are not sold out, the tickets are also available on site. As a rule, you can buy the extras at the guests' tables via cash or otherwise at our sales desk by card payment. However, we always recommend buying the tickets in advance in our online shop. Tickets are always a little more expensive locally plus you save yourself the stress of getting the tickets on site.
