Lanxess Arena

Arena

Capacity: 18,500

Lanxess Arena is one of Europe’s most recognizable multi-purpose arenas, built for big moments—from headline concerts to major sports and spectacular shows. Its striking dome-like profile and smart interior layout make it easy to reconfigure, while a capacity of up to 20,000 seats keeps it firmly in the top tier for touring productions and large-scale events.

Inside, the experience is unmistakably “arena”: powerful sound, large video screens, and modern staging keep the focus on the performance, with strong sightlines across different sections. Visitors also appreciate the practical comforts—bars, restaurants, and service points—paired with clear signage that helps you move around smoothly.

The micro-location is a real advantage: Willy-Brandt-Platz 3, Cologne, Germany. Entrances are arranged around the plaza next to the building, and it’s a short walk from the nearby Bf Deutz/LANXESS arena stop; if you’re driving, you’ll find parking options in the surrounding area of the complex. For the broader picture of getting around the city, see the description below.

Frequently asked questions

What is the capacity of Lanxess Arena?

Lanxess Arena in Cologne has an official capacity of 18,500 seats. This gives spectators a wide range of options, from premium seats closer to the action to upper rows with panoramic views. The atmosphere during big events depends on how full the lower sectors are. Booking tickets early is recommended — the best-view sections sell out fastest.

When does the event take place?

The event is scheduled for Saturday, 22 May 2027 at 6:00 PM local time in Cologne. The local start may differ from your time zone — being near the venue two hours before start is recommended for security checks and getting your bearings. Doors typically open 60 to 90 minutes before the start. If you're traveling from abroad, factor in arrival time given local public transport and possible congestion.

How much does a ticket cost?

Ticket prices for this festival start from Check price via Viagogo and other verified partners. The exact price depends on the sector, seat category (standard, premium, VIP) and demand which rises closer to the festival date. The amount includes platform fees and mandatory buyer protection. The cheapest tickets are typically in distant sectors, while VIP and premium tickets cost several times more. Final price and currency are displayed on the seller page after seat selection.

How do I buy tickets through Karlobag.eu?

Clicking the "Buy tickets" button opens the page of our partner Viagogo where you can safely complete the purchase. Karlobag.eu is not a ticket seller — we aggregate offers from verified partners and help you find the best price. We do not charge buyers any additional fee; the price you see is charged by Viagogo directly.

Can I cancel or resell my ticket?

Cancellation policy depends on the partner where you bought your ticket. Viagogo offers an authenticity guarantee — if the ticket doesn't arrive on time or isn't valid, you get a full refund. Cancelling regular tickets isn't permitted. Resale is only possible if the partner explicitly allows it. Check the terms before purchasing.

How do I get to Lanxess Arena?

Lanxess Arena is located in Cologne. Most major venues are accessible by public transport — bus, tram, metro or commuter rail typically run to the nearest station. We recommend arriving at least 60 minutes before the start. Detailed information about the location, nearest airport and hotels nearby is available in the venue section on this page.

What happens if the event is postponed or cancelled?

In case of postponement (weather, security reasons), tickets typically remain valid for the new date that the organiser announces afterwards. If the event is cancelled entirely without rescheduling, Viagogo processes refunds according to their own policy (usually within 7-14 days). Check the status directly on the seller's portal — they notify you by email as soon as a decision is known.

Are the tickets authentic?

Yes, all tickets sold via the verified partners we work with (Viagogo, SportEvents365, Ticombo, StubHub and others) come with an authenticity guarantee and refund if the ticket isn't valid. If a ticket isn't authentic, doesn't arrive on time or is refused at the gate, the partner covers a full refund under their terms. We work with verified partners and ticket sale or resale platforms operating in accordance with applicable European regulations.

How do I receive my ticket after purchase?

Most tickets today are electronic — they arrive by email as a PDF or as a mobile ticket saved in your digital wallet. For purchases more than 7 days before the event, the ticket typically arrives within 24-48 hours after payment, while late purchases often arrive within hours. Physical tickets are sent by courier when the partner explicitly states so. If you don't receive your ticket on time, contact partner support (Viagogo) via your user account.
