With the festival, the campingground was also completely sold out, byt a second camping are is found and will be opened.
“That was quick. It only took 10 days, and we were sold out in most of the Special Camping areas. We had to do something, and we did it.
Metalheads, the Special Camping pre-sale last month sold like hotcakes.
We are thrilled that our Special Camping products were so popular, but we are also sad that many of you missed out this time.
We had to do something, and we were able to reorder some tents for the Residenz Evil and TE.N.T. area.
In addition, there will be a new tent called HELLS BELL LITE in Residenz Evil.
All this and some forgotten products from unpaid shopping carts will be available again from Friday, 31/01/2025, 10 am (CET) on Metaltix.
Your W:O:A-team“
The 2nd round of Special Camping starts on Friday, 31/01/2025, 10 am (CET) on Metaltix.

A total of 85,000 tickets were sold for Wacken Open Air 2024.
German hard rock legends SCORPIONS headlined this year’s edition of Wacken Open Air, which takes place annually in Wacken, a village with a population of just about 2,000.
The first Wacken Open Air event in 1990 drew less than 800 people, but it has since grown to become the biggest open-air festival of its kind.
Around 30 percent travel from other countries to the festival, which over recent years has been growing in popularity.
Wacken Open Air was forced to take a break for two years due to coronavirus restrictions.
Wacken Open Air normally does not announce the names of its headliners before tickets go on sale. Still, the festival usually sells out within hours.
The festival also doesn’t sell VIP access or upgrades and all purchases are for all the days without a single-day ticket option, something they did away with two decades ago.
