Wacken Open Air has officially sold out its entire 2026 ticket allocation. Organisers of the German metal festival announced the sell-out just days before the anniversary event begins.

The 35th Wacken Open Air takes place from 29 July to 1 August. Those who didn't secure a ticket can buy passes released by other attendees through the official Ticket Market system.

A controlled secondary market reduces the risk of fake tickets and unauthorised mark-ups, while keeping the organiser connected to the ticket's new owner.

Summary

Every ticket for Wacken Open Air, beginning on 29 July, has sold out; remaining admission is only available through the official Ticket Market.
