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.
