Is the Tempodrom barrier free?
Yes. There are 16 disabled parking spaces on the square in front of the Tempodrom where visitors can park on presentation of a disability ID card. The entrance to the foyer is 20 metres away. From the foyer, visitors can reach the Upper and Lower Circles and the manège via a lift. There are also disabled toilets in the Lower Circle. It is recommended that visitors enquire in advance with the Ticket Hotline about the location of disabled seating. You can reach the Ticket Hotline by telephone on 0180 555 4 111 (EUR 0.14/min.).

Is it permitted to bring guide dogs?
Yes. However, it is not possible to sit in any place of your choice if accompanied by a guide dog. There are designated seats for visitors with guide dogs at all public events. The precise locations of these seats vary as the seating arrangements for each concert/show are not always identical.
In order to bring a guide dog, you should therefore purchase a ticket for a wheelchair user seat.
In this connection we would draw your attention to the following: the Tempodrom does not sell tickets but acts only as a landlord, solely letting space to event organisers. The respective lessees (i.e. concert organisers, etc.) are then responsible for tickets, advertising, marketing and execution of the given event. As such, all questions relating to the sale of tickets are essentially a matter for the respective organiser. It is not permitted to bring other animals into the Tempodrom.

Is there a cloakroom at the Tempodrom?
There is a cloakroom (Lower Circle) where you may leave personal items (jackets, bags, etc.) during the event at a charge of EUR 1.50 per item.

How and where can I buy tickets for events?
You can buy tickets from the Ticket Hotline on 0180 555 4 111 (EUR 0.14/min., max. EUR 0.42/min. from mobiles) or at any advance ticket sales desk.
