Taylor Swift in Gelsenkirchen: This is how the journey succeeds in the concerts!

From July 17th to 19th, the Veltins-Arena in Gelsenkirchen becomes the scene of an important musical event when the world-famous singer Taylor Swift will appear there. Such major events not only attract a variety of fans, but also make special requirements for the transport infrastructure and the arrival planning.

traffic flow and accessibility of the Veltins-Arena

With a capacity of up to 70,000 people, the three concerts of the US pop icon are likely to lead to a significant increase in traffic in Gelsenkirchen. It is therefore important that visitors find out about the best travel options in advance. The most important motorway connections to the arena are:

• A2: Exit 6 (Gelsenkirchen-Buer)
• A2: Exit 7 (Herten)
• A42: Exit 16 (Gelsenkirchen-Zentrum)
• A42: exit 17 (Gelsenkirchen-Schalke)

public transport as a stress -free alternative

Visitors who want to avoid the pressure of parking can fall back on public transport. Line 302 from Gelsenkirchen Central Station to the “Veltins-Arena” stop offers a quick connection and only takes about 15 minutes. It should be emphasized that the use of VRR means of transport is often included in the admission price at many major events, as well as football games in the arena.

parking and costs

A total of 14,000 parking spaces are available for those who want to travel by car. However, it should be noted that the fees for parking on parking garages 2, 3 and Medicos are 30 euros. In the B-E parking spaces, fees of 5 euros per vehicle will be charged from two hours before the start of the event. Visitors should also enter their destinations in the navigation system in good time:

• Parkplatzen A, B, C1, C2, C3 and cinema center "Adenauerallee 110"
• parking spaces D1, D2, D3, D4, E1 and E2 "Willy-Brandt-Allee 50"

bike as an environmentally friendly arrival option

Another aspect that is becoming increasingly important today is the environmentally friendly journey by bike. Visitors to the concerts have the opportunity to park their bike, with around 600 parking spaces available in front of tunnels 1 and behind the East cash register. This is not only sustainable, but also a practical option for many fans.

conclusion: well prepared for the concerts

The concerts of Taylor Swift in the Veltins-Arena not only promise an unforgettable experience, but also a challenge for the logistics on site. The planning of the journey, be it by car, public transport or bicycle, is crucial to make the visit as pleasant as possible. In view of the numerous measures for the transport organization, both the city of Gelsenkirchen and the management of the arena will do everything possible to offer guests a positive experience.
