Von Kl Redaktion

The upcoming concerts of Rammstein in the Veltins Arena not only attract the band fans, but also the interest of road users and residents in Gelsenkirchen. From July 26th to 31, 2024, a total of five sold -out concerts will take place in the arena on Schalke, whereby up to 70,000 visitors are expected per event.

The influence on traffic in Gelsenkirchen

The fans' arrival could lead to a significant traffic density in and around Gelsenkirchen. The residents fear possible disturbances in the usual road traffic. In order to master the associated challenges, traffic planners and the city administration are required to develop suitable solutions in order to make the rush of visitors as smoothly as possible.

public transport connection: an environmentally friendly alternative

With a strategically favorable connection, public transport is a valuable alternative arrival for fans. The direct access to the Veltins Arena takes place with bus line 302 from Gelsenkirchen Central Station, whereby the travel time is about 15 minutes. Visitors can avoid traffic jams on the streets and at the same time travel more environmentally friendly.

parking and fee structure

For those who arrive by car, around 14,000 parking spaces are available to park the vehicles. However, the parking fees are to be enjoyed with caution. While some parking spaces are free of charge, the parking garages 2, 3 and 4 charge a fee of 30 euros. In addition, a fee of 5 euros per vehicle is due in parking zones B to E from two hours before kick -off. It is advisable to enter the respective parking addresses in the navigation system to avoid stress.

Additional options for arriving

The use of "Park and Ride" options is another consideration for fans who want to avoid traffic. For the Rammstein concerts, the parking lot of the zoom adventure world is also to be considered, with current information about the availability. The announcements of the arena keep arriving up to date.

bicycle journey as a sustainable option

Another environmentally friendly incentive for visitors is the opportunity to reach the Veltins Arena by bike. About 600 parking spaces are available there. This option not only promotes health, but also helps to reduce the rush to the parking spaces.

Overall, the upcoming Rammstein concerts in Gelsenkirchen show the great influence of such major events on local traffic flows and the infrastructure. Both the organizers and the city administration work to create a pleasant atmosphere for everyone involved, be it through suitable arrival options or by providing alternatives for residents and road users.
