Yes, but the number of vouchers that each person can redeem is limited to the number of days of the fair.

If you have received a voucher, the ticket is free of charge to you because the exhibitor who invited you to the fair is paying for it. Because the exhibitor is only charged for the ticket when you pass through the turnstiles to attend the fair, there is no need to cancel or inform our ticket service if you do not use the ticket.

Each person needs to register separately to order a ticket.

If multiple vouchers for 1-day tickets are used to order tickets to attend the fair on more than one day, the name of the person placing the order will appear on all the tickets.

If various people want to use vouchers for 1-day tickets, each person must register separately.

Important: Because Print@home Tickets are only valid for a specific individual and are not transferrable, you may be required to present an official photo ID at the fair.

If you accidently use the same name for multiple tickets, please contact us by e-mail: registrierung@messe-muenchen.de

If you receive a message with this system-generated text, your order was not processed. However an earlier or a later order may still have been successful. The process may have been interrupted for one of the following reasons:

• Timeout: After a standby period of 30 minutes, the ticket system interrupts the ordering process for security reasons.
• At the end of the ordering process, you did not click on “Order now,” which completes the order.
• You used the Back / Forward button in the browser during the ordering process, which resulted in complications. To move to the previous or the next page, please only use the Back or Forward button on the order form.
