As for anyone who had tickets to the 2021 edition, those tickets can be exchanged for next year according to ticketing team member Sabrina Schmidt.
"As before, we will offer our visitors a choice: They can exchange to 2022 or request a payout. Last year, well over 90% of fans opted to exchange to the following year and we are confident that we can continue to rely on the loyalty and trust of our fans. Those who want to support us additionally can also get some new fan gear during the process, which is only available as part of this exchange."
