Tickets

Where and when do I get my ticket?

After paying the invoice, you can view all your events via your account under "Tickets & Rooms", download your conference ticket and have it digitally scanned on site with your smartphone or tablet. To do this, select the "CloudLand 2026 event" and click on "Tickets and details". If you still prefer a physical ticket that also serves as a name badge, please print it out yourself in advance and bring it with you. We will provide you with suitable sleeves including a lanyard on-site. If you use your ticket on your smartphone, make sure that your smartphone is always sufficiently charged. You can find out how to access your account in the Account section (see above).


I can't download my ticket. What do I have to do?

Your ticket will be available to download from May. If the ticket download has not yet been activated, this may be for the following reason: Has your ticket already been paid for? If this has not yet happened, please make the payment as soon as possible. You can also pay for your ticket on-site at the cash desk, although you should allow a little more time during peak times. Your ticket will only be activated once it has been paid for. If this is not the case, please contact our customer service.

I would like to book several tickets for my colleagues. What do I have to do for this?

Ideally, your colleagues will book their tickets for CloudLand independently via their own account. If this is not possible, you can purchase as many tickets and hotel rooms as you like and then assign them to individual colleagues and manage the collective order in your user account. A user account is required for ticket allocation – it is not possible without one. Your colleagues can register here and then view and edit their event information in their own account.


I have booked tickets for several colleagues, but these tickets are not stored in their accounts. What can I do?

If you have placed the order for your colleagues, you can manage the collective order in your user account. Please note that the tickets will only be activated after payment. If this step has already happened, please contact our customer service.
