Special Notes Regarding Performances at Tegel Prison:
Due to the unique nature of the venue, attendance at these events is only possible with prior personal registration during advance ticket sales. When purchasing tickets, the personal information of all attendees must be provided: last name, first name, date of birth, and registered address. Tickets are therefore non-transferable and valid only for the named individual.
Admission to the prison on the day of the performance is granted only upon presentation of a valid ID card or passport.
Attendance at the performance is generally permitted for those aged 18 and older; for those aged 16 and older, admission is permitted only upon presentation of a written consent form from a legal guardian; and for those aged 14 and older, admission is permitted only when accompanied by a legal guardian.
Valuables such as cell phones, keys, money, credit cards, etc., as well as food, may not be brought into the facility. Lockers are available at the entrance area; a 1€ or 2€ coin is required to use them. Due to the small size of the lockers, please do not bring large luggage.
