You are welcome to bring a friend who isn't studying in Kolding – read more in the section “Can I bring a friend to Kontur?”.

I haven’t received my student ID yet – can I still attend?
If you have not yet received your physical student ID, you can instead show your online student ID or your study app. If you have not uploaded a photo yet, you must also bring photo ID.

Do I need a ticket for Thursday?
No, Thursday you simply need to show your student ID at the entrance to the festival area. Friday requires a ticket.

Are Friday tickets sold out?
If the system says sold out, it generally means that tickets for your educational institution are sold out. On Wednesday, September 2nd at 12 PM, all unused tickets will be released to all educational institutions, giving you another chance to secure a ticket.

How do I exchange my Friday ticket for a festival wristband?
You can exchange your Friday ticket for a festival wristband at the entrance to the festival area. You can also exchange it earlier at the Campus Container in the campus area on Wednesday, September 2nd, from 8 AM to 3 PM. To receive your wristband, you must show your online ticket and student ID, and the wristband will be put on you immediately. To collect a wristband for your friend, your friend must be present.

Can I bring a friend to Kontur?
Yes, you are welcome to bring a friend to Kontur. Thursday you must arrive at the festival together, and you must show your student ID at the entrance. Friday you both need a ticket, and you must arrive at the festival together.

Can I bring my own drinks?
