K 2016: [email protected] saves time and money
Online ticket shop open as of now
Customised offers for travel and accommodation
Tickets for K 2016 from 19 to 26 October are available online at www.k-online.com as of now. The eTicket offers dual benefits, as it saves time and money. Visitors can purchase their tickets online, print them out on their own printers or download them as codes, and then travel free of charge to the trade fair by bus and rail. The eTicket is also much cheaper than tickets bought on site. The 1-day ticket thus costs EUR 49, while the price over the counter in Düsseldorf is EUR 65. The 3-day ticket can be had for EUR 108 online, and for EUR 135 over the counter.
Anyone still looking for accommodation during K 2016 is well advised to make use of the services of Düsseldorf Marketing & Tourismus GmbH (DMT). This subsidiary of the city has the best overview of the hotels and private rooms available in Düsseldorf and environs during the world’s No. 1 trade fair for the plastics and rubber industry and will help you make your booking. Incidentally, the pressure in the hotel sector has eased further. Within Düsseldorf’s boundaries alone, some 1,000 new hotel beds have been created in the last few years, and in the neighbouring cities (e.g. Essen, Krefeld, Mönchengladbach and Wuppertal) these are joined by another 900 beds. In the Düsseldorf region, roughly 79,000 hotel beds are currently available. DMT has put together its entire package of services for K 2016 online, so a mouse-click is certainly worthwhile: http://business.duesseldorf-tourismus.de/messe/K/.
On top this comes an attractive offer from Messe Düsseldorf, Deutsche Bahn and DMT specifically for visitors to K 2016 from all over Germany: the price of the special return ticket (tied to specific trains and as long as stocks last) to Düsseldorf is:
• EUR 99, 2nd class
• EUR 159, 1st class
This offer is available online for about three months before the fair opens.
K 2016 is open daily from 10.00 am to 6.30 pm. All admission tickets entitle the holder to free travel to and from the fair by bus, tram/metro and trains within the VRR and VRS integrated transport systems (2nd class, surcharge-free trains only). Further information on the transport network can be found at http://www.vrr.de and www.vrs-info.de.
At K 2016, over 3,000 international exhibitors will be presenting their latest developments in the areas of machinery and equipment for the plastics and rubber industry, raw materials and auxiliaries, and semi-finished products, technical parts and reinforced plastics. Some 200,000 trade visitors from all over the world are expected at the trade fair.
