For those printers and packaging folk who intend travelling to drupa next year (31 May to 10 June 2016) tickets will be available online from 2 January 2016 at www.drupa.de. Provided as e-tickets, they will save time and money.
Visitors can buy the tickets online and print them on their own printer or download as a code and then travel to the show free of charge by bus and train. Furthermore, the e-ticket is much cheaper than any ticket bought on the day.
Visitors who want to come to drupa for more than one day also profit from the online offers.
