Dates: July 10 to July 26, 2020 - Daytime shows take place on Saturdays and Sundays, and evening shows are on Fridays and Saturdays. For day shows, grounds open at 11am and the parade starts at 1pm.
The arena show goes from 3.30pm to 5.30pm. The official program ends at 7.30pm.
The grounds open at 4pm and the parade (Festumzug) starts at 15.30. The arena show goes from 8pm to 10pm. The official program ends at midnight, but you can party on with the Barbarians’ Club if you want to stay longer.
A "Children’s' Knights' Tournament" - Kinderritterturnier - takes place in the arena just after each of the daytime performances.
On one Thursdayor Friday there is the hugely popular "Gauklernacht" - Jesters’ Night which features an army of 1000+ performers as colourful as they are flexible. It goes from 6pm to 2am.
The usual arena show doesn’t take place but there’s so much else going on you won’t even notice. Organisers call this night a "Symphony of Light and Fire". Cool!

Cost
*Tickets including admission and a seat for the arena show cost between €39 and €71, depending on how close to the action you are. 
*Tickets for the roofed royal Lodge cost more.
*If you can’t get a seat for the arena show, don’t worry! Admission to the grounds costs €29, where you can see the market, the parade, the concerts, everything really!
And you can stand at the back of the grandstands and watch the arena show anyway.
*Jesters’ Night tickets cost €33.
*Kids under 6 years get in free, but there’s no guarantee of a seat for the arena show. Tickets for kids 6 to 15 are €5 less than the adult tickets, except for the Lodge where they pay full-price.

*There’s also a 10 percent advanced booking fee and €1.20 service charge per ticket.
*You can book tickets online with the "Kaltenberger Ticket Machine" here. Keep in mind it's in German, but it's not so difficult to navigate - you can even pick your exact seats for the arena show.

Other Info:
*The tournament takes place regardless of rain, hail or surprise dragon attack but you’re asked not to use umbrellas in the arena because they annoy the people sitting behind you.
