A service desk will be set up in the hall where you can go with questions. The exact location of the service desk will be announced at a later date when the floor plan is released. It will also be available on the website.

Everyone who enters (and therefore has a ticket) automatically enters the draw for a Base set booster using their ticket number. The draw will take place on both Saturday and Sunday.

How does it work?
Each ticket has a unique number that we will use for the draw. The draw will take place at the large screen on the stage. If you are not present at the time of the draw, we will of course contact you by email!

We recommend having your QR ticket open on your phone and bringing plenty of enthusiasm!

First, check whether the email (sent by noreply@experiencesapp.com) has ended up in your spam folder. If not, the email will be sent (again) 48 hours before the start of the event.

Are you unsure whether everything went well? Please feel free to contact us via WhatsApp or email. For this, also see the contact page.
