Deutsche Bahn – German Rail – Mobility Services for Big Events

For all Eventualities

The Deutsche Bahn Event Ticket guarantees seamless mobility both on and off rail. Attractive conditions and tailor-made mobility packages offer associations or corporations and fair, meeting or event planners benefits for their events.

Staging a business event is often a challenge for organisers: Hundreds of attendees need to be transported from all over Germany and neighbouring European countries to the venue – comfortably, quickly and conveniently.

Deutsche Bahn can shoulder a major part of the organising burden by providing for one-stop delegate travel to and from the event. This offer is tailored to each individual event and the needs of all parties. The Event Ticket includes expert customer support by a personal Deutsche Bahn contact – “one face to the customer” from start to finish of the event. A win-win situation for all parties: No matter from which station your attendees start their journey, the ticket price is the same for everybody. This gives organisers more calculation and planning certainty in addition to offering travellers great value for money and individual options for travelling to and from the event location.

What many people don’t know: Beyond travel to the destination we Deutsche Bahn ensures a smooth transfer of all attendees to the hotels and event venues. For this purpose Deutsche Bahn uses its own bus service.

Even for exclusive events planners are well prepared: Apart from a fleet of over 1,500 carsharing vehicles Deutsche Bahn’s own chauffeur service offers customers 100 trained drivers, top-of-the-range vehicles and individual comfort nationwide.

If you want to go green, Deutsche Bahn is also the perfect choice: On average, rail travel only generates one-third of the carbon emissions caused by road transport, and less than 30 per cent of the carbon produced by flying. So, with the Event Ticket any organiser can contribute to climate protection.
