  • The main difference is in the duration of your stay: you can buy Tickets for five days ("Dauerkarte") or for one day ("Tageskarte").
  • Tickets will be issued as eTickets. To display them, you will need a smartphone, the Katholikentag app (published in March 2026) and a “My Katholikentag” account. An alternative are paper tickets.
  • Katholikentag tickets are expected to include a ticket for WVV (Würzburger Verkehrsbetriebe AG). However, at this point in time, no definitive statement can be made regarding the specific area covered by public transport.
  • Our tickets do not automatically include accommodations. If you need a place to stay, you will have to book your place additionally. Accommodation can only be ordered with five-day-tickets (“Dauerkarte”).

These discounts apply for both five-day-tickets and single-day-tickets.
  • if you are between the ages of 12 and 25 inclusive you can order the encouragement ticket (“Mutmach-Ticket”), a 5-day ticket
  • You may be eligible for financial support ("Förderkarte") if you currently receive Grundsicherung or Bürgergeld, if you have applied for asylum or are a refugee. Förderkarten are only available for five-day-tickets.
  • There are special family 5-day tickets ("Familienkarte") for two adults and at least one minor under the age of 25 available.
  • Children under the age of 5 need neither a ticket for the Katholikentag nor for public transportation. Children between the ages of 5 and 11 don’t need a Katholikentag ticket, but one for public transportation.
  • If you book before 15 March 2026, you will receive a discount on several (though not all) types of 5-day tickets.
