Member Village

Do you want to enjoy the Greenfield Festival in a more relaxed and comfortable way without missing out on the festival feeling? Then the Greenfield Member Village is the right place for you!

Here you get more space, more comfort and exclusive amenities - all just a guitar's throw away from the Jungfrau Stage. Be in the thick of it instead of just being there but with that little bit extra!

Attention secondary ticket market!

Buy your tickets only through the Greenfield Festival's authorized booking offices, as professional and private resellers increasingly see a lucrative business in buying tickets through the official advance booking office and then reselling them at high mark-ups. This harms artists, organizers and audiences alike.

To protect yourself from overpriced tickets or counterfeits, we strongly recommend that you only buy tickets via the official advance booking offices and never on websites of so-called secondary ticket market platforms such as Alltickets, Viagogo, Onlineticketshop, Worldticketshop, Vienna Ticketoffice, Ticketbande, Ebay, Ricardo and many more.

Drug consumption is illegal and prohibited on the entire festival site. Drugs will be confiscated by security staff at the entrance and handed over to the police.

Among the many visitors to the festival, there are always those who spare no opportunity to prey. Theft by cutting open and removing tents or reaching into bags is their specialty.

They shamelessly exploit a lack of attention and carelessness. Police and security cannot protect you everywhere and at all times.

The best protection is you!

Help and protect yourselves, keep your eyes open and report suspicious persons or conspicuous behavior. Security, police and info points will help you.

Opening hours of the Interlaken police station

Monday to Friday 09.00 - 17.00
Saturday 08.00 - 16.00
Sunday closed

Here you can raise your concerns or file reports. In principle, reports can be made at any police station in Switzerland. Certain reports can be submitted online: https://suisse-epolice.ch/epolice/

Remember!

Take as few valuables as possible to the festival.
Deposit your valuables in the valuables depot at the entrance to the concert grounds or always carry them on you.

The hassle of theft always costs the victim a lot of time and quickly several hundred francs. Thieves make easy prey in the tent. Report every theft

In the event of an emergency, contact the emergency services or the nearest festival employee immediately. Emergency doctors and paramedics are always present in the medical tents. The medical center is located on the camping site (24h operation).

In the event of severe weather, we recommend that you seek shelter in your vehicle. Please also pay attention to festival visitors who have traveled by public transport and give them shelter if necessary.

The security checks at the entrance to the campsite are carried out with increased care, which takes more time. It is therefore worth arriving early and only taking the essentials with you.
