- Locally tickets can be bought from RMV, e.g. from vending stations at most stations in Darmstadt
- When you are in Darmstadt you can also use the Heinerliner, which is a ride pooling service bookable via an app (similar to Uber). They have a drop-off point at Kanthplatz which is next to the venue. If you have a foreign train ticket from Deutsche Bahn you even apply for a discount for a travel from and to Darmstadt Hauptbahnhof.
