Events in Gastein

Concerts may take place subject to compliance with various safety measures. The following applies:

• Basically, the 2-G rule applies
• An FFP2 mask must be worn during the visit - also in the open-air area and at assigned seats.
• It is also necessary to register when visiting.
• The events may last until 10 pm. Please check with the respective organizer if and under which conditions a planned concert will actually take place.

Please note that there are different rules depending on the maximum limit for events. Irrespective of the legal regulations described above, event organisers are free to decide on more extensive measures. Please inform yourself about the specific regulations before the event.

In Austria, 2-G ("vaccinated, recovered") is currently valid. Corona tests of any kind (PCR, antigen, antibodies) are no longer valid as proof of entry. Exceptions exist for children under 12 years of age: They do not require proof. There are also exceptions for children and adolescents of school age who have not been fully vaccinated or have not recovered. They are equal to 2-G status with regular testing as part of the "Holiday Ninja Pass".

Yes. For events with assigned seating, there are different maximum limits depending on the G-rule: maximum of 500 people if 2G rule, 1,000 people if 2G plus rule (with PCR test) and 2,000 people if boosted and tested negative (3 vaccinations plus PCR test).

To avoid crowds, the entrances to events are opened earlier (usually one hour before the event starts). For the exact times, please contact the respective event organizer. If space permits, several entrances are available for visiting an event.

The FFP2 mask obligation applies to all public areas in closed rooms. This includes, for example, public transport, cable cars, trade or museums. This also applies to vaccinated and recovered persons.

Should a visitor be infected with Corona, all visitors can be contacted immediately by the organizer in case of suspicion.

The State Sanitary Directorate strongly recommends that the contact details of visitors are recorded and kept for 28 days after the event. After four weeks, the contact data must be destroyed for data protection reasons. This is a justified data processing according to Art.6 para. 1 lit f DSGVO, as this serves to protect the health of the contact persons.

If you experience symptoms of corona after attending an event, please inform the respective event organizer immediately and contact a Doctor doctor. The organizer will contact all visitors immediately in case of suspicion.
