From 1st to 4th July 2010, the cream of the international rock scene will be performing again at the Rock Werchter festival park.

Live Nation, the SNCB and De Lijn join forces to carry you in a smooth way to the festival site. Your train journey and bus ride with De Lijn to the festival site in Werchter are actually included in your ticket.

Not all the festival tickets are a valid SNCB ticket. Below you will find a survey of all the different types of festival tickets and the accompanying terms of use.

E-festival tickets
Ordinary admission tickets

E-festival tickets

If you buy an e-festival ticket for Rock Werchter, then you also need a free e-train ticket. An e-festival ticket is not a valid SNCB ticket. Your e-train ticket allows you to travel one outward journey and one return journey in second class between your Belgian departure station (*) and the station of LEUVEN. You are also allowed to use a bus of De Lijn between Leuven station and the festival site. Outbound departure is possible from Thursday 01/07/2010 until the (last) day of validity of your e-festival ticket. The return journey is possible until Monday 05/07/2010 inclusive.
(*) Attention: travellers who have Brussel-Nationaal-Luchthaven as departure or destination station have to pay the Diabolo fee.

An e-train ticket is always personal, so it is not transferable, not exchangeable and it cannot be cancelled. Order your e-train ticket only if you are sure about the passenger's name.

You always have to present your e-train ticket spontaneously and together with your ID-card, as well during the outward journey as during the return journey.

How do I order my free e-train ticket for Rock Werchter?

You can only order a free e-train ticket as from 02/06/2010 and if you already have an e-festival ticket for Rock Werchter. Each Rock Werchter e-festival ticket contains a personal SNCB code (beginning with the number zero, the letter i and the number fifty-one). Each SNCB code entitles you to one personalized e-train ticket. You can order your free e-train ticket for Rock Werchter on the site of "SNCB Ticket on line".

In the confirmation e-mail with your e-festival tickets you will find a link to "SNCB Ticket on line". You cannot find your confirmation e-mail? Don't worry, because as from 02/06/2010 you can also click through to "SNCB Ticket on line" (there you have to click on the “Buy your Ticket” button).
