Dark Emergency 2026 - Early Access Option

What is the purpose of the Early Access Option?

This additional option allows you to arrive one day before the official start, giving you time to set up your camp and get in the mood for the event.

Note for Platinum Club Customers

The Platinum Club access ticket is expected to be available in the online shop on September 28, 2025. The Platinum Club access ticket already includes an Early Access Option. Therefore, we advise all players planning to attend with a Platinum Club ticket not to purchase the Early Access Option at the start of sales.
