Conference flat rates

Training fair, eyewear fair, conference or company event – the VELTINS-Arena regularly hosts events of the highest standard. Here, too, the range extends from a small trade fair in the event areas or on the promenades to a large trade fair right inside the arena. On average, more than 300 events have been hosted at the home venue of FC Schalke 04 in recent years.

First-class catering options, from “Brain Buffet” to “All in one pot”, are available alongside additional event modules that can be booked, such as table football or S04 mascot Erwin, if you want to establish a more relaxed atmosphere.

Box customers can also hold conferences or evening events in their boxes outside the usual times of use for a lumpsum service and provision price. Schalke 04 will be happy to provide you with an individual catering quotation.
