        What is the difference between priority weekend parking cards and regular weekend parking cards?

        Priority weekend parking cards are parking spaces directly at the entrance of the campsite, so a more favorable location and not so far away by walking to the festival. Be aware you can't camp at campsite 0. You can find a spot at one of other fields nearby.

        Regular weekend parking cards are placed further away, which means it will be a longer walk to get to the festival and your Campground. The regular weekend parking cards guarantee you a camping spot on Campgrounds 5 or 6.

        Am I allowed to bring my car trailer to the Defqon.1 parking?

        No, it is not allowed to bring your car trailer to the Defqon.1 parking. This is also not possible when you're in possession of a Premium Parking ticket. On the other hand, it is allowed to bring a Volkswagen Van. 

        What's the maximum height to park your car in the parking lots?

        We strongly recommend traveling to Defqon.1 with cars that have a height of less than 1.90 meters. Cars above this height are not able to park on the normal parking terrain and are therefore referred by the parking attendants to park in another designated area. From there, you will have to walk a longer distance to the entrance of Defqon.1. The maximum dimensions for the solar-carport area is: 4.4 meters length, 1,90 meter width, and 1,90 meter height.


        These maximum dimensions do not apply to the Priority Weekend Parking at campsite 0 and the Defqon.1 Park & Ride option. With Priority Parking, you will enter campsite 0 directly, and everyone using the Park & Ride will instantly gain access to campsites 1-4 through the Bus Entrance.

        Are there any charging stations available for electric cars?

        No, we do not offer any charging stations at the Defqon.1 Parking area.

        I couldn’t stop my membership before, why can I do this now?

        We agree things haven’t always been easy and we regret this. That’s why we’ve been working hard to fix the problems you encountered. If you became a DEDIQATED Member with us, you can now quit in a few steps. Just as easy as 1, 2 3…

        I’m DEDIQATED, but I can’t delete my Q-dance account. What’s up?

        Because you’re DEDIQATED and you pay upfront, you still have the right to all the DEDIQATED privileges for the term you paid for. However, if we delete your Q-dance account, you can't use these anymore. That’s why we need your approval via our Customer Support, to make sure you understand the consequences and accept the fact that you lose your remaining access to the DEDIQATED privileges.
