Proffessional equipment are cameras with interchangeable lens with a focal length above 50 mm, additional exchangeable lenses, camera bags and tripods.

At the entrances, all visitors are checked for prohibited items, in addition to the card control. This is done by body checking and under certain circumstances with metal detectors.

- What is the difference between the lower tier, the upper tier and the interior?
The lower tier of the arena is the original stadium, before it has been extended in 1993. The below stand comprises about 5.500 seats. The upper tier is the upper stand, subsequently installed together with the convertible roof on the lower tier. You can compare the seats there with the seats on the balcony of a theatre. You have to climb about 100 steps to reach the upper tier. The interior is the tennis court. Here, either a seating is set up for concerts or the standing room is located there.
- Is there an elevator to get to the upper tier?
No, there is no elevator.
- Can the arena be heated?
Yes, the arena may be heated. In 2005 a heating system has been installed with infrared emitters and windblockers. However, there still remain areas which can not be protected completely against draught, due to the open construction type of the arena.
- Boxes-what is it?
The boxes are placed in front of the actual rows in the lower tier.
During the tennis tournament these are mostly sold as complete package as week- or weekend boxes incl. VIP-Catering.
For concerts, the boxes are available as standard entrance tickets. In blocks A, B and H however, these are preferentially sold in connection with the VIP packages.
The number of boxes is reduced during events taking place on the elevated sports floor (Handball, Volleyball...). Due to the floor foundation, the boxes at the longitudinal sides C and G cease to exist. Boxes then are only available at the short sides and in the corner blocks.
Almost all boxes comprise six seats. These are not numbered! In the box, you always can CHOOSE your seat FREELY!
