Please provide the following information when booking:
- Official number plate of the vehicle
- The driver's mobile phone number
- The driver's language (10 languages available)

- Logistics service requested (yes/no),
if yes, the logistics service must be explicitly booked with service partner Schenker Deutschland AG via the service portal - Desired date and time
VisiFair offers the advantage of digital control of the capacities available in the loading bays and time windows (slots). This means: You will receive the desired slot if free areas are available. This procedure will prevent long waiting times and heavy traffic around the trade fair grounds on set-up and dismantling days.
After the booking has successfully been made, you will receive your entry ticket. All booking data is visible on this ticket. It also contains the QR code required for entry and a route to the booked loading zone.
VisiFair provides flexibility in the booking process. The booking can also be made immediately even without driver data and license plate information. In that case, the system generates a reservation voucher. This can be changed or completed at a later date (when all details are available).
Messe Stuttgart provides PCs at the Check-in (truck pool), where changes can also be made on site.
Entry and exit
The entry ticket, in digital or in paper form, must be shown for entry and exit of the premises.
- Entry
At GATE 2, a pre-registration (scan of the QR code) is carried out by the security personnel employed. Before entering the booked loading zone, the entry ticket is scanned again at the TLP (separation loading zone parking lot). This scan starts the loading or unloading time assigned to the vehicle. - Exit
15 minutes before the end of the booked time slot, the system sends a reminder text message to the stored mobile phone number, with a request to leave the loading zone in time. When leaving the loading zone, the entry ticket is scanned again. This completes the loading and unloading process. The exit from the trade fair grounds is via GATE 1. - Re-entry into the loading zone
After the booked time has expired, a re-booking is required for each entry and exit.
Parking after loading or unloading
After exiting the respective loading zone, free parking is available within the exhibition grounds for temporary parking (until 20.00). The truck pool in front of GATE 1 and GATE 2 is not available as a parking space during set-up and dismantling operations. For truck parking during the event, please contact the Central Security Office (Hauptwache) staff.
