Update on the National Bag Ban

NATIONAL BAG BAN UPDATE

The Swedish Police has provided updated rules and regulations concerning the national bag ban, applicable to DreamHack Winter. You can find below a list of answers to questions you may have.

DAY VISITORS: 1 DAY OR 3 DAY

You are NOT allowed to bring any bag to the venue if you have any of the following ticket types:

  • 3 Day Pass
  • 3 Day Family Pass
  • Friday Pass
  • Friday Family Pass
  • Saturday Pass
  • Saturday Family Pass
  • Sunday Pass
  • Sunday Family Pass

Exceptions may be made for people who, for medical reasons, need to bring a bag into the public event/general gathering. Exceptions may also be made for people with children who need a diaper bag. Bags that are allowed must be checked by authorized personnel.

No, you cannot. All bags or holders, outside of diaper bags and medical bags, are not allowed.

Our ruling on what is and what isn’t a bag is final. Please be respectful towards registration personnel if they deem an item that is not allowed in the venue.

DreamHack Winter offers no available wardrobe storage solutions. You cannot bring any bags to the venue.

No. Unfortunately, as per instructions and requirements from the Police, 3 day visitors are not allowed to bring bags to our festival, nor Racketcentrum. We understand and apologies for the inconvenience this may cause. Those who would have joined us in the sleeping hall, you can email support@dreamhack.com for more information. Make sure to clarify that you intended to utilize the sleeping hall so we are aware of your issue. 

If you were given a bag inside the venue you are allowed to keep that bag. But if you leave with the bag, you will not be able to return inside with the bag again. It must be left outside the venue.

We are still working with the Police with this matter. As soon as we have a final decision, we will update our FAQ and all other information channels.

Yes but you cannot bring it into the festival inside a bag. 

You are able to visit your children from Friday to Sunday in the LAN when you pick up a parent bracelet from registration.
