Price increase for Autostadt Key”: visitor experience at risk?
Wolfsburg: Price changes for the Autostadt 2025 annual ticket spark discussions among visitors and emphasize the close VW connection.
Price increase for Autostadt Key”: visitor experience at risk?
In Wolfsburg, the connection between the city and Volkswagen (VW) is almost inseparable. The “Autostadt Wolfsburg”, an extensive theme and adventure park covering 28 hectares, attracts around two million visitors every year. Everything here revolves around mobility and the history of the automobile. But now a price increase for annual tickets is causing unrest.
How news38 reported, the annual pass, which will be called “Autostadt Key” in the future, has now become more expensive after 24 years of stable prices. Families have to dig particularly deep into their pockets here: the price increases from 70 euros to up to 200 euros. The decision to adjust the prices was considered necessary by the Autostadt in order to keep the quality of the visitor experience at a high level.
Reactions to the price change
The increase in annual ticket prices has already led to some negative reactions on social media. Many visitors are dissatisfied with the price adjustment and express their dissatisfaction. Understandably, this particularly affects families, who now have to plan even more if they want to visit the Autostadt. The Autostadt itself strives for understanding and is in dialogue with visitors in order to take their concerns seriously and find solutions.
However, the new “Autostadt Key” offers an expanded range of services with additional discounts and benefits. In addition, there are valid discounts for certain groups such as the unemployed, trainees, schoolchildren aged 18 and over, students, people with disabilities and seniors aged 60 and over. Admission is still free for children under 6 years of age, so families are not completely left out here either.
A visit to the Autostadt
A view of the Autostadt is always a look at the history of the Volkswagen factory, which was founded in 1938 and continues to be a mainstay for the city of Wolfsburg today. The settlement that was previously known as the “City of the KdF-Wagen”, which was grouped around the factory, developed into a vibrant city with many facets. Today around 61,880 people are employed at the Volkswagen factory. At its peak it was the largest factory complex in the world and is still an important industrial symbol of the country.
A walk through the Autostadt allows visitors to experience the development of automotive technology up close and learn about the history of mobility. On this journey from the beginning to the latest developments such as the planned “Trinity” electric car project, it becomes clear how much the company has developed over time.
For anyone who has questions about the new annual pass, the Autostadt email address is available key@autostadt.de available for information. Of course, those interested can also find answers in the FAQ Autostadt website.
Overall, it remains to be seen how customers will deal with the new prices. As the Autostadt emphasizes, they are in dialogue and strive to offer the best possible visitor experience.
