A tip from STOAG: You can save real money with the KirmesTicket, which is available for 8 euros and is only available in advance in all STOAG customer centers and in all STOAG advance booking offices. Because the price not only includes the return trip by bus and tram within Oberhausen, but also 14 fairground vouchers for the whole family. 

If you still don't want to do without your car entirely, you should head for one of the park-and-ride facilities at the Landwehr, at the main train station or on Werthfeldstrasse. STOAG wishes all visitors to the Corpus Christi fair a pleasant journey and lots of fun!
