“What does the Bremen Classic Motorshow 2027 offer, and what does a ticket cost?”
Where the classic year starts.
From 5 to 7 February 2027 more than 730 exhibitors fill eight halls in Bremen. A day ticket costs 20 euros online, 22 at the gate.
The short answer
- The Bremen Classic Motorshow 2027 runs from Friday 5 February to Sunday 7 February, daily from 9am to 6pm at Messe Bremen.
- It is the 25th edition; the fair has run since 2003 and covers more than 52,000 square metres across eight halls plus the multi-storey car park.
- Entry is 20 euros online or 22 euros at the box office, and children up to and including twelve get in free when accompanied by an adult.
The German classic-car year has a fixed running order: Bremen first, then everything else. In early February, when nobody moves a convertible by choice, the Bremen Classic Motorshow opens for three days and sorts out the prices, the projects and the priorities for the season ahead. 2027 is the 25th edition.
What the Bremen Classic Motorshow is
Not a glossy show with concept cars, but a marketplace. The organiser describes it as a meeting point and marketplace for classic vehicles "since 2003", and the motto is "Klassiker & Leidenschaft" — classics and passion. Most of what stands there is either for sale or looking for a spare part.
The numbers behind the format: more than 730 exhibitors, dealers and private sellers from ten countries, over 100 clubs, more than 46,000 visitors, across more than 52,000 square metres in eight halls and the multi-storey car park. The organiser gives the visitor figure without naming a year, so read it as an order of magnitude rather than the result of one particular edition.
One ticket is good for one visit. Leave the grounds and it stops being valid, and discounts cannot be combined with each other.
The halls and what sits where
The layout has stayed stable over the years, and it is worth studying before you set off, because eight halls are a day's work.
| Hall | What is in it |
|---|---|
| 1 | Motorcycle special show, two-wheeler market |
| 1.1 | Classic Custom Motorcycle Lounge, classic bicycles |
| 2 | Club presentations |
| 3 | Autojumble, models, literature, tools |
| 4 | Cars for sale, restoration trades |
| 5 | Car special show, cars for sale, prize-giving |
| 6 | Cars for sale, young classics, trade forum, clubs |
| 7 and 8 | Autojumble |
| Car park | Vehicle market |
The autojumble across three halls is the real reason many people make the trip. The vehicle market in the car park is the layer below the dealer stands: private cars with a note behind the windscreen.
The 2027 special show: Europe's V8s
The anniversary year's car special show is called "Europas V8 – Supercars mit US-Herz" — Europe's V8s, supercars with an American heart. It looks at European sports and luxury cars that were fitted with American V8 engines from the 1950s into the 1970s. Marques named include Iso, Bizzarrini, Monteverdi, Facel-Vega and DeTomaso: exactly that mixture of Italian or French bodywork and Detroit displacement that has become hard to see anywhere today.
Alongside it the standing themes continue: Modern Classics, a V8 special, the "Rote Liste" of endangered vehicle types, the young-restorer section and the Petromobilia auction. The exhibitor directory for 2027 is announced for December 2026.

What entry costs
Every ticket is cheaper online than at the box office. All prices include 19 per cent German VAT.
| Ticket | Online | Box office |
|---|---|---|
| Day ticket | €20.00 | €22.00 |
| Two-day ticket | €32.00 | €35.00 |
| Day ticket, reduced | €18.00 | €20.00 |
| Family ticket | €49.00 | €52.00 |
| Late ticket | €10.00 | €10.00 |
| Child ticket | €0 | €0 |
The late ticket ("Feierabendticket") is valid only on Friday or Saturday from 3pm. The family ticket covers two adults and two children aged 13 to 17 inclusive on one day. The child ticket applies up to and including age twelve, only with an adult holding a day or two-day ticket, and a maximum of two per order. Reduced covers pupils, trainees, students and people with a degree of disability of 50 or more, each against proof; a companion with the German "B" mark enters free, but only at the box office. ADAC members can get a discount code through the club.
Getting there and staying over
Messe Bremen sits directly behind the main station. For a navigation app the organiser gives Theodor-Heuss-Allee, 28215 Bremen. The grounds are outside the low-emission zone, so a green sticker only matters if you drive through the city centre.
The organiser explicitly recommends public transport or the park-and-ride options. With 46,000 visitors over three days that is practical advice rather than an environmental appeal. Coaches park at the Torfhafen in Eickedorfer Straße. There are no special parking spaces for classic cars; the organiser says so plainly in the FAQ.
If you are coming from the south or the east, stay the night. February in Bremen means dark by five, and three halls of autojumble do not fit into four hours.
What to bring
| What | Why |
|---|---|
| Cash | Autojumble and private sellers; not every stand has a card reader |
| Tape measure and torch | You do not judge used parts from two metres under hall lighting |
| Vehicle papers or part numbers | Whether it fits is decided at the stand, not later at home |
| Rucksack or sack trolley | A carburettor carries differently across eight halls than you think |
| Comfortable shoes | 52,000 square metres of concrete floor |
Where Bremen sits in the event year
Bremen is the opener, not the peak. If you want to buy, go in February, while the season has not started and the prices still know it. If you want to drive, wait.
The Essen Motor Show falls two months earlier and is the counterpart: tuning, motorsport and power instead of patina and spare parts. In May the Race 61 at Finowfurt opens the season on track, and in September the Hindenberg Speedway runs oval races on sand. Every date is in the event calendar.
