Next show: Frankfurt 2027 - June 5-6 · Messe Frankfurt, Hall 1
All dates up to 2029 are locked in - two shows a year
Trading Night
The weekend starts on Friday night, before the halls even open. Doors at six, trading until midnight - the biggest Trading Nights in Europe.
The night before the show
CARDMADNESS runs on Saturday and Sunday. The Trading Night is the Friday evening before it: doors at 6:00 PM, and it goes until midnight at the latest.
That is the whole idea. No booth to man, no opening bell to beat, nobody packing up around you - just collectors, tables and trading, a full night before the halls open. Food and drinks are available all evening.

Good to know
Free, but you have to claim it
Every CARDMADNESS ticket holder can secure one free Trading Night ticket. It is a ticket of its own - a show ticket alone does not grant access.
Food and drinks
Catering is open all evening. You do not have to leave the room to eat.
Bring your cards
The evening is about trading face to face. Binders, top loaders, a pen - that is all you need.
Free tickets, strictly limited
Registration opens shortly before each show, and we announce it by email to every ticket holder and on our social channels. From that moment, visitors and table holders alike can secure one free Trading Night ticket - first come, first served, and they go fast.
