Ticket machines

Many of our tickets are available for you 365 days a year at any of our VGF ticket machines.

You can only make cashless payments at some ticket machines. Nevertheless, there is at least one machine at each of our stations that accepts cash. Our cashless machines are usually located on the outbound platform.

The blank chip card for buying season tickets from the machines is available in our TicketShops, VGF-Service-Centers and in the Infobus. Here you can also register the necessary proof of eligibility to purchase the Student Ticket Hesse or tickets for the Frankfurt-Pass directly.

You do not need a chip card to buy single or day tickets; these are printed out on paper.

Available payment methods include: Cash, debit card (EC card) or credit card (VisaCard, MasterCard and AmericanExpress).

You can also use our brochure and our explanatory video, which sets out in detail how to buy tickets from our ticket machines.
