The new meet-up area with festival feeling

Hände schreiben Autogramm

In our new Meet the Author area (Hall 4.1) you can meet your favourite authors, take a selfie with them and get a personal dedication. Thanks to fixed timeslots, which can be booked for free in advance, you’re guaranteed a chance to meet your star in person.

As you wait for this unique moment, relax in our lounges and interact with other fans. Or fetch a copy of a book to be signed in the area’s own bookshop!

Booking the timeslots for signing is free and will be possible from 9. October 2023.

The “Meet the Author” area

FAQs for visitors:

Do readers need a FBM ticket to book a timeslot?

Yes, you need a Frankfurter Buchmesse ticket before reserving a meet-up, because you’ll need a valid ticket number in order to register.

When will I be granted access to the meet & greet area?

Access to the actual queue for the meet-up will be two minutes before the start of the meet & greet.

What do I do if all the tickets for a Meet up are already fully booked?

If the Meet & Greet with the author is already fully booked, it is still worth keeping an eye on the booking tool, even on the day of the event, as there may be cancellations or no shows. We will also release the free slots in the booking tool shortly before the event.

Do I have to be there on time?

Access to the meet-up queue is only possible during the time listed on the ticket. Access after that – even if only one minute – will be denied for technical reasons.

Do I need a Frankfurter Buchmesse ticket to gain access to a meet-up?

Access to the “Meet the Author” area as well as all other stages is possible only with a Frankfurter Buchmesse ticket.

What do I have to do to get a meet-up with my author of choice?

First, please book a ticket for Frankfurter Buchmesse. Then book a ticket for your meet-up via “Meet the Author”.

Why do I have to book a Frankfurter Buchmesse ticket first?

The Frankfurter Buchmesse ticket must be booked in advance because the ticket number is needed to apply for the meet-up.

How many timeslots can I book?

You can book up to 4 timeslots per author for your friends/family.

How many people can wait in the queue per ticket?

Due to the short waiting time of max. 15 minutes, only the ticket holder or accompanying persons under 14 years of age may stand in the queue.

How many books can be signed per timeslot?

A maximum of 3 books or bookplates or similar may be presented for signing.

Please note: a separate slot booking is required for access to the signing area in the Meet the Author area and a maximum of 3 books can be signed per signing slot. The booking is free of charge - but only possible with an existing Book Fair ticket (the ticket number must be given when booking the slot). From 9 October 2023, the links to the slot booking for all authors listed in the programme will be available here.
