Registration and booking information
Registration for new users
You want to use the music rooms for the first time? Then please register via this form.
For ETH members
We will confirm your successful registration by e-mail within a few days. After receiving this e-mail, you will have access to the music rooms with your ETH-Legi via the scanner at the doors of the rooms.
External users
If you are a guest at ETH or an external user and do not have an ETH-card, you will receive a badge for access to the rooms. You can pick up the badge directly after your registration at the secretariat during opening hours. You will need to pay a deposit of CHF 50 for the badge, which can be paid in cash, by TWINT or by card.
Booking of a room
Before you can use a music room, you must reserve it online. With an active reservation, you will then be given access to the booked room with your ETH card or your badge. Online booking is a prerequisite for access to the room.
For the booking, you must have your name, e-mail, mobile number and Legi/badge number ready.
At the end you will receive a confirmation email with the booked time slot. Please arrive punctually at your booked time in the respective room and open it with your Legi/badge.
A fee is charged for each reservation (for students this is CHF 1 per hour, or CHF 5 per hour for the band room during opening hours). A semester fee is payable from the first reservation in the semester (for students this is CHF 25 per semester).
Higher rates apply for non-students.
Please always adhere to the terms of use.
