Zone upgrade
If you decide to take a longer trip than usual, a zone upgrade allows you to travel in zones outside the validity area of your ticket or travelcard.
If you plan to travel beyond the validity area of your ticket or travelcard, you can purchase a zone upgrade for the additional zones. Zone upgrades are available as short-duration tickets and day passes. These tickets can be purchased via the ZVV app, in the online ticketshop, from tickets machines or at a sales outlet in advance (single ticket that requires stamping).
