Buying a Festival Ticket
The best way to enjoy the Festival is to purchase a day or weekend pass. Being a passholder means you can wander freely between events and decide spontaneously each day which events you’d like to attend.
Subject to availability, we release single tickets for many events closer to the Festival. However, single tickets may not be available for some headliners, nor for popular speakers in smaller venues.
Please note that all day and weekend passes exclude workshops, as workshop tickets need to be purchased separately.
