festival passes

This year we are introducing flexible pricing for festival passes, with four different tiers to better reflect the varied economic realities of our audience. We hope that this model will expand access to the festival while also opening up the opportunity to further support transmediale for those who can afford to do so.

We kindly ask you to consider which tier best corresponds to your circumstances and possibilities. We operate on a trust-based model and will never ask anyone if the tier they chose is appropriate.

Supporter – €140
For those who can and want to give a little extra to sustain independent cultural production and help subsidise lower-cost tickets.

Standard – €115
Our regular and recommended ticket price, in line with the last festival editions.

Reduced – €90
A lower price for those who need a discount on the regular ticket price.

Concession* – €65
For anyone with limited means.

*for example those who are unemployed, pensioners, students, those officially serving national voluntary service, those receiving social welfare. If you are unable to afford the Concession price but would still like to attend, please consider the option of volunteering. If this is not an option for you, please get in touch with us at tickets[at]transmediale.de
