As many of you probably know, we have organised the festival on a donation basis so far, to enable everyone to attend regardless of their financial means. Unfortunately, donations have steadily declined in recent years – in 2024, the average donation was only €4 per visitor. At the same time, it was particularly difficult to obtain funding this year, probably due to the overall tense economic situation. We have therefore decided to sell regular tickets for the festival for the first time this year in order to cover our rising costs. We are introducing a three-tier pricing system, where everyone can decide for themselves how much they can and want to spend on their ticket. If you prefer paying in cash, you can reserve tickets via phone at the KoKi or buy them at the box office.
