Buying a pass essentially allows you to gain a free ticket to each event/screening (excluding workshops, Animated Connections Conference and Animation Nation Forum), HOWEVER, we do only allow you to pre-book guaranteed tickets for 3 events per day in advance, we then allow passholders to queue outside events for any spare seats on the day.
Allowing you to pre-book means that you have the guarantee that you can get into some of the events you want to, but ensures that everyone has a fair chance at some of the bigger events; and also makes sure that we don’t have empty cinemas as a result of people booking in everything and not attending.
All ticket holders need to be in their seats 5 minutes before the event/screening begins, because if the event is sold out, we allow pass holders to take any remaining seats.
We also ask that if you don’t think you’ll use your ticket, that you cancel it in your account and book onto something else.
Yes! We recommend all people experiencing the festival with a festival pass aim their bookings for the Mon-Thu of the festival. Sunday is aimed at more of a general public audience who may only want to attend one event. Passholder ticket allocations for Sun will be much more limited on these days so we highly advise that you arrange your trip around the Mon-Thu programming.
Check out the programme online then buy your passes online through the links above, once you’ve bought your pass and are logged in – book via the links on our website! REMEMBER you can only pre-book 3 events a day. Workshops, Animation Nation Forum, and the Animated Connections Conference are not included.
When you arrive at the festival we’ll give you a physical pass with a unique QR code on it which has all of your bookings tied to that code. Simply flash your pass at the events you’ve booked, and we’ll scan you in on entry; the process is exactly the same of any events you may queue for on the day – if there are available seats we’ll scan you in.
For sure! The online programme will run 15-30 November, and will consist of screenings, masterclasses and more. Check out our FAQ’s for more info on that.
You have been taken to Eventive, our ticketing system for the festival, don’t panic just complete the process as normal. You can book event tickets either via our website (recommended) or via Eventive once purchased. Just make sure you are logged in!
An ANF + Festival Pass gets you full access to every event at the festival (excluding workshops). So that is access to everything that a Festival pass gives you, plus full access to the Animated Connections Conference and the Animation Nation Forum.
Demand was high last year for the ANF and as the event grows it is becoming more business to business focused. There are plenty of industry events, talks and panels at the Festival to enjoy with a Festival pass.
