IN-PERSON FESTIVAL PASS FAQ
How do Festival Passes work?
Your Festival Pass gives you access to all ticketed in-person CAF24 events at Chapter. As a passholder, when the events go live, you'll be able to log into your account via Chapter's website and book tickets to any events you'd like to attend, free with your pass. You can do this at any time after events go live – but we advise booking as soon as possible to avoid disappointment as events will sell out!
An in-person festival pass will also give you half-price access to the online festival events.
What if I change my mind after I collect my tickets?
If you can't make it to an event you've collected a ticket for, please return it to Chapter as soon as possible. You can do this by emailing ticketing@chapter.org, calling them on +44 (0)29 2030 4400 or visit their Information Desk in venue to let them know). This means your ticket for that event can be released so another festival-goer can enjoy it.
If you decide you want to go to any events you didn't book tickets for in advance, you can go to Chapter's Box Office and collect a free ticket for that event with your Festival Pass, if there are still tickets left.
What if an event is sold out?
All ticket holders need to be in their seats 5 minutes before the event/screening begins, because if the event is sold out, we will allow pass-holders to take any remaining seats on a first-come-first-served basis.
Can I buy tickets to individual events if I don't want a full pass?
Yes - tickets for individual events will go on sale when our full programme and festival calendar is released in March.
I'm only coming for a day or two – can I buy a day pass?
We can't offer day passes, so for those who are only able to attend one or two days of the festival, we recommend purchasing individual tickets for each event you want to attend. These will be available when our full programme and festival calendar is released in March.
How much will individual tickets cost?
We keep our tickets and passes as low-cost as possible to try and be as accessible as we can. Tickets for individual events will cost between £6 and £8.
Is there a booking fee?
For online bookings to events in-person at Chapter, you'll incur a £1 booking fee with each transaction, however you can avoid paying this multiple times by booking all of your tickets in 1 sitting, therefore only paying £1 extra in total.
Group Bookings
If you're coming to Cardiff Animation Festival as part of a university group or other big group of 10 or more people, speak to us about group booking discounts - just drop us an email to festival@cardiffanimation.com, let us know a bit about your group and how many people you expect will be coming.
