You can choose between our 4-Day Festival Pass and the 1-Day Festival Pass. With the 1-Day Festival Pass, you will have access to all main events on your chosen day. If you prefer flexibility, opt for the 4-Day Festival Pass and come and go as you please.
Our Early Bird 4-Day Festival Pass is now on sale (click here to purchase yours). Regular ticket pricing for our 4-Day Festival Pass, along with the 1-Day Festival Pass, will be released together with the full programme announcement on Tuesday, 18 August 2026.
Please note that neither pass includes entry to separately ticketed special programmes such as Special Events, Masterclasses, or Cultural Workshops.
All Festival Passes are available through our official ticketing platform. Please note that payment gateway fees may apply at checkout. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us via email or via WhatsApp.
During Festival week, from Monday, 27 October to Sunday, 2 November 2025, Festival Passes can also be purchased in person at the Festival Box Office, located on Jalan Raya Sanggingan in Ubud (view on Google Maps).
