What does my ticket include?
Festival Pass and Festival Pass - Early Bird Rate
This is a festival pass that covers all events over all four days, and any additional fringe events, at all of our venues. Events run throughout the day and into the evenings.
It also gives you exclusive access to the private members club Kjarval throughout the festival.
DISCLAIMER: Please note that entry to events at our daytime venues and fringe event venues have limited capacity due to the venue size. For these events, a ticket does not guarantee entry. We strongly recommend arriving early to avoid disappointment. Our headline event venue is much bigger and your ticket WILL guarantee you entry.
Does this mean I won't get into events I want to go to?
Many city festivals work in this way, as was the case for Iceland Noir 2022 and no one was disappointed! Most ticket holders dip in and out of the programme and choose to explore the city, and even take day trips, during their stay. We strongly advise this! It's a long day of events and as the festival is in the heart of the city, there is so much to see and do.
How much do tickets cost?
A festival pass is 22.000 Icelandic Krona. Please note that our Early Bird ticket offer was limited to 50 tickets and these have now sold out.

I’m from the press - can I get a free ticket?
We are a small, volunteer run festival. We are only able to exist through money we make from ticket sales and some small sponsorship subsidies, with every krona that comes in going back into the festival. We do everything we can to keep our ticket price as low as possible and as such we don’t routinely offer free passes.
