Passes (5-ride pass, 10-ride pass, season pass)

You can purchase our passes (5-visit passes, 10-visit passes, season passes) online and redeem them for regular tickets to events on-site.

Please note that these do not apply to special events (opening, short film breakfast, awards ceremony, silent film concert, etc.).

5- and 10-show passes and season passes (online and on-site):

1. 5- and 10-ticket passes and season passes can be redeemed for up to 5 or 10 tickets, respectively, or for all regular events (season pass), with a total value of up to €11.01, as part of the 40th Braunschweig International Film Festival. 5- and 10-ticket passes can be redeemed either individually for different events or collectively for a single event.

Season passes are non-transferable and cannot be redeemed simultaneously for screenings in the same time slot.

Holders of 5- and 10-ticket books and season passes must have a seat ticket printed at the box office or redeem it online for the desired event.

2. 5- and 10-show passes and season passes are not valid for special events (opening ceremony, concerts, short film breakfast, etc.). The season pass is also valid for the awards ceremony (including the party).

3. Please note: A season pass is non-transferable. The season pass is personalized with the holder’s photo and name, as well as a “verification sticker” (“Security Seal”). Please bring a (passport-sized) photo with you when purchasing the pass (or at the latest when attending your first event) so that the pass can be completed at the counter in the Astor or at the Pop-Up Space (advance sales only). Admission will not be granted without a photo ID and the corresponding ticket for the event.

Even season pass holders need a ticket for each screening and must present their pass at the entrance.

4. If an event is canceled—e.g., due to a technical malfunction—for which a ticket has already been validated, a replacement in the form of a free ticket for the 40th Braunschweig International Film Festival will be provided. No cash refunds will be issued.

5. 5- and 10-show passes are transferable. Season passes are not transferable.

6. Exchanges are not permitted.

7. No cash refund will be given for the value of any unused tickets.

8. Unused tickets will expire on November 16, 2026.

9. The General Terms and Conditions apply.
