Ticket sale
You can buy separate tickets for each event or a passe-partout for all events during the whole weekend. Separate ticket prices range from 12 euros to 25 euros and a passe-partout is 40 euros. However, if this price keeps you from buying it, you can also choose to buy the tickets for a reduction of 50 percent. And for students, there is a special offer of 15 euros for a passe-partout. The festival is generously supported by Erasmus School of Economics and the Royal Dutch Economic Association, which celebrates its 175th anniversary this year.
