Registration, i.e. creating a festival profile, is required to get accredited for this year’s festival, whether you choose the free or paid version.

You can also use your profile before the festival to create a personalised event calendar of selected film screenings or reserve seats at such screenings (this applies to cosmic accreditations only). These features will be available from 18 April 2024.

Please log in to your profile on this page if you have previously created one, or register to create a new one. Select one of the accreditation options, and before attending the first film screening, pick up your accreditation card at the Festival Centre at Konvikt (UP Arts Centre), Metropol Cinema or Fort Science. It will allow you access to the festival programme (except for concerts in Geodome, which are accessible with the Music is Science accreditation). You can pick up your accreditation card on the following dates and times:

• Arts Centre of Palacký University | Konvikt – Univerzitní 3 | Carolina – 1st floor
  Tuesday 23 April / 8 AM to 10 PM
  Wednesday 24 April – Saturday 27 April / 9 AM to 10 PM
  Sunday 28 April / 9 AM to 4 PM

If you have one of the cosmic accreditations, the same dates and times apply but the pick-up spot is at the Guest Service on the third floor of Konvikt.

• Metropol Cinema | Sokolská 25 | Vestibule
  Tuesday 23 April – Sunday 28 April / you can pick up basic accreditations always 30 minutes before each film screening from the festival programme
• Fort Science | Artillery depot, 17. listopadu | Reception
  Tuesday 23 April – Friday 26 April | 9 AM to 5 PM
  Saturday 27 April – Sunday 28 April | 10 AM to 6 PM

⚠ MUSIC IS SCIENCE AND COSMIC ACCREDITATIONS CAN ONLY BE PICKED UP AT KONVIKT! ⚠

You can get accredited for the AFO festival for free; however, you can purchase the music programme accreditation or one of our special cosmic accreditations, which come with special benefits. The sale of cosmic accreditations ends on 21 April 2024.

AFO has three basic types of accreditation:

1) Free festival accreditation – it will allow you access to the Festival Centre, all films, lectures, guided tours, panel discussions and the AFO Junior programme within the capacity of the particular venue.

2) Music is Science accreditation – an additional accreditation to be purchased for CZK 500–700 in addition to the basic accreditation to access the entire music programme – four evenings and ten concerts in the Geodome at Konvikt’s Courtyard Garden. You can find the complete line-up here. Provided the capacity of the event allows it, you can purchase tickets for individual evenings for CZK 300 directly on-site at our AFO Shop.

3) Cosmic accreditation – for a one-time amount of CZK 1,200 / 2,200 / 3,500, you will get the option to reserve seats at the festival’s events.

The music programme accreditation supplements the basic accreditation or can be purchased at a discounted price together with the cosmic accreditations. It gives you access to all the AFO59 concerts taking place in the Geodome at Konvikt’s Courtyard Garden. You can find the complete line-up here. If you have the basic free accreditation, you can still access the afterparties with DJs in the Geodome.

The online presale of Music is Science accreditations starts on 18 March 2024 and ends on 22 April 2024. Provided the capacity of the event allows it, you can also purchase the accreditation directly on-site, either collectively for the entire music programme or for individual evening events.

• Early Birds | 18 March – 2 April 2024 | CZK 500 for 4 evenings | online
• Presale | 3 March – 22 April 2024 | CZK 600 for 4 evenings | online
• At the festival | 23 – 27 April 2024 | CZK 700 for 4 evenings | AFO shop
• One-Night Ticket | 24 – 27 April 2024 | CZK 300 | AFO shop

There are two seat reservation options at AFO:

1) For events labelled “Reservation required”, anyone who has already created a festival accreditation for AFO59 can reserve their seat through their festival profile.

2) Holders of cosmic accreditations can reserve a seat in the majority of the programme events after logging in to their profile. Each event shows how many places are still available in the venue. 

⚠ Important info ⚠

• Reservations can be made, changed or cancelled only up to two hours before the start of the particular event.
• Each reservation is valid only up to 10 minutes before the event starts. If not redeemed by that time, the reservation is forfeited and the vacant seats are offered to visitors without a reservation.
• The reservation system will be available from 18 April 2024.
• Not all seats at the venues can be reserved, and we always leave some of them open for visitors with basic accreditation.

If you’re planning to visit our festival and don’t have an email address (e.g., if the visitor is a child), just come by the Arts Centre of Palacký University or Metropol Cinema where we will create an accreditation for you in person.
