Ticketing

Ticket price should never be a barrier to enjoying art. Each EAF event has three ticket price tiers, to suit a range of visitors:

→ Standard: For standard price entry to Festival events.
→ Solidarity: For those going the extra mile to support EAF, with a £21-for-21st Edition ticket.
→ Access: For those who would benefit from a discounted ticket, such as d/Deaf, Disabled, or low income visitors — no questions asked.

Refunds
Please note that tickets cannot be refunded or exchanged, except in exceptional circumstances when an event is cancelled by EAF.

Latecomers
EAF advise guests to aim to arrive 10 minutes early to events to account for Festival season traffic and to avoid missing anything. EAF aims to be flexible with the admission of latecomers, but, to avoid disruption to artists and audiences, latecomers will not be admitted to the following events:

→ Linder: A kind of glamour about me (gates close at 6.15)
→ Raven Chacon: Voiceless Mass
→ Lewis Walker: Bornsick
→ Lewis Walker + Michele Occelli: MOVE HYPNO Workshop

Please note that EIBF x EAF events will adhere to the Edinburgh International Book Festival’s ticketing policy.

Age Restrictions
Due to the provision of alcohol in some venues, some EAF events are 18+. Guests may be asked to show proof of age at the door. If unable to do so, guests may be unable to enter the event and tickets cannot be refunded. 

Getting Around Edinburgh
We encourage EAF visitors to explore the city by bus, tram, or foot where possible — both due to environmental solidarity and Edinburgh’s increased Festival season traffic. 

We encourage visitors to leave an additional 15 minutes for travel where possible due to traffic, particularly in Edinburgh’s busiest central areas. Trams will run a 24-hour service on weekends in August.
