G’day, citizen of the FACTS Nation! By golly, it sure is nice to meet someone from the Below-World. My name is FRANK-E, the newest ticket-bot in town. FACTS’ Cloud District, that is!
Flux The Tinkerer instructed me to guide you to this magical festival in Flanders Expo, on April 5-6, 2025, and help you through its many pop culture activities, shows, guests, and Geek Market stalls. Oh just thinking about it makes my wings flap like a jolly phoenix post-flames.
Let’s gallivant through these web pages to find you some shiny, spit-polished activities to do, and amazing guests to meet. Then we’ll see which ticket types will be most fit to give you the pop culture experience of your dreams. Or does ‘the ticket choose the fan’, perhaps?
Anywho, you will have a splendid time! Are you ready for a whiff of magic?

For a full overview of all activities, I advise you to navigate the menu at the top of every page.
Because there is A LOT more to do at FACTS, and much more to experience than we can tell you here.
Have fun!
Navigating to FACTS
Since you humans don’t have a jetpack built in your lower crevice, you are allowed to navigate to the outer rims of the FACTS Cloud District through various means. Let me give you a few examples!
1. Public transport
Tram 1 will take you from the Ghent Sint-Pieter train station to the entrance of FACTS.
Buses 76, 77 and 78 is also known to take humans to the venue with all limbs intact.
A tram or bus ride is not included in a FACTS entry ticket.
2. By car
You can leave your TIE Fighter, TARDIS, Elytra or My Little Pony wings on the parking facilities of Flanders Expo, which can be accessed directly via Exit 14 of the E40 motorway (Brussels – Ostend).
Parkings B & C will now be working with license plate recognition instead of parking tickets. The price for parking is 10 euro during the FACTS weekend. The parking prices are not the decision of FACTS. These parking lots are owned by the City of Ghent and their earnings are for the city.
These humans can enter FACTS for free.
- Children who have not yet reached the age of 11 on the day of the festival. That means that, for example, if a child has his 11th birthday on November 2nd, they will need a ticket. They of course have to be accompanied by a paying adult. No prior registration or ticket is required. If there’s risk of doubt, bring a proof of age to avoid discussions at the scanning post.
- The accompanying person of a wheelchair patient or blind person. Be sure to check the FAQ page for more detailed information in this regard.
FACTS TICKETS CANNOT BE REFUNDED, RESOLD OR CANCELLED.
You can find the general terms and conditions here.
