FACTS does NOT ask additional fees for tickets.
The price of the ticket is the price on the final payment.
*These are the online prices. If you decide to buy your entry tickets at the entrance, the prices will be higher.
Children under the age of 11 on the day of the festival may enter FACTS without a ticket or registration.
These minors still need to be accompanied by a paying adult, of course.
The accompanying person of a wheelchair patient or blind person can enter for free. Be sure to check the FAQ page for more detailed information in this regard.

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 Forest 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 flying My Little Pony 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 October 20th, 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, EXCHANGED, RESOLD OR CANCELLED.
You can find the general terms and conditions here.

- Standard Weekend
- VIP Saturday / Sunday / Weekend
- Fast Pass
NO PRINTS NEEDED
Part of my protocol dictates that I have to keep Earth tidy, much like my cousin Wall-E, so that is what I’ll do. And you can help me! Go green with your tickets and have them scanned on your phone by our crew at the entrance. There is no need to print your tickets. Just make sure that there are no cracks or other deformations on your screen.
Wait, people carry around wounded droids? WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU TAKE THEM TO AN ENGINEER!
