Greetings, citizen of the FACTS nation! I am T.I.C.K.E.T. That’s short for ‘Trusty Information Companion, Keeping Earth Tidy’. I was repurposed by Faestvil the sorceress to accompany you to the festival in the magical FACTS Forest, full of movies, series, video games and other cool pop culture phenomena from across the multiverse.
She also gave me a soul! Having a soul is so confusing! Is this what you call excitement? How do your circuits not explode ALL THE TIME? Anyway, resuming.
Below, I will give you practical info, a good overview of what kind of tickets you can buy, and what the FACTS festival will offer on October 22-23, 2022. Just thinking about it makes my vents spin harder than a space ship in a black hole. Haha, you should see those suckers go!
Read before the deed
Become a VIP!
Oh boy, Faestvil the sorceress told me about this one.
It’s like going to a Jedi council meeting, but with gold plated R2-D2’s. Fancy!
The VIP pack contains – on top of the benefits mentioned in the ticket module above– the following extras:
- Entry at 9 am instead of 10 am. That’s a one hour head start on the other merchandise and autograph hunters!
- Fast Pass for photoshoots. Show your VIP badge, skip the waiting and get that picture RIGHT AWAY!
- Fast Pass for signing sessions. Same thing for signing sessions. Screw waiting, let your dreams come true NOW!
- Access to FACTS through a special VIP Entrance. See the pattern here? No more waiting in line for you!
- VIP parking spot for the chosen day(s), near the VIP Entrance. Coming to FACTS in style!
- Exclusive FACTS VIP badge and lanyard. Please, no VIP gang signs… No throw it up, we’re kidding.
- Reserved front row seats for actor panels. You’ll be so close that you can count the nose hairs of the actors. But please don’t.
- Access to the VIP lounge. Enjoy a little bite & drink (no, BAD vampire!) with an amazing view over FACTS on the balcony in Hall 1.

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 Forest through various means. Let me give you a few examples!
1. Public transport
Tram 1 will take you from train station Ghent Sint-Pieters right to the FACTS doorstep at Flanders Expo and back again!
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 our parking lot.
Flanders Expo, the place where you enter the FACTS Forest, has dedicated parking facilities,
which can be accessed directly via Exit 14 of the E40 motorway (Brussels – Ostend).
A parking day ticket costs 10€. These prices are not the choice of FACTS.
The parking lots are owned by the City of Ghent.
These humans can enter FACTS for free.
- Children who have not yet reached the age of 11. It’s best to bring a proof of age.
- 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.
Nope, no cancel risks for tickets!
After a long period of uncertainty, it is time for another amazing fandom festival!
Of course, I understand that a lot of you are extra careful when buying a ticket for an event.
But not to worry! If the event gets cancelled (most likely not) then all tickets will be refunded.
We have a whole army of bots ready for **ANNIHILATION AND WORLD DOMINATION** … ahem, I mean ticket refunds.
Sorry, not sure what happened there, haha. Hah.
Anyways, don’t worry and get your ticket in the early periods for the best prices!

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!
HEALTH MEASURES
My sensors indicate that all of human kind has had issues with something called the COVID-19 virus. Nasty creatures. Droids aren’t too fond of viruses either, if you know what I mean.
The FACTS festival organisers will keep monitoring the situation and keep you informed about which health measures will be necessary. Be sure to check the page below!
