PRE-EVENT TESTING / VACCINATION

Do I need to take an Antigen Rapid Test (ART) before attending the physical events?
All patrons are required to undergo ART for events involving more than 50 attendees. This will be indicated in the programme description for such events.

If you have registered or bought tickets for such an event, you should receive an email notification with more instructions and details.

Do note that the turnaround time for ART results is typically 30 minutes and the results will be valid for 24 hours. Do ensure that the time you arrive at the event for the test is no more than 24 hours to the end of your event, For example, if your event is from 9am-5pm, you should only do the test after 5pm the previous day.

VIDEO-ON-DEMAND (VOD)

What is video-on-demand?
Video-on-demand or VOD content are recordings of programmes that can be viewed at your convenience.

Only selected festival programmes will be available as VOD – view the list here!

Please note that we will be uploading videos progressively throughout the viewing period (12 - 5 Dec 2021 for Festival Pass & Festival Pass Plus Holders, 19 - 5 Dec 2021 for VOD Pass Holders). Thank you for your patience as we work on subtitling to increase accessibility to these programmes!

P.S. If you are a Festival Pass / Festival Pass Plus holder, you automatically have access to VOD! Otherwise, the sale of VOD passes will commence on 18 Nov – do stay tuned for more announcements!

TICKETING & REFUNDS

How will the refunds be done?
