If your permanent address is on the "neighboring streets" list, you are eligible for a discounted ticket. At the entrance, you must present a valid ID and address card together to verify eligibility. It is crucial that only those whose permanent address appears on the list of neighboring streets are entitled to the discounted ticket.

Unfortunately, we cannot exchange or refund tickets in this case. We recommend uploading your ticket to TicketSwap so someone else can enjoy it. TicketSwap is a leading secondary ticket resale platform where individuals can buy and sell tickets. TicketSwap is our official secondary ticketing partner.

Can I transfer my previously purchased ticket to someone else?

Generally, yes, as we check the barcode at the entrance. One person can buy multiple tickets/passes, which are linked to the user at the ticket exchange point. After that, transfers are not possible. However, there are some exceptions:

• For "Neighbor" tickets, a valid address card must be presented (the permanent address must be on the "Neighboring Streets" list).

Children under 14 can only attend the Campus Festival with a parent or guardian. A ticket is required from the age of 10.

I want to exchange my ticket for a wristband. How can I do that?

Ticket exchange information is updated before the festival. Typically, ticket-to-wristband exchanges happen at multiple locations in the city. Please note that daily tickets can only be exchanged on the corresponding event day.

How can people with disabilities or chronic illnesses attend the festival?

People with disabilities or chronic illnesses can attend the event for free if they have a card issued by the Hungarian State Treasury confirming their status. It is important to note that in this case, the person can only attend with a companion. The ticket type granted to the attendee will match that of the companion. For wheelchair users, unfortunately, due to safety regulations, it is not possible to provide a spot inside the barriers during concerts. However, experience shows that fellow attendees are considerate of wheelchair users, and the security team ensures they can enjoy the concert smoothly.

What documents are required for entry?

During the entry process, everyone entering the festival must go through the so-called ID Check system. This means that each attendee’s ID will be linked to their wristband. Therefore, make sure to bring your valid ID card or passport.

• For University of Debrecen employee passes, a valid photo UniPass card and/or employer certification must be presented.

Intervene - bullying prevention and mental safety project at Campus Festival

The Intervene project aims to make nightlife safe for everyone. Harassment is never acceptable, and intervention, a supportive presence and community responsibility are important steps to reduce it. If you experience harassment, aggression, exclusion, toxic behaviour or other disturbing and upsetting incidents at the festival, our colleagues in the field are trained on what to do in such cases. The Intervention Point will be set up next to the Health Base, where our colleagues will be waiting to provide psychological and mental health support, but you can also just relax in the company of our volunteers in a calming environment if you need it.

What to do in case of a storm, extreme weather, or emergency?

The organizers will do everything possible to inform the public in advance of any potentially arriving extreme weather. In such cases, we strongly ask you to remain calm and follow the instructions of the security service and festival staff, which will be in accordance with the festival's Security Plan. In case of temporary stormy weather, the covered stands of the Nagyerdei Stadium provide shelter, and access to them is provided through the high walkways and the stadium's open gates. In some cases, it may be necessary to evacuate the festival area – we will provide information about this through loudspeakers, screens, and staff. In this case, please leave the festival area immediately. It is especially important that you familiarize yourself with the location of the emergency exits and escape routes upon arrival at the festival.

The Campus location is situated in a beautiful wooded area next to the Nagyerdei Stadium.
