ASSITEJ National Centre & Network Discounts

We are delighted to offer a group discount for those who wish to buy tickets together. ASSITEJ National Centres & Networks are welcome to make use of these group discounts.

Purchasing 10-19 Access Passes as a group?
You’ll receive a 15% discount.

Purchasing more than 20 Access Passes as a group?
You’ll receive a 25% discount.

This discount applies in addition to the Eligible Countries Discount but cannot be combined with Freelancer Discount requests.

The discounts are intended for members from one ASSITEJ National Centre or International Professional Network. There might be a situation where some centres are paying for delegates from other countries because they are, for example, part of a project that this centre has created. An ASSITEJ centre or Network can include persons outside their country or membership if the Centre/Network is really paying the costs, but not if they are only acting as an intermediary. We are trying to encourage National Centres to support increased participation in their own contexts.

ELIGIBLE COUNTRY DISCOUNTS

As ASSITEJ Cuba and ASSITEJ International wish to improve global access to the event, discounted Access Passes are available to delegates and audience members from certain countries.

Please click here to see if your country is on the list.

FREELANCER DISCOUNTS

The discount for freelancers is created to enable those with limited means or
mechanisms for support to attend our ASSITEJ World Congress and Performing
Arts Festival for Children & Young People. There is already a discount for anyone
not from a high GDP country.

A freelancer is:
● A person who makes money on a per-job basis;
● A person who works for many different employers or projects or is self-employed;
● A person who does not get a regular income or salary from a single source and does not receive the benefits of permanent employment;
● A person who can often have inconsistent or irregular income.

ASSITEJ International and the host country rely on the income from delegate
passes to be able to arrange the ASSITEJ World Congress and Performing Arts
Festival for Children & Young People and support the performing artists. We
encourage everyone who can to pay a full fee.

DON’T FORGET!

We strongly encourage colleagues coming from developed countries, larger institutions, or more affluent national centres to register for a higher fee over a minimal one, or to sponsor a fee for a colleague with less resources at their disposal. Please let us know if you would like to do so! We appreciate your generosity.

All international delegates and attendees need to register on this website – regardless of whether they are exempted from the fee or not.

Please be aware that a pass does not guarantee access to a performance or an event. As there is limited seating capacity in each venue, you still need to reserve a ticket to individual events.

Once you have purchased your Access Pass, you are able to reserve your complimentary ticket for up to 6 limited-capacity events that is covered by the type of pass you selected.

You will be able to do this by going to the specific event page.

You will be prompted through a few simple steps, and then (as long as there are still seats available) you will receive your ticket to your email inbox.
