You do not need a printed ticket. Just bring your government-approved photo ID along with you and you will be good to go during registration.

Ticket FAQs

What does my media ticket entitle me to?

As a media attendee, you will be provided with free access to the event. You can also attend press conferences and you can arrange meetings and interviews with speakers, partners, startups, and investors.

Can my non-media colleague get a media ticket?

Unfortunately, we can only give press passes to editorial staff. Please note: Applications for media accreditation are subject to our media accreditation policy.

How many attendees can join with one ticket?

Each attendee must have a unique ticket to attend Web Summit. Your ticket allows single access to the mobile and web apps. If you share your access link with another person, they will be asked to log in with their own personal ticket information.

Can I transfer my ticket to another person during the event?

No. Each ticket is valid to be used by one person only for the duration of the event.

Can I sell my Web Summit ticket?

As specified in our terms and conditions, you cannot sell your Web Summit ticket. Tickets found to have been resold will be voided and the owner will be denied entry. This also applies to our subsidised tickets, such as women in tech and developer tickets.

Do you sell one-day full attendee tickets?

We don’t offer one-day full-attendee tickets. All full-attendee tickets are valid for the duration of the event.
