Tickets and Passes

The price of both “premium” and basic accreditations for the 14th edition of the festival remains unchanged only for the “Partner Pass” (964 EUR) and the “Sponsor Pass” (215 EUR); for the remaining accreditations, including the “Noir Pass” (130 EUR), as well as individual tickets for festival screenings, we are unfortunately forced to raise the price due to the ever-increasing costs of venue rental, film equipment rental, and rising licensing fees for the public screening of festival films.

Generous accreditation packages (Partner, Sponsor, and Noir Pass) were made available to festival donors as a token of appreciation starting January 6, 2026; their official sale began on February 16 and ended once they were sold out.

Basic accreditations (Full Festival Pass, Weekend Pass, and One-Day Pass) will be available for purchase starting April 1, 2026, through the noir reservation system (NRS) at https://tickets.noirfilmfestival.cz/. Individual tickets will go on sale on the day the complete program is published, i.e., June 22. The price of a single ticket for regular festival screenings this year is 6,50 EUR, and for the main evening screenings in the castle courtyard (4) and special screenings, the price is 7,50 EUR.

*Any questions regarding all types of accreditations, tickets for the upcoming edition, and the relaunched NRS can be directed to the usual email address: vstupenky@noirfilmfestival.cz.

The number of “generous accreditations” is limited again this year so that we can guarantee the associated benefits to their holders. All 50 have already sold out!

**All festival accreditations and paper tickets can be picked up only at the Festival Center at Český Šternberk Castle, starting on the opening day of the festival, i.e., August 19, 2026 (10:00 a.m.).

Holders of any festival pass (including the “Generous” passes, with the exception of the Partner Pass) will have the opportunity to reserve tickets for individual film screenings through NRS on a priority basis from June 22 through July 6, 2026. Starting July 7, this option will also be available to those interested in tickets who do not have festival accreditation.
