Book tickets online through our website by logging in with your Eventival account. Please remember to do so, and not make a normal login, then you will not be able to book with your pass.

Once you log in to our website, you can book tickets for our INTER:ACTIVE Symposium or CPH:CONFERENCE sessions and pre-order up to 20 tickets online for regular screenings, events or reserve a slot for the INTER:ACTIVE exhibition.

You can only book one ticket for each event. Bookings overlapping in time are not possible. You will receive your ticket by email and it will automatically be added to the QR code on your accreditation badge.

It is important for us to create a good experience for all festival participants, therefore we ask you to arrive at least five minutes before the event.

If you want to attend a screening that is not sold out, for which you haven’t purchased a ticket in advance, we can issue a ticket for you at the cinema. However, we recommend booking in advance for screenings you don’t want to risk missing.

Should you be unable to reach the venue before the screening starts, we cannot guarantee a seat for you in the cinema – this is also the case even if you have a ticket, as un-checked tickets at the start time can be sold to someone else, and the screening may therefore become sold out. If it is not sold out, but you are late, we cannot guarantee the seat you have booked.

You cannot use your accreditation to order tickets for events in Absalon or DR Koncerthuset.

If you have used all your 20 pre-order tickets, you can still attend regular screenings upon availability by scanning your accreditation at the cinema. 

If you cannot attend a screening you have booked a ticket for, please cancel your ticket by visiting https://cphdox.dk/profile/. If you have any trouble logging in with your Eventival account, please contact tickets@cphdox.dk
