Purchasing Your Festival Pass
Tickets will go on sale via Eventbrite.
On Eventbrite you can purchase the Festival Pass that suits you:
- Student
- Emerging Talent
- Professional
- Industry Transition
You will be sent a confirmation email with your Festival pass details. Keep this safe as you will need it to register and collect your Festival Pass in Dingle.
Please note all Student Festival Passes will need matching Student ID when collecting your Festival Pass at the Festival Registration Desk.
Registering & Collecting Your Festival Pass
Festival Passes are collected from our Festival Registration Desk. You cannot access Festival events without your Pass, so be sure to register when you arrive in Dingle. (See above for Registration Desk opening times.)
Please make your way to our Festival Desk to collect your Animation Dingle 2026 Festival Pass.
Please ensure that you have your Eventbrite confirmation with you along with supporting documentation relevant to your Pass type. Required documentation is on your Eventbrite confirmation.
Your Eventbrite confirmation will be scanned, checking you into the festival and you will be issued with your Personal Festival Pass on a lanyard. Our staff will also secure an Animation Dingle Festival wristband to your wrist.
It is ESSENTIAL that you have both of these on your person at all times throughout the Festival. You WILL NOT be permitted entry to any of our events without BOTH your lanyard Festival Pass AND your wristband on your wrist.
In the event that you should lose or misplace either or both of these items, the Festival cannot issue duplicates and you will need to purchase a NEW Pass to gain entry to Festival events. However, we do offer legitimate cases a discounted price on a replacement Pass.
Please see our Terms & Conditions HERE.
Entry to AD Events
You DO NOT need to prebook entry to our events, however, we recommend you arrive in good time to all of these events in order to secure your seat/space.
All Festival events and spaces can be found on our timetable.
Your Festival Stay
Animation Dingle takes place in the small fishing town of Dingle in county Kerry, on the West Coast of Ireland and along the Wild Atlantic Way.
Dingle has limited capacity and therefore we have a finite amount of Festival Passes available.
Similarly, Dingle town has a finite capacity in terms of places to stay. If you are not local and need accommodation, we recommend that you book your accommodation as soon as you possibly can.
We appreciate your cooperation and we look forward to welcoming you to Animation Dingle 2026.
