Thank you in advance for your generosity! You’re helping us a lot by buying your ticket as early as possible!

Here you have more information about tickets.

You need to provide
– first name
– last name
– country
– email address
– date of birth

of the person who’s buying the tickets and every individual who the tickets are meant for. You can also choose the “I don’t know yet” option during the process of assigning tickets and fill out the needed data later. Remember to fill out the data before the convention! A ticket without personal data is not valid.

All tickets are personal and your ID will be checked upon entry.

You can, however, transfer your ticket to someone else.

Yes. This might be the case if you can no longer participate and want to transfer your ticket to someone else.

If you chose the “I don’t know yet” option during the process of purchasing a ticket,

you can later re-assign the ticket to somebody else yourself. After entering all the needed data of the new owner, the ticket will be locked.

If during the purchase you assigned your ticket to a specific person, the ticket will be locked. In this case, if you want to transfer your ticket, please contact prereg@eja.net, adding the person you would like to transfer your ticket to in CC. Give us your name, your order number, and the information (name, contact info and address) of the person who should receive your ticket. We will confirm whether it’s a real ticket to the person you are transferring your ticket to, and change the information in the backend once you both confirm the swap.

Important! We will not transfer any entries after 14 July 2024. For a ticket swap, there is an administration fee of 10 euro.

Open your confirmation email and click the button”view order” at the bottom. At the bottom of the page, click on you ticket and fill in the required information under “re-assign” and answer the questions.

To protect you from scams, the process for transferring ownership of a ticket is: suppose person A wants to transfer their ticket to B.

Person A send an email to prereg@eja.net with person B in CC, with name, date of birth, the email they ordered from and the order number (all for verification), ideally from the email address person A ordered from
Our Prereg Coordinator verifies that it’s a real ticket
Person B shares their personal information with pre-reg, and (if applicable) confirms that they have sent the money to person A with person A in CC
Our Prereg Coordinator changes the name and information in the backend.
Of course, if you know the person you’re swapping with well and trust them, you can just send us all the information (name and details of A, B and order number) in one email. If you don’t know the person you are making the transaction with, we recommend not trying to swap tickets in another way. This system is in place to protect jugglers from scammers, and tickets have to be personalised.

No, tickets are not refundable. But you can transfer it to another person (see above). We also recommend purchasing travel insurance, which will help you cover financial losses associated with surprise circumstances that could ruin a trip, including illness, injury, accidents, flight or other transportation delays, and other issues.

The pre-reg system is run by volunteers, and there is a lot of work to be done in the background. This money goes towards the European Juggling Association and will therefore benefit future EJCs.

At the end of your purchase, you will have an opportunity to have a small fee added with the name “EJA contribution”. This contribution of 2,50€ per ticket will go towards the European Juggling Association (EJA)’s work to support future EJCs. If you do not want this to happen you can leave the box unchecked.

No, a gala ticket is not included in the week ticket, you need to buy it additionally. You can choose between 2 dates (each show presents the same artistic program).

Yes, the important thing is that during the purchase process, you indicate the name of the person who will collect the ticket and attend the Festival.

Yes. If you are between 16 and 18 you need a parental consent form (you can download it here); if you are under 16 you will also need an adult participant of the EJC who will take responsibility for you.

If you pre-register and your 18^th birthday is after 27^th July then you can pay the under-18 price.
If you register on-site, then you pay the price for your age on the date of purchase.

Short answer: yes! This year our policy will be to refund the ticket after the event, rather than provide free tickets beforehand for our full-time volunteers. For more information about this please contact us at volunteers@ejc2024.org
