Buying a Pass
Ad Black Sea 2025
CREATE / REACTIVATE YOUR ACCOUNT:
- Passes for Ad Black Sea - International Festival of Creativity 2025 will be available for purchase online from July to September 9 or until sold-out. Attendance is open to anyone over 18 years old. In order to purchase a pass you need to create a new account or sign in with your existing account.
- In order to use membership discounts, you must select relevant membership during account registration or update via Edit function on your profile page.
- Users registering as Students have to be under 23 years old and will need to provide proof of their student status, such as Student ID or letter from the relevant University or School. Georgian National ID indicating Student status is not sufficient.
- While Ad Black Sea 2025 contest remains closed for entries from Russia and Belarus, we face a challenge to control the nationals of Russia and Belarus, who register as representatives of other countries on our platform. That’s why, from this year, if you choose to attend Tbilisi Design Festival in May and Ad Black Sea - International Festival of Creativity in September despite our restrictions, you must declare your unequivocal support of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Georgia and Ukraine. In order to commit more than words, we will occupy 20% (the same percentage of our country is currently occupied by Russia) of the income from Passes sold to nationals of Russia and Belarus to go to Come Back Alive Foundation (savelife.in.ua), an organisation providing support to the Ukrainian military. By attending these events, you will contribute financially to the fight against Russian aggression. And if you are willing to do so, then you are welcome to Ad Black Sea.
- By purchasing the Pass, you acknowledge that the pass is for the entire experience of the festival and not for a specific speaker or event. The festival is not liable for last minute change in the program and no refunds will be available in such cases.
- Holders of Full Passes and Student Passes may claim Festival's promotional gifts at the registration desk only. Gift bag or any other promotional material will not be available in case of non-attendance.
- Entry at any venue of the festival will only be possible with a badge and bracelet. Lost badges and bracelets will not be issued again. New ones can only be issued in exchange for a damaged item.
