Tickets for holders of Festival Pass are released in the Vodafone KVIFF Guide mobile app every day at 7:00 AM. This time applies to both classic and digital Festival Pass holders. Sales and pick-up of reserved tickets at box offices start daily at 8:00 AM. During these hours, you can buy or reserve tickets only for screenings on the current and following day, to ensure new arrivals also get access. This rule applies to both Festival Pass reservations and individual ticket purchases. Festival Pass+ holders receive their pass in digital form before the festival and can reserve tickets online without being physically present in Karlovy Vary.
The only exception is the presale launch day, Thursday, July 3, 2025, when from 9:00 AM you can reserve and buy tickets for the first two days of the festival – Friday, July 4, and Saturday, July 5 – both at box offices and via the mobile app. All tickets reserved in the Vodafone KVIFF Guide mobile app must still be physically picked up at one of the festival box offices no later than 60 minutes before the screening starts. After that, the tickets are returned to the system.
Example: If you want to reserve or pick up a ticket for July 6, you can do so starting on July 5 at 7:00 AM via the Vodafone KVIFF Guide app or go to a box office at 8:00 AM.
Our tip: There are separate ticket allocations for the app and the box offices. If tickets are unavailable in the app, try checking at the box office.
A total of 25 box offices are available to festival visitors. 18 of them are located inside Hotel Thermal, including the Vodafone box office. Three additional box offices are located outside Hotel Thermal, including the Last Minute box office and the Festival Pass+ box office. Two box offices are located at the Grandhotel Pupp and another two in the festival campsite.
