WHY2025 costs an incredible amount of money. We've made budgets ranging from 3000 to 4000 visitors and came to the prices listed in the shop. A ticket pays for warm showers in the morning, the terrain, large tents, angel catering, insurance, facilities and so on and so on.

There are various tickets for WHY2025, from cost coverage to various supporter levels. In the shop you can also choose to rent village equipment such as tents, chairs and tables if you don't want to bring that yourself. You'll also find parking spots for cars and boats(!) and other optional items such as sleeping tents and t-shirts.

All tickets are listed in the ticket shop.

Where to buy tickets?

You can buy your tickets at the online ticket shop.

If you're a volunteer and tickets run out - don't worry, your team lead can probably get you a voucher which entitles you to buying a ticket.

When do I get my actual ticket?

There will be PDF tickets for download and use on the field, sent out before the event.

What if I want to cancel or am unable to come?

In general we do not refund tickets on cancellations.

If there are very special circumstances who are completely out of everybody's control you could try your luck and mail us at tickets@why2025.org.

If you can attend the event, for example because of travel restrictions or personal health or any other reason, you can exchange your ticket with others at the Ticket Exchange page.

Why are the ticket prices higher than the last CCC camp?

We are trying to keep the prices affordable for everyone and still make an awesome camp for all.

The prices increase a little. If you still cannot afford it, and still want to come apply for a friends ticket and get informed on what this can mean for you. See below how...

Will there be gift cards for WHY 2025?

Probably not, as there are no plans for gift cards for WHY2025?

What is an 'anonymous' donation?

The IFCAT foundation (the legal vehicle for the event) would like to keep the ticket price as low as possible.

To that end we asking people that can afford it to give a small donation that we hope will contribute to this cause. Donations will also greatly help us in creating as much financial stability as we can early on and to pay for non-refundable down payments to our suppliers.

How can I pay?

We support the following payment methods:

• Bank transfer (any SEPA country)
• iDeal (Netherlands)
• Giropay (Germany)
• Bancontact (Belgium)
• EPS (Austria)
• Credit Card (Worldwide)

If you want to help us save on fees, please consider using SEPA bank transfers. Select the payment method that is most comfortable for you to use.

Why no cryptocurrencies?

We do see some advantages of cryptocurrencies and technically we could offer them as a payment option. However we have decided not to enable them at this point due to the administrative complexity they introduce.

What if I want to stay anonymous?

We respect that some participants would like to stay anonymous. In this case we recommend you find someone you trust and have them buy the tickets for you, using an (anonymous) email address during the checkout process. This way it won't even be clear which tickets have been bought anonymously. If this does not work for you, contact Team:Info and we'll try to set something up.

In the future we would also like to encourage hackerspaces to distribute tickets for cash purchase. If your hackerspace wants to participate in this, please get in touch.

Who do I contact if I have any further questions regarding ticket sales or need support?

Please write an email to tickets@why2025.org and we'll get back to you asap.

I ordered the wrong size $MerchItem!

As long as you just want to change the size of the product you've ordered, you can do so yourself. Follow the link to your order confirmation - at the bottom of the page you'll find an option to change your order.

In case you want to swap out an item for a different one, please contact us by mail.

What if I can't afford it right now?

No worries. We understand that a lot of people are in a tricky situation financially right now, for example due to a low income. Luckily, we don't expect tickets to sell out that fast.

In the worst case you can always contact friends@why2025.org and we can work something out.

What if I don’t have the financial leeway to get a ticket at these prices?

As we have always done for our events, we can look at your personal situation. Feel free to mail friends@why2025.org in any way and we can look at the possibilities.

Does this mean a voucher system will not be needed for WHY2025?

For SHA2017 and MCH2022, we did not use the voucher system.

We currently have no intention of using it this time either.

How many tickets will be available?

We are targeting a maximum of 3500 visitors.

Is it possible to come by car or camper? Or by boat?

Yes, however, you need a corresponding ticket. There are parking facilities near the field for cars, and a limited amount of camper spots on the terrain.

Camper tickets sold out instantly this time around, but there's a waiting list you can join. Maybe you get lucky. There is no docking area for boats in the harbour, as there is no harbour at this field.

Are there day tickets available?

Sorry, no. We can't offer day tickets because they come with a ton of overhead: we would have to check whether people with day tickets actually leave the terrain again. No one wants to do that job. Plus, we feel that there is a lot of value in fully being immersed in the event as a participant, not a passive spectator.

Are the tickets refundable?

No, tickets are non-refundable. If you don't show up, your ticket is seen as a donation to the event.
