A full festival pass costs R400, and a day pass costs R150. 

In addition to the festival passes, you can buy a ticket to attend the glamorous award ceremony for the first kykNET Silwerskerm Awards for Film and Television, where outstanding work on our big and small screens will be honoured. The event is hosted at the CTICC on Saturday, 26 August. Blue carpet arrivals start at 16:00, and the awards ceremony strictly at 18:00. This gala event will also be filmed for television.
