Frequently Asked Questions
💬 Where and when can I buy a Festival Pass?

Tickets can be purchased online before or during the festival. For the best value, we suggest purchasing your festival pass as an early bird (until 09.01). We recommend getting your tickets early, as they may sell out during the festival and the number of available seats may be limited. You can purchase your festival pass here: https://blon.lt/pass.

💬 What is the recommended age for attending the BLON Festival?

BLON Animation and Games Festival has a programme that caters to different age groups. The children's programme can be found at https://blon.lt/en/junior. For adults and young people, we recommend the educational activities, which have more information available at https://blon.lt/en/talks. Additionally, the festival feature films are suitable for both children and adults, and you can find a detailed list of films at https://blon.lt/en/features.

💬 What does a "Relaxed screening" mean?

A "relaxed screening" is a screening put on for people who are more sensitive to sound, light or a crowded room — autistic people, people with ADHD, and others who are neurodivergent. It is there so that everyone can enjoy a film in comfort, even when an ordinary screening would feel tense or uncomfortable. How is it different from an ordinary screening?

  • The sound is softer.
  • The lights in the auditorium are not switched off completely.
  • You are free to move about, to talk, and to step out and come back.
  • The atmosphere is welcoming, and everyone is invited to get comfortable and enjoy the film in their own way.
💬 When and where is the festival taking place?

BLON Animation & Games Festival takes place in Klaipėda, Lithuania, from 10-13 September 2026. The festival's entertainment and educational activities take place in different locations around the city. See the map of locations here: https://blon.lt/map.

💬 Can I get an invoice for the pass or accreditation?

Yes, the invoice is issued automatically during the purchase if you select this option. If not, an invoice for festival passes can still be issued until October 1st.

💬 Is it necessary to make a reservation for VR film screenings?
  • VR booking is not required, but it will guarantee you a spot at your preferred time and save you from waiting in line. A booking link for each VR experience will be available from September 1st.
  • The booking is valid only with the pass or accreditation.
  • Booking can be done for the next day only. Same day reservations are not possible.
  • Visitors with Festival Pass (Festival / Student / Industry) can book a VR film during all days of the festival (Sept. 10-13). The maximum number of bookings per person is 3 VR films per day.
  • Festival guests with name accreditation or Starter Pass can only book on weekdays (Sept. 10-11). Maximum number of bookings is 2 VR films per day. Weekend VR screenings are only available in a live queue.
  • Reservations open on September 1.
💬 Where and how to collect your purchased Festival Pass or merch?

Visitors who have purchased a Festival Pass (Festival / Student / Festival Starter / Industry) must collect it at the festival information centre located in Klaipėda's "Culture Factory" (Bangų st. 5A). The Info Centre is open during the festival from 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM.

💬 What is a personalised accreditation?

A personalised accreditation is the physical card you receive on arrival in exchange for the festival pass you bought. It is your entry document for the whole festival.

  • A pass is always exchanged for an accreditation. Every festival pass (Festival / Student / Festival Starter / Industry) is exchanged for a physical, personalised accreditation. Collect it at the festival information centre in Klaipėda's "Culture Factory" (Bangų st. 5A), open 10:00–20:00, by showing your purchase confirmation on your phone. There is nothing to print.
  • The name written on it is the visitor's name — the person who will attend. It need not be the buyer: a pass can be bought for someone else.
  • That name is final and cannot be changed later.
  • The accreditation is personal. Only the person named on it may use it — it cannot be transferred, lent or resold. The organisers may ask for an ID and refuse entry if the name on the accreditation does not match the person presenting it.
  • Keep it with you. Show the accreditation at the entrance to every festival event and when you arrive for a reserved VR screening.
💬 Can I buy a ticket for just one film or do I have to buy a Festival Pass?

Yes, you can buy a ticket for each individual film or VR screening. If you are interested in a specific film, there is a "Select a screening" button next to each film. Once you have selected a screening, you will be directed to purchase your ticket. However, we recommend that you purchase a Festival Pass and enjoy the full programme. More information here: http://blon.lt/en/pass.

💬 I have some more questions. Where should I direct them?

💬 In which language are screenings displayed?

The language of the festival film programme is Lithuanian. Children's films shown during the day are either dubbed in Lithuanian or have Lithuanian subtitles. All other films have both Lithuanian and English subtitles. VR screenings are in English without subtitles.
