Preparations for Mystic Festival 2022 are under way. We’re introducing the Health Pass Tickets to make sure that you’ll be safe when we meet in June.
We believe that by June 2022 the plague will be nothing more but a bad memory, but, following the example of other European festivals which took place in the summer of 2021, we’re getting ready for all possible scenarios. After today, all tickets for Mystic Festival 2022 will be sold either as the Health Pass Tickets (HPT), for the holders of the EU Covid Certificate (UCC), or as tickets whose holders do not have UCC at the time of the festival. The accessibility of tickets without UCC will be adjusted to the current regulations.
Ticket-holders who purchased their tickets earlier do not have exchange them for the HPT tickets – at the entrance to the festival, they will be asked to show their UCC. Please observe that according to the current regulations, the festival area is large enough to accommodate everyone who has so far purchased tickets, (this includes potential ticket holders without UCC).
Health Pass Tickets - FAQ
1. What is the Health Pass Ticket and what does it entitle me to?
The Health Pass Ticket (HPT) is a ticket for the holder of a valid EU Covid Certificate (UCC), which allows one to take part in the festival regardless of the current limitations for the audience.
2. What is the EU Covid Certificate?
The EU Covid Certificate is a free document confirming the holder’s resistance to COVID-19. It is issued for everyone who was vaccinated, who recovered from COVID-19, and or who took a COVID-19 test (make sure to check the validity of the UCC received this way).
The UCC is valid in EU countries, including Iceland, Norway, Switzerland and Lichtenstein.
3. Do I have to show my UCC when my Health Pass Ticket will be checked?
Yes. The HPT ticket is only valid with the UCC. Make sure to have your UCC – either as a QR code or a PDF file on a smartphone or a tablet – with you, as you’ll be entering the festival.
4. Will the recent COVID-19 tests be required or accepted as an alternative to the UCC?
No. COVID-19 tests will not be required of ticket-holders, and they will not allow you to enter the festival. Only the Health Pass Ticket with a valid UCC will be accepted.
5. Will it be possible to take a rapid COVID-19 test at the festival?
No. It will not be possible to take a rapid COVID-19 test at the festival.
6. I bought a ticket before the HPT was introduced. Should I exchange my ticket?
No. You don’t have to do anything.
7. I don’t have the UCC, but I have bought a ticket / I want to buy a ticket. Will I be allowed to enter the festival?
Yes, according to the current regulations, the area of the festival is large enough to accommodate all the current ticket-holders. Also, non-HPT tickets will still be sold (the pool will be available based on current regulations). However, we recommend that everyone receives COVID-19 vaccinations for the sake of their and their family’s safety. Vaccination may also turn out very useful in 2022, as it will provide access to travel and to cultural events in Poland and abroad.
8. Will the holders of Health Pass Tickets be obliged to stay in particular areas of the festival?
No, the holders of the HPT will be allowed to move freely around the festival area.
9. Will the holders of tickets from the general pool (non-HPT tickets) be obliged to stay in particular areas or will they be subjected to any restrictions?
Festival organizers do not plan to introduce any additional restrictions for the holders of tickets from the general pool (non-HPT tickets). Possible recommendations (like face-masks) will be implemented depending on the current legal situation.
10. I have a valid UCC at the moment of the purchase of a ticket, but it’s validity expires before the festival. Which ticket should I buy?
Without a valid UCC, one cannot enter the festival as a HPT holder. Please, make sure to plan your booster vaccination shot before the festival, or buy a ticket from the general pool.
11. I was vaccinated recently and my UCC will become active only after the festival. Which ticket should I buy?
Everyone who will not have a valid UCC, should buy a general pool ticket or plan their booster vaccination shot before the festival.
12. Will the HPT tickets or general pool tickets be available at the festival?
Mystic Festival is a closed event with a dozen thousand participants. Both pools may run out, so you will only have complete certainty that you will be able to take part in the festival by purchasing presale tickets.
