What is the BGF?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Where will the BGF take place this year?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The BGF will take place at The EGG, Rue Barastraat 175, 1070 Brussels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where can I buy my tickets?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

On our online ticket service by using this link<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can also buy your tickets at the festival entrance, if any are still on sale!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ticket price is \u20ac6 in presale and \u20ac7 at the door, and it also gives access to the corresponding nocturne (Friday = Friday nocturne, Saturday = Saturday nocturne).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why is the BGF paying this year?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The festival team is made up of volunteers who give a lot of their free time to create an unforgettable festival. It wasn’t an easy decision to make, but to ensure the festival’s continuity in the years to come, we had to resort to paid ticketing for this edition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why is the number of tickets limited?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Entries are limited for safety reasons linked to fire department regulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are all festival exits final?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

No, as long as you keep your wristband, you can re-enter the festival site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can return it at the exit, in which case you’ll receive tokens to take part in our survey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note that if you return the wristband, you won’t be able to get it back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can I give my named entry to someone else if I can’t go to the festival on one of the three days?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Yes, there’s no need to change the name on the seat, as the ticket includes a QR-Code that will be scanned on entry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Until what time can you enter and stay during the Nocturnes?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

During the BGF Nocturnes (Friday and Saturday), the last entry is at midnight. Those who stay can play until 3 a.m. After midnight, re-entry is only possible from 10 a.m. the following morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can I eat at the festival?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Yes, there will be FoodTrucks on the festival offering meals for different diets (Vegan, gluten-free, etc.).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What if I want to bring my picnic with me?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You can, there is no obligation to consume on-site. You can bring your own food and drinks from home if you wish (except glass bottles).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What methods of payment can be used at the BGF?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Cash and Bancontact\/Contactless can be used at the entrance, in the bars and at the games market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However there will be no<\/strong> Payconiq.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is there a designated area for changing or breastfeeding infants?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Yes, a nursery is available in Local 5 in the Riverside zone. It is marked on the map<\/a> by this pictogram. \"\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You will find a water point, a microwave, a comfortable chair, and a changing table to make things easier for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are animals allowed inside the festival grounds?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

No, only assistance dogs are allowed at the BGF.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Will the festival be accessible to people with disabilities?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Yes, the festival site is accessible and adapted for people with reduced mobility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What’s more, the BGth\u00e8que will be offering games adapted for the visually impaired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can I bring my own games to the BGF?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Yes, and you can offer games at the BG’Th\u00e8que tables, but you will need to manage your table yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
