🎟️ ZNA Gathering – Ticket Pricing Philosophy
The pricing for ZNA Gathering will always be the result of current careful reflection, community feedback, and real-world challenges. Our goal is to remain a financially sustainable, independent, and underground festival, while continuing to deliver a high-quality, deeply meaningful experience.
We’re not trying to be the biggest — we’re committed to being the best.
💡 Why Ticket Prices Must Evolve
Here are the key factors that will shape our pricing:
📈 Inflation
As a bi-annual festival, for example: our last ticket prices were set in 2022. By 2026, we’re facing a projected 20% increase in costs for materials and services.
🎪 Cosy Festival, Heavy Production
We deliver a world-class experience on a small scale, with production values that rival much larger events.
🌿 ZNA Land & Maintenance
Our beautiful home in a protected natural reserve requires year-round maintenance, even though the festival happens every two years.
⏳ Extended Duration
ZNA spans 9 days, offering incredible value of music, art, and connection, all of this for roughly 30€ a day.
🎶 One-of-a-Kind Lineup
We host exclusive artists and rare sets that require more time, effort, and investment to bring to life.
🛠️ Services
We provide top-tier safety, health, and comfort services, competing with festivals that have much larger budgets.
🤝 Fair Employment
Our crew works under challenging conditions. We believe in fair pay, proper insurance, and ethical labor practices.
🚀 Growth & Expansion
Every edition brings new stages, art, and infrastructure—all designed to enhance your experience.
📜 Licenses & Taxes
We operate 100% legally, with full compliance on security, environmental, and operational regulations.
🎫 Ticket Options & Flexibility
To better support our community, we’re offering:

You cannot change the name on the ticket after purchase.
Make sure to keep your ticket safe and ready for check-in at the event!
🌟 PREMIUM TICKET
This ticket gives you the option to request a refund if you decide not to attend — as long as you cancel before June 10, 2026.
No insurance or third-party services are involved.
You will receive a refund of the ticket price minus commissions and booking fees (charged by a third party we do not control).

This option offers more flexibility while helping cover the event’s organizational costs.
💳 INSTALLMENT OPTION
As before, to make your purchase easier, we offer the option to split the cost of your tickets and services into two payments:
– The first payment is made on the day you buy the ticket.
– The second payment is automatically charged 90 days later.
This option is available until January 31, 2026, or while tickets last.
Choose this plan at checkout to spread your costs more comfortably!
🧡 Our Promise
Our commitment lies in enhancing the quality of our event, rather than expanding its size. Following the sold-out 2024 edition, we have made the decision to reduce the maximum capacity for ZNA 2026, limiting the number of available tickets to 4,500 for our cherished Zambu warriors. We believe this measure will help maintain the intimate, family atmosphere that makes our gathering truly unique while offering you a more comfortable and enjoyable experience.
This choice reflects our dedication to fostering a remarkable gathering focused on the quality of your experience, rather than simply aiming for a larger scale.
