We’re introducing a ticket like no other in Brutal history!

The last time we created designer paper tickets was for the 25th edition of BA—some of you might still remember them. And this year, the idea came back to life. When we received the first graphic drafts from Matěj Bašta, the artist behind this year’s visuals, we knew we couldn’t keep this masterpiece from you. And so, the panoramic ticket was born.

This is a stunning piece in a stylish envelope, revealing all its intricate details and cool features only when opened. And there are plenty of them! On top of that, you’ll also get a patch and three stickers. You even get to choose your patch—since we couldn’t decide whether to go for a colorful or black & white version (both look absolutely stunning), we made both. The choice is yours!

Already have an electronic ticket...

A hit that so many know without necessarily associating it with its author. The living legend, who will be 83 years old this summer, will convince you in the Fortress that age is just a number and genre boundaries are just an abstract concept.
