FAQs

What does a Festival Pass cover?

One of our famed, insanely good value Festival Passes gets you entry into all events, except for workshops and masterclasses. There's limited seating in these, so please do book them separately.

Do you offer concession tickets?

We sure do. Each ticket will have a drop down option for discounted prices for students, over 65s, and those registered as disabled and unemployed.

I'm a poet performing at Verve, do I need to buy tickets?

Nope! We're delighted to offer poets performing at Verve their own Artist Pass that allows you free entry into all events (except for workshops, please do book these separately). You lucky thing you.
