Is it free?

Admission is free. If you book on Ticketlink you pay a 3,000 KRW booking fee per ticket. KORVIA’s passes cost nothing at all.

Who can ask for one of KORVIA’s free passes?

Native English speakers. The form takes about 30 seconds: first name, email, and a box confirming you’re a native English speaker. One request per person; if you sign up again with the same email, you keep your original number.

How will I know if I got a pass?

Your number shows up on screen as soon as you submit. Numbers 1 to 30 are confirmed, and anything after that is a waitlist spot.

Where do I pick up my pass?

At Korvia Party on Saturday, October 3, 2026. Check in at the KORVIA or KFTRA booth on Dosan-daero (Food & K-Culture zone, near the Hakdong intersection) any time from 1 PM, give our staff the first name and email you used, and they’ll hand you a physical festival pass.

Do Ticketlink’s ID and no-transfer rules apply to KORVIA’s passes?

Those rules are written for Ticketlink bookings. The festival hasn’t published entry rules for the passes it allocated to KORVIA yet, so bring your passport or ARC on October 4. Whatever entry instructions the festival gives us, we’ll pass on when you collect your pass.

What if I can’t make it on October 3?

Passes are only handed out at the booth on October 3. Email support@korvia.com and we’ll give yours to the next person on the waitlist. You can still book your own ticket on Ticketlink.
