TICKETING

Televerse offers two ways to access sessions. Our per-session pricing is meant to let you build your own unique Televerse experience. Our All Access Pass allows you to secure a seat in as many sessions as you want (subject to availability), including panels, workshops, FYCs, screenings and Q&As. With the All Access Pass, we highly recommend you select all sessions that you wish to attend in order to guarantee a spot in that session. You must be ticketed for at least one session to gain access to Televerse. Each registrant will receive a badge upon check-in, and all of your ticketed sessions will be accessed using that badge.
How do I change or cancel a session for which I am ticketed?

When you click Continue, if the changes you made adjust the amount due, you will see a new total. Please note that all ticket purchases are final, and cancelled sessions will result in credit toward other sessions, but no refunds. Those with All Access Passes can switch up their sessions at will, though the ticketing process will not allow you to double book sessions that occur at the same time.
