Badge Pick Up

From one week before the festival, accredited visitors will be emailed all the individual information about the pick-up location and opening times of their accreditation counter.

From Tuesday, February 11, 2025 until Friday, February 21, 2025, accredited visitors who have completed the accreditation process (including online payment) can pick up their physical badge (Market Badge, Festival or Student Accreditation) at the Berlinale Service Center on Potsdamer Platz (Theaterufer, 10785 Berlin).

Students must show a valid student ID when picking up their badge.

Even if you use your festival or student accreditation exclusively to book online tickets for festival screenings, you must still present your physical accreditation badge in addition to your online ticket when entering the cinemas.

Accessibility Badge Pick-Up

People who are unable to stand in a queue for a long time due to non-visible/visible disabilities or psychological or physical conditions, have the option (without prior arrangement) to pick up their accreditation at the Accessibility Badge Pick-Up. You can find further information about this subject on the Accessibility for Accredited Visitors and the Berlinale Inclusion web pages.

The Berlinale Service Center has one barrier-free entrance at Eichhorn Str. 3. There is an automatic door opener at the outside door. At the Berlinale Service Center there is a barrier-free toilet.

Applying for an (Online) Market Badge once the festival has begun

It is not possible to apply for an accreditation in person at the Berlinale Service Centre. Subject to availability, industry professionals can apply here for an (Online) Market Badge until the end of the European Film Market. Please note: last minute online payment can result in delays of up to 24 hours when collecting your badge.
