Badge Pick Up

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

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.

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.

EFM Day Pass

The EFM grants access to the EFM stands in the Gropius Bau and the Marriott Hotel for a single market day. The Day Pass is subject to availability and can only be purchased for the current day at the Access Desk outside the Gropius Bau (not at the Berlinale Service Centre).
