Buy Tickets

We have switched to late bird prices.
Day passes are now available as well.

Training passes are sold out, sorry.

You can pay using credit cards (via Stripe).
Unfortunately, we had to switch off Paypal as payment processor,
because they don't allow us to transfer the money out of our account
to our bank without paying huge charges.

Unless otherwise mentioned, all prices include 20% UK VAT.

If you have questions about our tickets, the process, etc. please check our FAQ document for answers.
If you still have questions, please consult our EuroPython Helpdesk.

Invoices: Tickets are invoiced by the EuroPython Society. You can download them from your account (check under "Orders, invoices and coupons").

Ticket sales plan

Tickets for EuroPython will be sold in four phases, with increasing prices closer to the event:

• Early-Bird Rate: We will have 200 very cheap tickets available when we open up ticket sales. They offer an up to 50% discount over the standard rate and are usually sold out within a few hours.
• Standard Rate: Normal rate tickets will be available shortly after the early-bird sales have ended and commence until either the conference sells out or a few weeks before the event.
• Late-Bird Rate: Closer to the conference, we will switch to late-bird ticket rates, if we still have tickets left. These will cost around 30% more than the standard rate.
• On-desk Day Passes: Shortly before the conference, we will make day passes available for those who only want to attend a single conference day and the sprints.

Please note that access to trainings is not included in the regular conference ticket price. We have separate "Training passes" for this.

Which ticket type do I need to buy ?

We would like to encourage and trust you, to pick a ticket type that reasonably fits your personal situation.

If a company is paying for your ticket and you need a proper VAT receipt (the personal tickets do not include a company name), please buy a business ticket.

If you are using Python as a hobby or as freelancer and don't need a VAT receipt, the personal ticket is for you.

Finally, if you are a student/postdoc researcher working in academia, we have the highly subsidized student ticket for you.

Please note that we will probably list the ticket type on the badge to
make things easier for the registration desk personnel.

If you would like to support EuroPython, please consider getting a higher priced ticket. We assure you that your contribution will be put to good use. Thank you!

We would like to encourage you to buy your ticket as early as possible. This makes it easier for us to plan for the event and arrange e.g. the catering, print badges, etc.

If you have questions about our ticket prices, the process, etc. please check our FAQ document for answers. If you still have questions, please consult our EuroPython Helpdesk.

Training Passes

Since we don't want to overbook the trainings, we have capped the number of tickets to 200. Please get your training passes early before they sell out.
