Tickets and passes

UNTOLD sells four-day general-access and VIP passes, plus a limited number of daily tickets, through the official UNTOLD website. Passes typically rise in price through release tiers, so booking early is the cheapest option.

A cashless wristband system operates on-site — you top up credit to a festival band rather than carrying cash. Always buy through the official channel to avoid invalid resold wristbands.

  • Four-day passes are the standard and best-value entry.
  • Prices climb through phased releases — earlier tiers are cheaper.
  • The festival is cashless: top up your wristband online or at on-site points.
  • Under-18 access is restricted — check the official age policy before travelling.

Getting to Cluj-Napoca and where to stay

Cluj-Napoca has its own international airport (Cluj Avram Iancu, CLJ) with direct flights from many European cities; it is also reachable by train and coach from Bucharest and Budapest. Cluj Arena is walkable from the city centre and well served by local transport during the festival.

Accommodation in Cluj-Napoca sells out months ahead for UNTOLD week — book early. The official campsite is the budget option; central hotels and apartments put you within walking distance of both the arena and the nightlife.
