We have the following types of tickets:

Festival pass/day pass: Festival pass gives you access to ALL concerts during the entire festival/current day.
For our club stages with limited capacity, a number of seats will be reserved for our audience with passes. It may be a good idea to be out well in advance.
For concerts in Kongsberg Music Theatre and Sølvsalen it will be possible to pre-purchase a seat ticket for 25 NOK, and thus be guaranteed a seat. These seat tickets will be made available on Monday during the festival week. An email with information and link will be sent out to all pass customers on 29.06.26.

JAZZ pass/JAZZpass Young (under 25 years old):
This pass gives access to all our club stages and is tailored for anyone who loves jazz or is curious to explore new artists.
This pass gives access to approximately 35 concerts at Energimølla, Smeltehytta, Kongsberg Church, Argus, Galleri Låven (Kongsberg Art Association), Steinhuset, Rigmors hage, Kongsberg Musikkteater and Sølvsalen. A number of seats are reserved for those with a JAZZpass.
The JAZZ pass does not apply to Gamle Norge and Christians Kjeller.
