Digital Tickets

Watch WORD Christchurch Festival 2021 events in your living room! A digital ticket gives you access to the online version of the event. You can watch at your leisure – tickets grant unlimited access.

To keep things simple, we’ve created a number of day-long tickets which cover multiple events.

Each ticket has a suggested price. Use the slider to increase or decrease the amount you would like to pay.

  • You might pay more if you’re waged, if COVID hasn’t affected your livelihood, or if you’re a WORD fan and would like to help support the work we do.
  • You might pay less if you’re unwaged or a student, or if you’re only going to watch one event in a day-long stream.
