Ticketing issues
Why should I book my ticket early?
We release tickets in several phases. The earlier you book, the cheaper the ticket.
But you're also part of our ticket Battle Pass!
Our Battle Pass follows the ticket sales to the country and contains a number of sub-goals in a kind of ladder. For each goal achieved, rewards are awarded!
Everyone who bought a ticket before reaching a certain level in the Battle Pass ladder will receive a reward. Some rewards are fixed from the start, others are revealed over time.
Buy your ticket as early as you can. Encourage your friends to do the same. Together we create Sweden's best LAN and gaming festival!
Is Blind Bird/Early Bird/Pre-purchase a regular LAN ticket?
Yes! They are all the same tickets. But the earlier you buy, the better the price.
How do I choose my place in the programme?
You choose your seat when you buy a LAN ticket.
I can't go, can I get my money back?
We don't buy back tickets for Glitched, but you can resell your ticket.
If you are medically unable to attend and can provide a medical certificate, we will refund your ticket. Send an email with your information and the attached medical certificate to our support.
Is it free for children?
Children under 6 years of age enter free of charge with a paying adult, maximum 2 children per paying adult.
Can my assistants come with me?
If you are participating in Glitched and have a disability that requires special assistance or escort, your assistant(s) can accompany you at no extra cost upon presentation of a certificate.
Can I get a group discount?
Yes! We believe in the social power that is created when many people go on LAN and therefore we will offer group discounts for larger groups. More information to come.
LAN issues
What is a LAN?
A lan is a social event where people gather for several days to play and socialise together, bringing their own computer or console and screen and connecting to the network to play with others.
During the event, you can take part in a wide range of activities, competitions and tournaments taking place on the field, on the stage or in other halls.
Most visitors also stay overnight in the dormitory included in the festival and country ticket.
What do I need to bring as a LAN participant?
- Computer or console and screen
- Headset, control, mouse and keyboard
- All cables such as power and video, we also recommend that mice, keyboards and headsets are wired.
- Branch box with at least 3 outlets
- Network cable that is at least 10m, there is wifi on site but for the best experience we recommend using a network cable
- Hygiene items such as towel, toothbrush, toothpaste, deodorant. there is access to shower at the event
- Cosy clothes you can play in
- Water bottle, it is important to drink properly!
- Air mattress or sleeping mat, pillow and sleeping bag
- Any medicines or aids you need
Can I LAN with my console?
Yes, you can choose which equipment you want to play on. Lana is all about having fun together!
Do I need to bring my own computer/console?
There may be an opportunity to rent a gaming setup instead! More information to come.
Can I bring equipment such as a cooler or fridge?
You may carry small electronic equipment such as a USB fridge powered by your computer. You cannot plug a cool box or fridge directly into a power socket.
Who has access to the LAN?
All visitors who have a LAN or festival ticket have access to the lan area. Parents can add day passes with LAN access when purchasing a LAN place on our website.
Is there a dormitory at Glitched?
Yes, Glitched offers several different sleeping options, either in our campsite or indoors in a dormitory.
As a parent, can I visit my child who has a LAN ticket?
Yes, there is a special parent pass that includes access to the LAN area that you can add to your child's LAN ticket purchase.
Can I bring a bag as a LAN visitor?
Yes, all bags will be checked at the entrance to the event, visitors with a festival or country ticket will be allowed to bring one bag to the festival. This does not apply to visitors with day passes.
I am disabled and in a wheelchair, are there any adapted seats?
We can adapt a LAN seat for people with reduced mobility so that you can sit in a wheelchair. The wheelchair seats are therefore placed among the regular seats (those with wider tables), so if your friends book these, you can sit next to each other. Please contact us if you need an adapted seat.
Elmia is accessible to the disabled and it is possible to get between floors via a lift.
Here you can find general information about accessibility at Elmia incl maps.
Please note that Glitched is implemented together with a large number of partners and that we cannot guarantee 100% availability everywhere. Please provide feedback to our staff to give us a chance to improve.
How big is my seat?
A regular pitch is 90cm wide and 70cm deep.
Can I book a wider seat?
Yes! Some of the table rows in our LAN offer more space than the regular ones because the seats are wider. The wider seat is 120×70 cm. The number is limited.
Please note that if you need an accessible seat, we will organise it among the wider seats.
I have a wider seat. Can I sit next to my friend who does not?
No. To sit together, you must buy the same type of seat as we cannot mix normal and wider seats in the same row.
How do I secure my computer equipment in the LAN?
You are responsible for all your belongings. Glitched has some security and will turn away anyone who doesn't have the right ticket, but we can't keep track of individuals' equipment. Here are some tips on how to think about security:
- Do not leave valuables unattended, especially smaller items such as mobile phones, mice, chargers, headsets or other accessories.
- Bring an extra backpack and carry your valuables with you when you leave your seat.
- Buy cable locks and lock your computer, screen and other equipment together.
- Thread a longer wire lock around the table leg.
- Lock multiple computers into each other.
- Bring cable collectors and cable ties and create a thick cable bundle that is difficult to remove, split or cut.
- Get to know your neighbours and agree to watch each other's stuff. Take their phone numbers and contact them if someone you don't recognise goes through their stuff.
Can I help carry my child's computer to the school?
Yes, at least during the first hours of occupation, we will allow carrying assistance, i.e. briefly accompanying your child/young person in order to help carry computer equipment to the site. Please follow the instructions of the staff on site.
If you are also curious to have a look around Glitched, buy a day ticket and help support the festival! 🙏
Can I change my seat?
No, you cannot do this yourself. Please contact Tickster support if you need to change your seat, they can help if the seat you want is available and is of the same price category as the one you purchased. Please note that you cannot ask support to switch seats on behalf of someone else.
Esport
Will there be any tournaments?
Definitely! We organise our own tournaments, and we also collaborate with various partners to organise tournaments at Glitched. More information will be presented continuously until the event.
