Seat reservation (optional)

Festival passes and day passes give you access to the entire programme in Het Huis Utrecht, as long as seats are available.
You can secure your spot at your favourite programmes by making a seat reservation, which will grant you “priority access” to the venue. Seat reservation is optional, but we strongly advise to do so, especially for the film programmes in Studio 3, as the capacity of the venue is limited.

With a single programme ticket you automatically have a seat reservation.

How to make a seat reservation?
After purchasing your festival pass or day pass, you will receive a confirmation email with your PDF ticket. In the email you will find a link to make seat reservations for specific programmes.

You will receive a personal code in your mailbox.
With this code you will be able to book single tickets (for free) for the programmes. The single tickets will count as your seat reservation.

As long as seats are available, online reservations can be made until 23:59h of the day before the programme.

Priority Access during the festival
Seat reservations follow a speeding boarding idea:

• 15 minutes before the start of the programme, visitors with seat reservation and with single programme tickets have priority access to the venue to choose their seats.
• 10 minutes before the start of the programme, all remaining visitors can enter, as long as seats are available.

If you have questions regarding seat reservations, please do not hesitate to contact us at festival@impakt.nl
