We take immense pride in being Europe’s longest-standing women-only festival and a registered non-profit organisation. By purchasing a festival wristband, you are directly supporting our ongoing mission and contributing to enhancing your experience year after year.
Your wristband provides immediate and ongoing benefits:
Core Festival Access: Guaranteed priority entry and free access to every event in our open-air cinema, encompassing concerts, shows, international DJs, and a movie. Check the events programme calendar for the full schedule (9th to 19th September 2026).
Workshops and Activities: Access is free for wristband holders to the vast majority of activities, including workshops, classes, discussions, walks, and fitness sessions. A small fee or discounted price may apply only to activities involving materials, food, or transport to cover logistical costs.Â
Exclusive Discounts & Membership: Your purchase automatically grants General Access Membership status, providing instant, automatic discounts on all merchandise, official trips, and t-shirts that will be available for purchase in our online shop (valid until September 20, 2026). You can manage these benefits via your dedicated Membership Area after purchase.
Mandatory Unique Email Requirement
Your General Access Membership status is tied to the unique attendee information provided at checkout. To ensure every wristband unlocks its benefits:
You may purchase multiple wristbands in one order.
However, each wristband must be assigned a unique email address in the attendee fields.Â
About Single Night Tickets
While wristbands are purchased in advance for the full festival experience, we may offer limited ticket sales at the door for individual evening events, subject to venue capacity. These single-night tickets are not sold in advance and typically range from €15 to €25 depending on the show. If space is available, door sales usually open 15–30 minutes before the show begins, depending on the event’s schedule and the number of wristband holders who have already entered.
How will I receive my wristband?
Your wristband can only be picked up on location in Skala Eressos, from the Sappho Women Festival Office, during opening hours.
Due to the type of wristbands we use (eco-conscious recycled P.E.T. satin wristbands with metal clip closure), we are unable to send wristbands to your address. Please bring a (digital) copy of your invoice or ticket voucher with you to Skala Eressos, and with this you can pick up your wristband. Your invoice and ticket voucher will be e-mailed to you the moment you have successfully completed the checkout procedure on our website.
Terms and Conditions
Wristbands are non-refundable and cannot be exchanged. Leave your wristband on for the duration of the Festival, it is non-transferable and replacements will not be provided. We kindly ask that you take note of, and agree with, our Terms & Conditions before making your purchase.Â
Your contributions and support toward our ongoing mission of empowering women are deeply appreciated and greatly needed. Thank you!
