Tickets
How does wave-based ticket sales work?
We are once again running wave-based ticket sales for Con Morhen, releasing only a limited portion of total capacity in each wave so that as many people as possible have a fair chance of securing a ticket. For our most dedicated fans who want to lock in a place early — even before the detailed programme is available — we offer discounted tickets available only in the first wave.
This means tickets will become available again in subsequent waves. If a wave sells out, the next allocation will open in the following wave.
Can I sell my ticket if I can no longer attend?
If you cannot attend, you may transfer your ticket to another person, but only with our assistance. Tickets resold or transferred without our involvement will not be considered valid.
How long do I have to pay after completing my order?
Tickets must be paid within 5 days of placing the order. After five days we routinely cancel unpaid orders and notify you by email.
Can I buy a ticket at the event itself?
Yes, tickets may be purchased on the day, but only if they have not sold out before the event begins.
How soon after paying will my ticket arrive by email?
We process tickets every morning and evening. If you pay immediately you should receive your ticket by email within 24 hours.
Can I buy a ticket for just one day?
Yes, a limited number of single-day tickets are available for Con Morhen. For more information visit the tickets page.
What do I need to present at the entrance?
You must present your ticket (digital or printed) together with a valid ID. Upon entry you will receive a wristband that must be worn at all times and shown on request — without it you cannot prove your right to be in the venue. A lost wristband can be replaced at the info booth for an administrative fee of 50 CZK. Leaving and re-entering the venue is possible — ask the entry staff for an exit stamp when leaving.
Can I get a refund on my ticket?
Tickets are non-refundable. In case of health issues or other serious circumstances, please contact the organisers at info@conmorhen.cz — we handle cases individually.
Costume & props
Is there a costume requirement?
There is no mandatory costume at Con Morhen. Costumes are very welcome, but if you do not have one, simply avoid conspicuously modern clothing. Modern glasses and footwear are fine — just try to avoid shoes in strikingly artificial colours.
Can I wear a costume of a known Witcher character?
Yes, cosplay of any character from The Witcher universe is permitted.
Can I carry weapons as part of my costume?
Yes, weapons may form part of your costume — but all weapons are subject to inspection upon entry. Specifically:
- Latex, foam and wooden weapons (without sharp edges) are permitted after inspection.
- Bows without arrows or with soft LARP arrows are permitted. Shooting a bow is prohibited throughout the venue — the only exception is the Nazair Brigade camp.
- Metal weapons are permitted only if blunted. Their use (including drawing) is allowed exclusively in designated areas and with an informed audience. Endangering other visitors is prohibited.
- Sharp weapons are strictly forbidden.
Can I wear face paint or a face mask?
Prosthetic makeup and partial face effects are fine. However, face masks that conceal your identity are not permitted at registration or entry — your face must be clearly visible.
What items are prohibited at the venue?
- Drugs and illicit substances.
- Firearms, including airsoft replicas.
- Pyrotechnics and fireworks.
- Alcohol brought from outside — exclusive sales apply within the venue.
Venue & stay
Are children allowed at the event?
Yes, children are welcome. Certain age-based restrictions and ticket prices apply:
- Children aged 0–4 — free entry
- Children aged 5–14 — discounted ticket, must be accompanied by a parent at all times
- Visitors aged 15 and over — full ticket price
- Visitors aged 15–17 — entry only with a signed permission slip from a legal guardian
Children under 15 must always be accompanied by an adult over 18, who bears full responsibility for them. Parts of the evening programme may be unsuitable for younger viewers — please follow the programme markings.
Are animals allowed at the event?
No. A strict no-pets policy is in place at Con Morhen. This is for the safety of both visitors and animals, and is also required by the venue's own regulations. The only exception is the themed camp of Nazair / Nilfgaard, where trained police dogs are officially present.
Where can I leave my belongings?
There is no supervised storage at the event. Please use your tent or other accommodation to store your belongings.
What is the parking situation?
There is no large parking lot directly associated with the castle gardens in Roudnice nad Labem. We recommend scouting a spot in advance — both paid and free parking are available in town. For full details, see the Before You Arrive page. We strongly encourage carpooling for ecological and economic reasons — offer your spare seats in the Hype Morhen group.
Is it possible to light a bonfire in the venue?
No. Lighting any open fire is prohibited throughout the venue — including the use of gas stoves. Bonfires as part of scripted narrative events may be permitted only with the organisers' approval.
Are there quiet hours at the festival?
Yes. Quiet hours apply from 22:00, especially in the tent camp. Please observe them strictly.
What should I know about tent accommodation?
If you have chosen tent accommodation, you will receive an access wristband at the info booth. Set up your tent in any marked area, but please do not unnecessarily block space for other tents. New for 2026: flush toilets! Portable toilets will be limited to the absolute minimum. Showers will also be available for a small fee and will be time-limited to prevent water waste.
How do I get to Roudnice?
The easiest connection from Prague is by train from the Main Railway Station (Hlavní nádraží) — the journey takes about an hour. According to current timetables, the last train back to Prague leaves at 22:40 (we recommend verifying this just before the event). Before your trip, also check for current road closures in Roudnice. Important for those staying in the hall: the bridge in Roudnice is open to pedestrians but not to cars. Full details on the Before You Arrive page.
How should I behave in Roudnice outside the venue?
Please behave respectfully and considerately toward local residents. Observe quiet hours, especially outside the festival grounds. Use only the official toilets — the nature (and the bushes) around the castle is not a public restroom.
Food & payments
Can I bring my own food and drinks?
There will be a wide selection of food and drinks available on site, but you are welcome to bring your own — particularly if you have specific dietary requirements. Please do not consume your own food and drinks in any indoor areas.
Can I pay by card at the event?
Yes, card payment is confirmed at the info booth and at all bars. Payment methods at vendor stalls and Artist Alley vary by seller. The info booth offers cashback with a 2% fee on the withdrawn amount.
Should I bring cash?
We recommend bringing some cash — payment methods at vendor stalls and Artist Alley are at the seller's discretion. Past experience shows that demand for cash can quickly empty the local ATMs on the nearby square. The info booth offers cashback with a 2% fee.
Photography
Can I take my own photos at the event?
Photography and filming for personal use are permitted throughout the venue. Always ask for consent before photographing a specific person — especially for close-up shots. Photography in camps and private areas is prohibited without explicit consent. Photos featuring minors must not be published on social media without the consent of a legal guardian. Commercial photographers and media must contact the organisers in advance and be accredited.
Organisers and their photographers may take pictures in the venue for documentation and promotion of Con Morhen. By entering the venue, you give your consent.
What if I don't want someone to photograph me?
Photographers should always ask your consent before taking close-up shots of you. If they do not, do not hesitate to tell them to stop and to delete any images already taken. If someone refuses to respect your wishes in this regard, please report their behaviour to the organisers.
