What Founding means

Fifty seats at a price that will not come back. After that the price only moves in one direction.

The lowest price this event will ever have.

€749 is the opening price of the first edition in Venice. It rises to €999 when the fifty are gone, and three more times before the doors open.

Upgrade at your own tier.

Move from MasterPass to MAX at any time before 11 February 2028 and pay the difference at the price you booked at, not the price on sale that day.

€249 holds your seat.

Pay the deposit today and the balance on 31 December 2027. Full refund on the deposit until that date.
