Tickets
Where do I buy tickets?
On folken.no or in Akvariet, our bar on the ground floor. Our ticketing partner is Linticket. Tickets bought online are sent by email; check your spam folder if they don’t arrive. You can also find your tickets at Linticket.
Student discount
Students at universities and university colleges, Politihøgskolen, military academies, upper secondary schools and apprentices get a discount. Foreign student cards are accepted.
Bring your student card or proof of enrolment.
Gift cards
Gift cards for tickets on folken.no are sold by Linticket.
Refunds
Tickets are only refunded if an event is cancelled, moved to another date or in case of another mistake on Folken’s part. The ticket fee is not refunded. Tickets bought by mistake are not refunded.
If an event is cancelled, you must request a refund no later than the original date, unless stated otherwise. If an event is postponed and later cancelled, tickets are refunded no later than two weeks after the cancellation is announced.
The show is sold out. Can I still get a ticket?
Yes, if someone resells theirs through Linticket’s official resale. Tickets bought there are guaranteed valid and sold at the original price.
Is it safe to buy tickets on Facebook or Finn?
We recommend buying only through Linticket. Tickets from others may be invalid, and you may be turned away at the door. It is also illegal in Norway to resell tickets above the original price.
Age and entry
Age limit and ID
The age limit is 18 unless stated otherwise for the event. Bring valid ID: passport, national ID card or driving licence. Digital ID on your phone is not accepted at Folken yet.
Under 18: coming with a guardian
The guardian scheme does not apply to every event. If the event says «18 år eller med verge» next to the age limit, you can come with a guardian.
The guardian must be over 25, sober and a parent or legal guardian, and can be responsible for no more than two minors. Hand in the completed guardian form together with your ticket.
Does my companion need a ticket?
No. Your companion doesn’t need a ticket and shouldn’t book anything. Buy a regular ticket for yourself, and your companion comes in free with you. Show your companion certificate (ledsagerbevis) at the door.
Wheelchair access
The entrance for wheelchair users is through the backyard, where you’ll also find the lift. Volunteers and staff are happy to help. Let us know when you arrive.
Unfortunately, Grottene is not yet accessible.

When do the doors open?

Is there a cloakroom?
Unfortunately, we don’t have a regular cloakroom.
Do you speak English?
Yes. Many of our volunteers are international students, and our staff are happy to help.
I forgot something

Students
Folken is the student society house in Stavanger, for all students regardless of where they study. There is always room for more people, in front of, behind and on stage.
Free use of our rooms
Students, student organisations and study associations can use our rooms for free for student activities, and we help with the practical side.
Free wifi and student prices
Akvariet has free wifi and student prices in the bar. Bring your student card.
Volunteer
Folken wouldn’t run without our volunteers. No experience needed. We ask for two working nights and one meeting a month; in return you get on the guest list for our shows, discounts in the bar and a great community. Sign up here.
Hosts
Checking tickets, working the bar, collecting glasses and making our guests feel welcome. A great place to start. Later you can become an artist host or house host.
Sound and light
