Yesterday the Moscow International Festival "Circle of Light" started in Moscow. The event is already calling card a city that will soon become the same as the Brazilian carnival in Rio.

Try to hit

All events that take place during the festival are free, and almost all have Free access. But you probably already know that there are sites that have very comfortable stands. This year it is the Rowing Canal. But the podium is practically a closed party. Now we will tell you how you can get the coveted ticket.

Influential and not so

The first and most simple thing is to look for friends, acquaintances, relatives who work in the organizing companies or sponsoring companies of the festival. We are looking for such people in the Moscow Government, in Rostec, in Aeroflot. Everything is simple here, open the page of the festival, see partners and call friends and acquaintances.

Magic word PRESS

The next option is you are a media representative or a blogger. With the media, everything is much simpler, they received accreditation and go ahead to do their job - to see and cover. Bloggers are a little more difficult. Anyhow, what kind of fans of writing on the Internet will not be given accreditation. You need to have a well-promoted resource with at least 100,000 subscribers. And if you represent an online publication, then at least 1,000,000 views per month. Evaluated your resource, looked at the statistics and go ahead for accreditation.

Almost sportloto

Let's try our luck. In the group of the festival "Circle of Light", the one in VKontakte are drawing tickets. Join and try to participate, maybe you are lucky. You can win tickets for an everyday performance on the Rowing Canal, but alas, you can’t win tickets for the closing. But more on that later.

Don't go by yourself, sell to someone else

The last option is almost unrealistic. Try to buy tickets. Of course, they are not freely available. But, there are those who have tickets, but they can’t go or simply profit from them. On Avito, offers for tickets vary from 800 rubles. up to 10,000 rubles But for 10,000 you will buy tickets for the closing of the festival.

Closing - they promise to bang

And now for the closure. The event promises to be great. The declared fireworks with a dome diameter of one kilometer are already impressive in their numbers. And how it will look in reality, you can only guess until you personally see it. There are so many people who want to enter that not all media representatives have received accreditation, there are also no tickets in the draw. But you can find 10,000 for a ticket in private ads.

Not everything on tickets is good

But do not rush to the stands and spend money. Just believe me, next to the stands you can see everything just as well, you will be in a more advantageous position, especially since the canopy of the stands cuts off the picture in the sky. Yes, there are inconveniences, standing for a long time, something may drip from above, but the declared show is worth it.

From September 23 to September 27, 2017, the VII Moscow International Festival "Circle of Light" will be held in Moscow.
The Circle of Light festival is held annually.

Especially for the competition of the best light and music teams in the VJing nomination of the ART VISION competition, a new space was chosen - concert hall"WORLD". On September 24, a bright musical battle awaits the audience, which will not allow you to sit still and infect everyone with dance courage.

A few days before the start of the Circle of Light festival, information appeared on the network on completely different Internet sites about selling tickets to Krylatskoye. The sellers assured that the ticket entitles their owner to attend the show as a VIP. The price of tickets started from 1.5 thousand rubles and reached, at certain venues, up to 8 thousand. Festival organizers emphasize that admission to all events will be free, and ticket sellers are nothing more than scammers. However, there is one caveat.

According to the organizers, all five open areas available to everyone, without any restrictions. In other words, no tickets, invitations, etc. Not needed. Anyone can come and watch the show. The only site that differs from the rest is the Rowing Canal in Krylatskoye. And the point is not that it is here that the most colorful action of a scale never seen before will take place, but that stands are initially located on this site. In order not to create unnecessary excitement and somehow control a large mass of people, it was decided to block them, and provide access to the stands only with special invitation cards.

“Entrance to all venues of the Moscow International Circle of Light Festival is free to visit. In 2018, the tribune is only at the Rowing Canal site in Krylatskoye. Invitation tickets can be won by participating in competitions held in the official communities of the Circle of Light festival. Tickets will also be raffled off at the media partners of the festival: for example, at Avtoradio in morning air, "Children's Radio", "Humor FM" and other radio stations. Traditionally, Muscovites can become ticket holders by participating in special promotion the Active Citizen project. The remaining tickets are distributed through government agencies, charity organisations and social institutions,” the press service of the Circle of Light Moscow International Festival told Krylatskoe.ru.

They also explained that all such invitations indicate that "tickets are not for sale."

“Everyone who tries to sell tickets to the events of the Circle of Light festival is committing fraudulent activities,” the organizers emphasized.

Apparently, tickets to the stands of the Rowing Canal are sold by those who received them, participating in various kinds of promotions and projects. At the same time, the purchase of such tickets "not for sale" carries a rather high risk. The fact is that among the sellers there may be real scammers who sell non-existent tickets, for example, printed on a color printer, or electronic. Since tickets were not on sale in principle, buying them by hand can turn into problems. Controllers will check them and not allow those people who have “fakes” in their hands to the stands. At the same time, it is impossible to prove that you acquired them legally, since, as already emphasized above, they were not on sale.

Moscow International Festival "Circle of Light" will be held in Moscow from 21 to 25 September. In total, five open areas will be involved: Tsaritsyno, Kolomenskoye, Theater Square, the Museum of Victory on Poklonnaya Hill”and the Rowing Canal in Krylatskoye. At the same time, two main events, opening and closing, will take place this year in Krylatskoye.

According to the organizers, last year, 2017, the show was visited by a total of about four million people. This time the number of viewers can reach five million. At the same time, it is possible that the site in Krylatskoye will be visited by the largest number of light show fans - about half a million people.
