Badge Pick Up

Badge Collection for In-Person Visitors

From one week before the festival, accredited visitors will be emailed all the individual information about the pick-up location and opening times of their accreditation counter.

From Tuesday, February 10, 2026 until Friday, February 20, 2026, accredited visitors who have completed the accreditation process (including online payment) can pick up their physical badge (Market Badge, Festival or Student Accreditation) at the Berlinale Service Center on Potsdamer Platz (Theaterufer, 10785 Berlin).

Students must show a valid student ID when picking up their badge.

Even if you use your festival or student accreditation exclusively to book online tickets for festival screenings, you must still present your physical accreditation badge in addition to your online ticket when entering the cinemas.

You can collect a badge for another person by showing their personalised badge pick-up letter at the accreditation counter.
