Frequently asked questions

Why is there a fee to attend this year's event?

We, in common with many other free events, have experienced a reduced number of attendees versus the number of registered attendees. To try and mitigate the impact that reduced attendance may have on several factors of the event, we have made the difficult decision to introduce a fee.

What will my fee go towards?

Fusion Fest is a not-for-profit event and monies raised from ticket sales will be used to support community events throughout the year. Sign up for GCID's newsletter to keep up to date on how you can register your interest in gaining support for your community event through this fund.

I can't afford the ticket price, is there anything you can do to support me?

We aim to be an inclusive event. If you cannot afford the cost of the ticket, please email us at info@glasgowcityinnovationdistrict.com and we can discuss available options with you personally.
