We kindly invite you to create a myDOK account with our website. This way you can mark favourite shows and have access to your purchased tickets at all times.
Of course you can buy tickets anonymously “as a guest“ as well, the tickets will be sent to you via email in any case.
You need a pdf-reader to view (and print) your purchased tickets.
If there are no tickets available to purchase for any screening this means that the show is either free anyhow or there are no more tickets available – the show is sold out. You can try showing up on the venue, there might be some leftover tickets available as part of the “Last Minute Sale”.
The question mark icon on any show might give you additional information as well.
You are able to receive 5 tickets per show per purchase, we want to keep it fair for everyone.
Your purchased ticket is viable either printed or digital (online tickets). Please present it at the entry to the cinema hall. If you have a reduced ticket, please provide verification as well.
Season tickets must be presented as well, if you received your ticket with one.
We offer you to purchase a season ticket (regular: 75.00 € | reduced: 45.00 €) to watch the complete festival programme in our cinemas. We sell the season ticket for the first time online this year as well.
Did you buy your season ticket offline at the box office? You can link it here to your myDOK account and hence use it to buy tickets online as well.
With the season ticket you need to then order additional free single tickets at the box office or online for your shows, because we cannot know in advance, which screenings you want to actually see in the end.
These free tickets you need to then present at the cinema hall – alongside your season ticket and possible proof of discount.
There are no reservations available this year.
We’d like to reintroduce the festival spirit in Leipzig, so there will be no allocated seats beforehand. You can choose your own seats, but please follow the instructions of our staff.

Even if a show is sold out, there is one last chance to gain access to the film.
If free seats are still available with the start of the film (returned by customers or made invalid, because someone did not show up) we provide those a second time in the “Last Minute Sale”.
You can only receive these tickets at the respective venue right before the screening starts. The process differs in each location, so keep yourself informed in advance!

Our goal is to get as many people as possible into the cinema hall, but please forgive us if you cannot enter after all. We try our best to make it possible! First come, first served.
With an accreditation you generally have free access to our shows, but you need to reserve single tickets in advance for your desired screenings. You can do that during the festival week at our box offices and also starting now in our online ticket shop. Please check our FAQ for accredited guests to see which rules apply.
Admission is free to our film screenings at the Polish Institute and at the East Hall of Leipzig’s central railway station as well as to our Extended Reality exhibition DOK Neuland.
We also invite you to join the audience of our Masterclass with Peter Mettler and the three DOK Talks – all at free admission at Propsteikirche St. Trinitatis.
