ILOILO City — Tickets for the January 2025 Dinagyang Festival can now be purchased online.
Festival goers can secure their tickets through the official website dinagyangtickets.com, according to the Iloilo Festivals Foundation, Inc. (IFFI).
Buyers are allowed up to 10 tickets per transaction.
IFFI executive director Joyce Ann Clavecillas said the initiative aims to provide a seamless ticket-buying experience, especially for those outside the country.
“This is part of IFFI’s efforts to make ticket access easier and more convenient, no matter where you are,” Clavecillas said.
The online system ensures stricter ticket management, as each ticket will be embedded with a unique QR code that will be scanned before entry into the designated judging areas.
The online tickets are exclusive to two key judging areas – Quezon-Ledesma and Mabini-Delgado. Each has a ticket allocation of 1,000 seats.
Separate tickets will be issued for the Dinagyang Ati-Ati tribes competition and the Kasadyahan.
A dry run was held over the weekend.
Ticket Pricing
* Dinagyang Festival (January 26, 2025) – Gold Tier at P2,500; Silver Tier at P2,000
* Kasadyahan (January 25, 2025) – Gold Tier at P1,200; Silver Tier at P700.
While all ticket sales are final and non-refundable, they are transferable with proper authorization.
Meanwhile, at the Freedom Grandstand, 2,400 seats have been allocated for city government representatives, IFFI sponsors, and invited guests, said Atty. Fydah Marie Sabando of the IFFI Stage Management Committee.
A similar setup is planned for the Provincial Capitol viewing area.
The Dinagyang opening salvo Dinagyang is scheduled on January 10, 2025./PN
