30.3.2012 The concept of this year’s visual presentation of the DEF reflects a practical joke at the expense of our current society, based on discounts and bargains, and affected from all sides by the financial crisis in Europe and the world. The visual concept is reflected in the sale of tickets. We are selling them with various discounts and bonuses (such as the ticket sale on the “Slevomat” discount server, tickets for 30 crowns if bought on a concrete day, senior discounts etc). Ticket price (without discount) is 90,- Kč. This year’s innovation is online ticket sale that has been launched by Prague’s Světozor and Lucerna cinemas. Now you can not only book tickets on this web site, but also buy them online.
