Communication to Members

Hay Festival Colombia 2027

Twenty-two years ago, Hay Festival came to Colombia with the conviction that a good conversation can change the way we see the world. Today, we bring together more than 70,000 people each year, alongside nearly 200 writers, thinkers and artists. The contributions of our Benefactors make it possible to bring the festival’s programme to children and young people in the neighbourhoods and rural districts of Cartagena and Bolívar.

The 2027 Members Programme fees are as follows:

• Single Membership (PBS): $2,650,000

• Dual Membership (PBD): $4,400,000

Below are the benefits of joining the programme:

Priority booking: Access to reserve up to 20 events per person during the four days of the Festival (maximum one ticket per selected event).

Exclusive booking period: Members will have priority to select their 20 events between 17 November and 9 December 2025.
Note: From 10 December 2026 onwards, you may continue selecting events, but these will be subject to general availability once the remaining tickets reserved for the Members Programme are released.
