Find out all the information about ticketing

• How can I purchase an entry ticket for the trade shows?

  Tickets can only be purchased through our website.

• Can I get a refund or exchange my ticket?

  As stated in our terms and conditions, admission badges are neither exchangeable nor refundable. https://platform.wsn.community/en/general-term

• Can I get a free invitation?

  The Salon International de la Lingerie does not distribute free invitations directly. We invite you to contact one of our exhibitors, as each exhibitor is allocated a quota of invitations that they may distribute.

• When and where can I obtain my badge for the trade shows?

  You can register and obtain your badge up until the day before the event.

• How can I apply for press accreditation?

  You can apply for a press or media badge by completing the “Press Accreditation” form available through our ticketing platform. Our PR agency will review your application and inform you whether it has been approved or declined, based on the relevance and quality of your media outlet.

  If your badge is marked “Press”, you will be authorized to film and take photographs using professional equipment and will have access to our VIP/Press Lounge.

  If your badge is marked “Media”, these privileges will not apply; however, you will still benefit from complimentary accreditation.

• I attended the previous edition of your event. Do I need to register again?

  Yes. Each edition of our events has its own ticketing system, so you will need to register and obtain a new badge for every edition, even if you attend every year.

• How can I obtain an invitation letter for my visa application?

  Unfortunately, we do not issue official invitation letters specifically for visa applications. However, your registration confirmation or badge purchase confirmation serves as proof of professional invitation and is generally sufficient to support your visa application with the relevant embassy or consulate.

  If you need us to resend your badge or provide any additional information, please contact us at [email protected]
