How to Order an OIAF Pass

Step One

Create or access your account using the OIAF Visitor Portal, hosted by Eventival.

Once your account is set up, you can access the portal year-round to buy passes and access passholder exclusive content.

If you are making a new account, you will be asked to verify your email address
(check your spam folder).

You may get a message:

“An account with this login email address already exists.”

If this happens to you, hit ‘Reset my password’ and wait for the password reset email. (Check your spam filter.)

Once you have reset your password and logged in, you will find some of your contact information is there waiting for you from the old OIAF database.

Don’t forget your OIAF Visitor Portal (Eventival) login. You’ll need it to access all sorts of OIAF resources and information during the Festival and year-round.

Step Two

Fill out or update the ‘Personal Information’ form. Please make sure to fill out all fields marked with an asterisk (*). The information here is private except for TAC passholders who opt-in to be listed in Who Is Here.

Step Three

Fill out or update the ‘Contact Information’. This information is for OIAF use only. Add a new contact to attach yourself to a company.

Step Four

Buying your Pass (Accreditation)

Once you have set up your account, you will be able to access the OIAF Visitor Portal hosted on Eventival.

Click on the ‘Accreditation’ menu item, select your pass, and complete your order. Once your pass is processed, you will get an email with a few more instructions.

If you would like to apply to be a part of the Artist Gallery, please fill out the form you’ll find in the left sidebar under ‘Forms’.

Buying for more than one person? We can help. Email our Registration Coordinator or call (613) 232-8769.
