Let’s make PILAR a safe(r) and inclusive space. The responsibility is everyone’s.

PILAR is a space for everyone to experience, create and connect. Keeping it welcoming and safe is a shared responsibility, so we ask everyone to respect our house rules.

Tickets & access

Events at the PILAR BOX, including concerts, theatre performances and club nights, are accessible with a valid ticket. Tickets are available online or at the box office. We offer reduced prices for young people under 26, whether you are a student or a young professional.

The PILAR EXPO is free to visit during opening hours — just walk in.

During concerts and club nights, you are free to enter and leave throughout the event. For theatre performances, entry is only possible at the starting time indicated on our website. Once the performance has started, no one can enter, as we want to avoid disturbing the performers. Please arrive on time.

Respect each other

We want PILAR to be a space where everyone feels welcome. We do not tolerate discrimination, bullying, harassment or violence, in any form — physical or otherwise.

When interacting with others, respect their boundaries and always seek explicit consent. No means no.

If you witness or experience something that makes you feel uncomfortable or unsafe, please speak to a PILAR staff member at the box office. We are here to help.

Photos & videos

You are welcome to record music performances with your phone. Please avoid using flash, as it can disturb the artists and other visitors. Please also respect everyone’s privacy. Do not photograph, film or share images or videos of other people without their explicit consent.

What you can and cannot bring

For everyone’s safety, outside drinks, weapons and glass objects are not permitted inside PILAR. PILAR has a zero-tolerance policy on drugs, in line with VUB policy. Thank you for helping us make PILAR a space where everyone can feel welcome, respected and free to experience culture in their own way.
