For Glasgow Zine Library and Glasgow Zine Fest events, we use a Pay What You Can (PWYC) sliding scale ticketing system for all programming unless otherwise stated.

You can choose to pay £0-12 for all events, workshops and talks. 

Please be honest with yourself and your financial situation. If you purchase a ticket at the lowest end of the scale when you could afford the higher ticket prices, it makes it harder for us to provide financial flexibility to those who need it.

If you have booked a ticket and can no longer attend, please let us know as soon as possible so we can offer your space to others who wish to attend.

How to estimate what to pay for Pay What You Can (PWYC) events:

  • I frequently stress about meeting my basic needs and don’t always achieve them. 

  • I live in low-rent housing or have unstable housing. 

  • I am unemployed or underemployed or on benefits. 

  • I access foodbanks and other voluntary sector support.

  • I can’t always afford transport, have no access to savings and have very limited expendable income.

  • I rarely buy new items because I am unable to afford them and cannot take holidays or time off.
