Tickets for the fun-packed Festival are priced from AED 39 and can be purchased from selected Magrudy’s outlets in the UAE or from the Festival’s official website- www.emirateslitfest.com. As a community event, many of the Festival attractions will be free, including the Fringe Festival, the Fringe Parade and a Time Out Kids Zone.
Commenting on the enthusiastic response to the 2010 Festival, Festival Director Isobel Abulhoul, said: “We’ve built on the overwhelmingly positive reaction to the inaugural Festival from the community, with more authors, an expanded programme and a greater range of activities.  The Festival’s line-up includes something for everyone - stimulating workshops, readings, entertainment, chill-out zones, a children’s activity area and a free Fringe Festival showcasing local talent. The Festival will bring together thousands of people from across the UAE and throughout the region who enjoy discussion, debating ideas or simply having a great day out.”
