How Do I Get Tickets?
Please see the Tickets section of this website where you can buy tickets from us online, by post or in person from selected shops.
If there are any tickets available on the door these will be a lot more expensive than on the door; that is if any are left as we anticipate selling out very quickly.

Like any other event, ticket agency or box office, we cannot replace lost tickets so make sure you keep them safe!
What are the Opening / Closing / Re-entry Times?
Doors open 7pm. Music ends midnight (DJ possibly until later).
You can leave and Re-enter The Festival up to 10pm each day.

Getting Wristbands on the day
On arrival you will be directed to Wristband Exchange. If you have ordered an e-ticket you will need ID and either a mobile version or a print out of the ticket.
Please note that ticket exchange closes 10pm each day. We do this for every Undercover event this way it discourages pi**heads and all that entails.
