How does the e-ticketing system work?All tickets are sold online, just click onto the buy tickets page. Once you make your purchase you will receive an email confirmation with your e-ticket attached which you can download and print off or keep in your emails. Upon arrival, our events team will scan your e-ticket barcode and your details will appear on our computer with what you have purchased. You will then be given your allocated wristband for the day/weekend and directed to the relevant area for parking or camping. Please note, once the e-ticket has been scanned you will not be able to scan again as the ticket will show up on the screen as already checked-in. Wristbands must be worn at all times and will be checked when entering any of our festival areas. All those without wristbands will be declined entry to the festival site.
