Buy Tickets to Tribfest 2009

Ticketing

Q: If we book tickets in advance, can they be collected on the day?
A: Tickets purchased in advance will all be posted by registered post 2 weeks before the festival. On production of your ticket on the day we will allocate you with your chosen wristband on arrival shown on site map

NOTE Your wrist band must be shown at all times and will be checked any broken wrist bands will be taken off person and the person WILL have the choice to buy another wristband or removed from the site. All those without wristbands will be removed from the site

Q: Can we leave the site at any time throughout the festival:? We would hope you dont need!!

A: All people upon arrival will be stamped and given allocated wristband any one returning without a stamp will NOT be allowed entry. It's your own responibility that you make sure you are stamped upon arrival and have the correct wristband.

Q: Can my tickets be refunded if I am unable to attend on the day?
A: Tickets are non-refundable, non-returnable, and non-transferable. If having bought tickets you find you are unable to attend, you can return them to us, and if the festival is sold out, we will attempt to resell your tickets. If we are successful, we will refund your purchase at face value. Otherwise, we will not pursue individuals who attempt to resell small quantities of tickets for genuine reasons. The non-transferable rule is in place to help us stamp out organised touting.

Q: Do we still need to order a ticket for our Under 5's even tho they're free of charge?
A: Under 5's can come free, but the number of under 5's are limited. So you must 'purchase' the free tickets when you order adult tickets, and the under 5's will only be allowed entry on production of a valid ticket and (if requested) proof of age.

Q: When will the tickets be sent out?
A: Tickets will be mailed well in advance of the festival - and should arrive with you no later than Friday 13th August 2010 at the very latest.

Q: Will we be able to purchase tickets on the gate?
A: That depends if there are any tickets available. If there are, they will be sold on the gate, but the gate price will be higher than the advance price.

Q: Will there be seating?
A: The festival is all standing, and it is not possible to book seats, or to bring furniture (other than small collapsible chairs) into the arena.

Q: Can we take our own chairs?
A: Tribfest isn't a 'picnic show', and people tend to stand to watch the acts on the mainstage. We therefore don't allow people to bring furniture (other than small collapsible furniture) into the main arena - as it would be a saftey problem, and you wouldn't be able to see much anyway! Of course the various bars and catering areas have some seating available, and you're welcome to bring rugs or shooting-sticks, so you needn't be on your feet all day.

Q: Is there a central meeting point?
A: There is an information point at the Festival which you can use as a meeting point. You can also leave messages there for other festival-goers.

A: We try to make the festival as accesible as possible to those with special needs. Those with Disabled Car Stickers will be able to park in a special area near the arena - but please note it is still some way (across grass) to the main arena, as dictated by the site. There are disabled toilet facilities in the arena and campsite. If you have particualar needs, get in touch with us in advance. We'll do our best to help.
