When buying a 'Family Ticket', you actually buy a bundle of five individual tickets. This way you and your 'Family' get the chance to buy your tickets at a small discount. You do not need to enter at the same time, as individual tickets can be sent to your friends.
You can sell your family ticket one at a time via Ticketswap if one of you isn’t able to come anymore.
This year, we’re working with sealed tickets. This means you can see your order confirmation and can only download your tickets 24 hours in advance to the festival.
This year we will be working with ‘Sealed Tickets’. This means you will receive your order confirmation including a download for your ticket via email, but you will only be able to download and see your tickets 24 hours in advance of the event. The main reason we use ‘sealed tickets’ is that it’s a safer way of selling and buying tickets and it prevents ticket fraud.
