Is my ticket personal?

If you received a physical ticket, then yes, it is unique and yours only. It's important to know that if you lose it, we will not be able to replace it. Upon arrival at the entrance, you will exchange your ticket for a bracelet.

If you purchased a ticket online, then you will be able to swap it with a friend if you so choose, as it can be scanned by the owner upon entry.

After you received your bracelet on the day itself, you can’t swap it anymore. The bracelets are personal and are secured, people without whole bracelets will be asked to leave the festival.

No smoking!

No dogs. (as we have kids running around)
