Tickets 
All tickets for the event are e-tickets, which is a PDF file you can either print off or show on your phone.  

To avoid any entry delays and if you are attending with your tickets on your phone, make sure you have downloaded the PDF, as screenshots will not be accepted and mobile signal may be weak. If you have a cracked phone screen, please make arrangements to print your tickets, as the barcode will not scan from a cracked screen. 

Please allow plenty of time for entry procedures, ticket checks and bag searches. 

Travel Information  
Please use the main car park which will be FREE of charge for the night. Keep in mind that we are expecting large numbers and so recommend leaving extra time for travel. Stewards will be on site to aid those who need accessible parking.
