Households that fall within the Category 1, 2 or 3 catchment area may apply for 2 adult tickets per household and up to 2 Children (5-12 years or 4 & under). We look at the following criteria when considering which catchment area a household resides in:
Once we have assessed whether your address is eligible we will be in touch to allocate your tickets, or for categories 2 & 3, we’ll let you know you’ve been entered into the ballot.
Once applications have closed and we’ve drawn the ballot, we will get in touch with applicants to let them know whether they’ve been successful or not.
As always, we recognise that residents within close proximity to the park may be directly impacted by the festival and in areas where we deem this a possibility, we provide free or discounted resident tickets.
