We pass 100% of ticket income on to our venues, acts and promoters. There is a standard £1.50 booking fee charged on all tickets to help pay for the Box Office. Booking fees may vary on some shows, as we need to align to the venue or promoter’s policy. There is a maximum charge of £10 per basket. Booking fees are never refundable.

These are the details and arrangements for buying tickets via the main festival website. If you buy tickets from elsewhere, booking fees and arrangements may differ so please check with who you are buying tickets from.
Unfortunately, all tickets are non-refundable as agreed at time of purchase. This is because the money from the tickets goes directly to the artists and venues therefore, we cannot approve refunds.
