INFORMATION

How do I buy a ticket for the festival?

You can grab your tickets online HERE

I have lost or can’t find my ticket in email account, what do I do?

No worries! Just contact office@tireemusicfestival.co.uk and we’ll help you get it sorted.

The ticket isn’t in my name — is that okay?

Yes! If you bought multiple tickets together, it’s best to arrive as a group. If that’s not possible, bring your own ID and any student or concession cards, and have the contact details of the named ticket holder handy. Each ticket has a unique barcode and can only be used once.

I don’t need my ticket anymore. Can I get a refund or sell it?

Refunds aren’t available, but you can sell your ticket independently. We recommend using our official resale partner Tixel HERE

Tickets bought from other sellers are at your own risk.

Do you offer day tickets?
