Early Bird tickets will be priced at £120 and will be available from 10am until 11:59pm on Saturday 27th September. There will be no allocation limit on these tickets - they’ll be available to everyone purchasing on that day. This is in response to last year’s feedback to the limited amount of early birds selling out so fast.​At midnight, ticket prices will move to our General Admission tier, priced at £129. This tier will remain available until the allocation is sold out, after which we’ll move to our Final Release, priced at £139.​As always, payment plans will be available across all ticket types. VIP add ons will be released at a later date and will require a general admission ticket to be bought first.
