Sunday: Adults £38, 13-15-year-olds £22, Senior Citizens £28. Under-13s go free.

If you have chosen to have tickets posted (not print-at-home) you will need to bring the originals to the circuit as copies and receipts are not accepted. All advance tickets have now been dispatched and were sent by either Recorded or Special Delivery, meaning a signature is required.

In the unlikely event yours haven't arrived in time, contact us urgently during midweek office hours on [email protected].

Print-at-home/e-tickets are emailed on the day of purchase. If you haven't received yours, you can access them by logging on to your MSV account. Your order confirmation email will not gain you admission to the venue - you must have your e-tickets printed or scanned from a mobile device.

Please have your tickets separated before arriving at the gate.
