Tickets
Additional admission tickets will be available on the gate. Please click here for more information.

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 or downloaded before arriving at the gate.

Camping
Camping is available for relevant ticketholders on-site from midday on Friday 5 June, closing at midday on Monday 8 June. Weekend ticket holders who haven't pre-booked camping can still pay on the gate.
Adults are £40, Teens (13s-15s) are £25 and under-13s go FREE.

You must have a valid weekend admission ticket/pass and camping ticket(s) to be allowed into the campsite.
