Tickets
Additional 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 Saturday (24 May) until midday on Tuesday (26 May). This is FREE but only limited facilities are available.
You must have a valid weekend admission ticket/pass and camping ticket(s) to be allowed onto the campsite.
Please note that electrical hook-up is not available anywhere on the campsite.

Gazebos and other structures
You are welcome to bring small, open fronted tents and other small outdoor structures (without sides) to the general spectator areas, but we reserve the right to take down any larger gazebos and other similar temporary structures if we consider them dangerous. If they obscure the views of others we will ask you to relocate or remove the structure.
Please be considerate to those around you and speak to a member of staff if you have any concerns.
Here to help
Excellent customer service is important to us, and all our staff are trained to help you make the most of your visit to the circuit. Whether you need assistance to find a lost child or to locate a disabled toilet, please ask one of the many uniformed staff you will see throughout the venue.
Children's Wristbands
You're able to pick up one of our free children's wristbands from the Megastore. Write your name and phone number on the back of the wristband so we can contact you should you become separated from your child at any time.
Security
The safety and security of all our visitors is paramount, so please be aware you may be subject to bag searches and security checks at our venue. We would also politely ask, as an additional security measure, that you put luggage tags on all of your bags detailing your name and mobile number, so that it can be easily identified. Please do not leave your bag or personal belongings unattended at any time.
