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
The campsite will open at midday on Thursday 15 October and close at midday on Monday 19 October. Please note that facilities will be provided in full during this period.
Please note you will need to be in possession of a valid weekend admission ticket/pass in addition to a camping ticket in order to gain access to the campsite.
