Tickets
***NEW THIS YEAR***
There are no physical tickets. Your automated E Ticket should be with you within 30 minutes of ordering. You’ll need to show your E Ticket, complete with bar code, on arrival. If your email doesn’t arrive within 30 minutes, please get in touch with Gigantic Tickets at customerservices@gigantic.com or give them a call on 0115 807 7900. Please check your junk folder first though!
Weekend wristband colours will indicate if you are entitled to camp or not so please make sure you book the correct tickets. We have a 3 tier weekend ticket system which is the fairest system we can adopt. As always, the earlier you buy your tickets, the cheaper they are.
Each tier has a limited number of tickets and when they’re gone, they’re gone so please book early! When tier 1 tickets have sold out the price will automatically change to tier 2 and so on.
Family ticket options (with or without camping)
2 adults and 2 children 5-10 yrs
2 adults and 1 child 5-10 yrs and 1 youth 11-17 yrs

Concession tickets are for people aged 65+ (men & women), full time students, people claiming Universal Credit (UC), Jobseeker’s Allowance (JSA), Employment and Support Allowance (ESA) or Personal Independence Payment (PIP).
Customers requiring a carer may purchase a second weekend ticket at the concessionary price.
