Collecting Wristbands

  • You will exchange your ticket for a wristband on the day and then it’s first-come, first-served into all venues.

  • Please note we cannot guarantee access to any show but there will always be something else live or coming very soon in another venue!

  • You need to collect a wristband, whether you have bought a ticket from (Ticket Tailor or Skiddle), or are on the guestlist.

  • There are two box offices to collect these from (see below)

  • Please, PLEASE (!!) be noted at peak periods, this might take a little bit of time if there are queues, so please give yourself ample time to collect if you are coming specifically for a show.

  • Box office will go as fast as we can but we really recommend coming as early as possible on the day!

At Box Office 2, only ticket holders can collect a wristband here - not guestlist names.

PLEASE NOTE - 11pm will be the last chance to collect a wristband, the box office will be closed after that.
