No, but you can choose to add 1 or 2 car passes to your booking after you have added your tickets to the basket. These are at no extra charge, it’s to ensure you get the number of passes you require.
For RIP accommodations, there is one pass per 3 guests included in your booking, i.e. a Bell House for 4 includes 2 car passes.
RIP Hotel bookers are not sent a car pass, as they have parking at their hotel included in their booking.
We encourage car sharing to minimise our impact on the environment so please share the journey with your friends where possible!
Generally, you should expect to receive them around 5 days before the festival. Please refer to your Ticketmaster account for the status of your booking. Please note we will send out full arrival instructions will be sent out a week before the festival.
