All Car Parking hangers including Campervan/Caravan will be sent out via post before the festival to the address linked to your booking. On the day, all you need to do is display your car park hanger for entry to the dedicated car park.
Motorbike customers will not receive a hanger, you will be sent a digital ticket which you scan on your way into the festival, you will then receive a wristband to attach to your vehicle.
If you have a question relating specifically to your ticket purchase, you will need to contact the ticket agent you purchased your ticket from directly.
