If you see tickets advertised anywhere other than official outlets you stand a good chance of getting ripped off. This is because the terms and conditions of sale and entry state that tickets are non-transferable, which means that once purchased you can’t sell them on to others for profit. If you do buy from an unauthorised source you stand a good chance of being refused entry. Festival Republic will be unable to assist you if you have bought from an unauthorised source, as we will have no purchase history available for the ticket.

All event tickets are checked by our staff at entry to the event and again at the wristband exchange for camping shows – any forged tickets will be confiscated from you, you will not be permitted to the event and you may face questioning from the police. To be as safe as you can and to avoid obtaining a suspect ticket, follow these simple guidelines:

Do not buy from an unofficial ticket agent – see our list of authorised agents below.

• Do not buy from internet auction sites.
• Do not buy a ticket online without seeing its face value.
• Do not pay more than the authorised standard booking fee per ticket. These are displayed on the authorised sites.
• If you live in the UK do not buy from a website with an overseas office address or with no registered address shown.
• Do not buy from another individual or tout, either in advance in your home town, or outside the event If you ignore these pointers you are likely to pay a lot of money for something worthless as your ticket will be invalid.

Read here for more information on unauthorised ticketing.

If you are bringing a motorcycle, you’ll need to purchase a pass for parking. The bike park is located on the hard standing area in the West Car Park. One pass provides access to parking for one motorcycle for the duration of the event.

On Day Motorcycle Parking pass: £15.00

(subject to change – this will be updated closer to the event)

Shipping Details and Terms & Conditions:

If you have purchased a Car or Motorcycle parking pass in advance, you will be sent this with your event tickets no later than 7 days prior to the event. Parking passes are non-refundable. Parking passes cannot be exchanged for cash or resold.

The Download 2018 Loyalty Scheme has now closed. All applicants before the 31st March  deadline have been sent a result email to confirm if they’ve been accepted or rejected.

All those who received rejection emails, and then either correctly re-submitted or updated their profile, will have been sent another result email. If you have not received a result email, assume your re-submitted application was incorrect and rejected.

What is the Download Festival 2018 Loyalty Scheme and how does it work? ​

Year after year Download is an unforgettable experience, and we couldn’t do it without you, the fans. As a thank you and to honour the incredible Download family (the most loyal of all festival fans), we introduced a scheme that rewards this.

If you’ve been to Download once and are coming back for the whole weekend in 2018, you’ll be able to apply for a £20 voucher. 2 previous weekend visits plus this year will get you a £30 voucher, 3 previous years and this year qualify for a £40 voucher, and 4 previous times, or more, plus this year will get you a £50 voucher. See the breakdown below:

Attended once + Attending in 2018 = £20
Attended twice + Attending in 2018 = £30
Attended three times + Attending in 2018 = £40
Attended four times of more + Attending in 2018 = £50

1 + 2018 = £20

2 + 2018= £30

3 + 2018 = £40

4 + 2018 = £50

Important dates:

Applications open 00:01 on 19th Feb 2018.

Applications close 23:59 on 31st March 2018.

Decisions communicated via email on 16th April 2018.

No more Loyalty enquiries will be accepted after 1st May 2018. All decisions are final.

I’ve been accepted previously; do I need to apply again?

No, all successful applicants from last year were automatically enrolled in this year’s Loyalty Scheme and emailed with instructions.

Can I use my Download 2018 ticket in this scheme?

Yes. If you haven’t yet, get your 2018 weekend tickets here.

Who is eligible to apply?

We accept applicants who went to Download for the full weekend. Unfortunately no day tickets will be honoured.

For example, if you’ve been to Download 4 times, from which one of the years was a day visit, you’ll only be able to apply for a £30 voucher as your day ticket won’t be accepted.

Can my teenage child also apply?

Our ticket prices are based on age tiers. We only accept Loyalty applications made for Fully Priced Adult Weekend Tickets (13 years old and above). Please refer to our Ticket Terms and Conditions.

Can Carers and PAs apply?

We only accept applications made by fully paying Adult Weekend (aged 13+) customers (3 or 5 days).

My tickets to Download were a gift. Can I still apply for Loyalty vouchers?

Yes. If your tickets were a gift, you’ll need to provide the main booker’s account information on your application. Please check that the main booker is satisfied with you providing this information.

Unfortunately we can’t accept competition or promoter gift tickets as those don’t fall under Accepted category, please see above.

I can’t find the necessary reference numbers, or don’t have them anymore. What do I do next?

You’ll need to contact the ticket agent you booked your tickets with. Please allow extra time for communication with your ticket agent as the deadline won’t be extended.

If you bought your tickets in the box office onsite, or in a ticket shop, drop us an email on [email protected] and we’ll advise you further. Please allow time for us to get back to you and for yourself to fill in the necessary fields before the deadline.

For what period of time can I make my application?

Due to data privacy laws we, and ticket agents we work with, are only allowed keep customer information for up to 7 years. Please don’t make any claims for 2011 or prior years.

We booked our tickets as a group of 6. Will each of us be able to receive a voucher?

Yes. Every person needs to apply separately providing the main booker’s account information outlined on the form, but the email address you use always has to be yours. The same applies for applications made with a friend/partner/family member. We need this information to confirm authenticity of your application.

Unfortunately we won’t be able to process any joint group bookings or applications made for more than 6 people.

Where and when can I collect my £20/£30/£40/£50 vouchers?

You can collect your vouchers at the Download Loyalty Collection – close to the main gate. The collection point will be open as soon as the Arena opens until 7pm on the Friday, Saturday and Sunday of the festival. They will cease being accepted as tender when the Arena closes on Sunday evening.

OR, if the item is £6 you’ll need to top up by £1 if you have, for example, one £5 voucher to use. The £2 cup deposit scheme is not included and you must pay for this with cash.

I’m not coming to Download 2018 anymore. Can I give my voucher to a friend?

Vouchers are non-transferrable and must be claimed by the individual who applied for them.

No, they do not roll over each year. Stay tuned for info on the next Loyalty Scheme.

I applied with a friend/partner/family member. They were issued a voucher but I’m still waiting.

As stated on the application form, all applications had to be made individually using your own email address. One voucher would be issued per application, only one application per person.

My application was rejected. Why?
