Instalment Plan options are available for all Weekend Ticket types, allowing you to split the cost of your ticket into three easy payments.

To take advantage of our Instalment Plans, head to our ticket page and select  the instalment plan option for the ticket type you wish to choose, i.e. ‘5 Nights Standard Camping (Instalment Plan)’. You will then see a breakdown of payments, and payment dates.

Please note: there is a £5 non-refundable payment plan fee on all payment plan bookings. Use of the payment plan is subject to ticket and upsells availability.

Instalment Plan T&Cs

Want to gain valuable experience on your CV, whilst helping us continue to make Download one of the best music festivals in the world?

Volunteer with Hotbox Events and not only will you be helping other festival goers get the most out of their weekend but you’ll also get to go behind the scenes, meet other volunteers from around the world, and make new friends.

When joining as a volunteer at Download you’ll be provided with entry to the festival (including lots of free time to also enjoy it), plus access to staff camping, cafes, toilets and showers.

Volunteers assist with a wide variety of areas, and it’s tricky to list everything they get up to, but some of the most common roles include…

• Assisting Download Festival goers with directions.
• Helping Download Festival goers carry their belongings and pitch their tents.
• Answering questions about Download Festival performances and line-ups.
• Reporting any problems such as a build-up of litter or faulty facilities.
• Work alongside Download Festival Fire Safety, Medical and Security teams.
• Keeping an eye on the Download Festival campsites from the fire towers.
• Helping out with various roles across the Download Festival site including pedestrian and vehicle gates, wristband exchanges, keeping an eye on facilities, monitoring stages and walkways.
