Tickets

Tickets for 4 to 6 June 2027 are not on sale yet, and ticket details and the programme are still to come. In 2026 a wristband for one, two or three days, from £35, £45 and £50, gave entry to every show, galas and live podcasts included, with re-entry through the day; single-show tickets were few, and their holders had to arrive 15 minutes before the start to keep their place.
