FAQ

General Admission will be Thursday onward, so please come when gates open at 11am on Thursday September 29. If you bought an early entry ticket, gates open at 1pm Wednesday September 28. If you are setting up a theme camp, art installation, mutant vehicle, or are part of the Public Works Team, then you are able to come in on Wednesday with approval. Gates should be open by 1pm for early arrivals . The gate procedure is still applicable for early arrivals and you’ll need to have a valid ticket and ID and be assigned a wristband. Wednesday night is setup only, so theme camps will not be operating. If you are thinking of turning up at the gate on Wednesday without an early entry or pre approval, then think twice. We’re not there to start the party early, we’re there to get-r-done. Thanks for understanding!

Flying camera gadgets are not permitted
