Concessions (or discounts) are available especially for children but there are limits on the number of these tickets so get them early.
Under 5's get in for free but they will still need a ticket, so don't forget the little ones when ordering your tickets.
It is important that when picking up tickets at the festival office you bring the booking reference number with you. If asking a friend or relative to pick up tickets then you will need to supply them with written authorisation.
