What you get

Included with every VIP ticket

Posh toilets
The single most persuasive item on this list, at a festival in a wood, in June.
Fast track entry
Skip the main queue on the way in. Gates open at 13:00 and last entry is 16:00, so the time saved is time in the woods.
Exclusive VIP area
A separate area of the site, away from the crush of the main arena.
Main stage views
The VIP area looks onto the main stage, so you are not trading the show for the comfort.
Seating
Somewhere to actually sit down, which general entry does not have. Camping chairs cannot be brought in, so this is the only seating on site besides the general seating areas.
VIP bars
Your own bars, with your own queues.
Food
Food served in the VIP area alongside the bars.
Sheltered zones
Cover in the VIP area if the weather turns. It is an outdoor festival in the north west.
VIP lanyard
Your wristband and lanyard for the day.

You are not trading the show for the comfort.

The releases

VIP tiers

Every VIP tier includes the same package. The tiers are pricing stages, so the only thing that changes is what you pay and whether it is still available.
