Individual tickets

All tickets purchased online will go into your native account, however you must also pick-up a wristband during the day of each event by 9pm (unless the event starts earlier), this is to minimise queuing on the night and make your night better. 

Access

If you have a wristband for an event that night this will gain you access but please note this does not guarantee you entry as we limit capacities to keep everyone safe, we advise you arrive as early as possible. 

- Entry cut-offs 

If you don’t pick-up your wristband on the day before 9pm then you may not get entry to the building as we work with strict capacities and must adhere to them
