Tickets
All advance sales have now closed. Additional tickets will be available to purchase on the gate at full price.

Please use card or contactless payments wherever possible.

If you have chosen to have advance tickets posted (not print-at-home/e-tickets) you will need to bring the originals to the circuit as copies and receipts are not accepted.

 All advance tickets have now been dispatched and were sent by either Recorded or Special Delivery, meaning a signature is required. If you haven’t received them, contact us urgently during midweek office hours at [email protected]

Print-at-home/e-tickets are emailed on the day of purchase. If you haven’t received yours, you can access them by logging on to your MSV account online. Your order confirmation email will not gain you admission to the venue – the e-tickets themselves must be printed or scanned from a mobile device.

Please have your tickets separated before arriving at the gate.

Gazebos and other structures
You are welcome to bring small, open fronted tents and other small outdoor structures (without sides) to general spectator areas, but we reserve the right to take down larger gazebos and other similar temporary structures if we consider them dangerous, or they obscure the views of others.
