Tickets

This year we have the possibility to change the ticket for a wristband in advance. If you want to do this, please come to Lasipiha at Kaapelitehdas on Thu between 10:30-18:00.

On Friday the doors and the wristband exchange will open at 11:30. When you arrive at the exchange point, please remember to dig out the QR code from your email before your turn at the counter. Please keep your phone screen bright to help with the QR code readers! Please note that one ticket gives entrance to one person, regardless of the ticket type. Once exchange to a wristband, the wristband is non-transferable, i.e. one wristband equals one person. A single wristband can only be used to provide entrance for one person during the event.

Some ticket groups do not contain a QR code. If yours does not, find the queue that is marked as “Special Cases”.

Important: The event is sold out, so we will not be selling tickets at the door.

ON TAKING PHOTOS AT THE EVENT

We do not encourage taking photos as we respect the privacy of others, but if you feel the need to take photos, make sure to restrict the photographing to cover only you and your friends (and even with them, ask them permission first!).

We have an official photographer at the site – you can recognize them by their badge. They will always ask for permission before taking pictures of individual, recognizable people.
