We shall only be required to refund the face value of the ticket where the Festival is cancelled or postponed before it is started, or as required by applicable law. In the event of postponement of the Festival before it has started, and where it is rescheduled to another date, the ticket holder may elect to either use the existing ticket for the rescheduled date or apply for a refund. Refunds under these circumstances must be applied for within 3 months of the date of cancellation/postponement. Any refund requests must be made by the original purchaser of the ticket.
We reserve the right to make alterations to the time, date, duration and venue of the Festival in the event of unforeseen or other circumstances, including (but without limitation) Force Majeure, safety and security concerns or decisions from authorised persons or other competent authority.
Unless otherwise agreed at our sole discretion, a ticket will not be exchanged or refunded if:
- after the Festival has started, it is stopped for any reason and is not completed;
- on any day of the Festival, the start time is delayed for any reason;
- the start time (but not the date) of the Festival changes after the date the ticket was purchased; or
- the ticket is used for entry into the Festival.
Tickets are in the form of QR codes and will be scanned upon entry; once a code has been scanned and swapped for a wristband it cannot be used again.
The first scanned ticket to arrive at the event will be allowed entry; any subsequent ticket with the same code will be denied access. Please treat your ticket as you would cash, the organisers accept no responsibility or liability for any inconvenience caused by the unauthorised duplication of a ticket. Do not post images of your barcode on social media.
4. Admission
Admission is at the ticket holder’s own risk. By entering the Festival you consent to those in your party participating in the activities on offer.
Tickets can only be purchased through our official website www.festivalofsportuk.com. Do not buy tickets from other third party sources, as we cannot guarantee entry or ensure these tickets are genuine. Invalid or duplicate barcodes will not be allowed entry into the festival site.
The name associated with your ticket purchase must match your ID. If you purchase a ticket from a friend, you must ensure that you inform us of the name change associated with the booking and the new ticket owner must contact us to confirm their acceptance of these Terms and Conditions and the event waivers. Tickets without a genuine name associated to them will not be allowed entry.
Wristbands must be worn at all times. We understand that some activities may result in a wristband being damaged or lost. In this instance attendees are required to report this loss to the Festival organiser to request a replacement. Those without valid wristbands will be removed from the site. All wristbands issued by the Festival remain their property until the end of the Festival.
In order to facilitate the security, safety and comfort of all guests, the Organisers and Premises Licence Holder reserve the right to refuse admission or evict from site.
Amongst other things you will need to comply with health and safety rules and any security requirements. As the safety of our guests is a primary concern, we may operate security searches and as such you may be searched on entry and any prohibited items will be confiscated.
You will ensure that all those in your party understand the importance of their safety and will comply with the rules and instructions given by the staff in charge.

Unaccompanied children (aged under 18) will be refused entry at the gates. Children must be accompanied by an adult on each occasion they enter and leave the Festival.
Children are the responsibility of their appointed adult at all times whilst at the Festival. Whilst we do not expect older children and teenagers to be with their parent or guardian at all times, we do expect them to camp together, and for the child/teenager to know the location of their adult, and have means of contacting them, or agreed meeting points. We will take action to return teenagers who are considered to be intoxicated, displaying antisocial behaviour or felt to be vulnerable, to their adults, who will be informed that failure to monitor the behaviour and activities of their teens will result in both their and their teen’s eviction from site.
Any unaccompanied child who is not able to locate or contact their parent/guardian will be taken to a dedicated area where security and festival organisers will endeavour to contact their parents.
