Refunds and Exchanges

No refund will be given for tickets bought on the day of the Festival.

Tickets bought prior to the opening night are not refundable unless the Festival is cancelled by us for the night in respect of which the ticket is valid in which case, on written request within 2 weeks of the event, either half of the price paid for the ticket will be refunded or the ticketholder can exchange the ticket for a ticket for another night at the Festival in the same or immediately following year.

Force Majeure

If an advertised band is unable to attend and play at the Festival, no refund will be given but we will use reasonable endeavours to procure an equivalent replacement band.

Delivery of Tickets

We aim to dispatch tickets as soon as possible after an order placed via our website or via our ticket hotline but we are not able to give a specific dispatch date or delivery date. All tickets are sent by 2nd class post up to the weekend prior to the festival. Any tickets ordered from 4pm on the Friday before the festival to noon on the Monday before the festival are sent by 1st class post. Ticket pre-sales close at noon on the Monday before the festival. After this point tickets can only be purchased at the box office. If your tickets have not arrived by 4pm on the Friday before the festival please contact us quoting your transaction reference number, name and address. Tickets are also available from outlets in the Reading area. These change annually so please check the tickets page on our website for details of outlets for each festival.
