FESTIVAL FAQ

All tickets are listed with our primary ticket agent Skiddle, and can be found on the event page. Check out our limited VIP and Group tickets before they’re gone!

To be admitted into Time Off Festival you must be 16 years or above.

Those 16-17 years must provide a form of Government ID, or ID that bears the PASS hologram at accreditation and will be issued a ‘Young Adult’ wristband.

Those 18 years and over will be issued an ‘Adult Wristband’ which permits the purchase and enjoyment of alcoholic drinks. We operate a Challenge 25 Policy and may ask to see your Government ID, or ID that bears the PASS hologram at accreditation as well as at the bars.

Tickets are emailed to you directly by the ticket platform you purchased from, such as Skiddle. We strongly recommend you screenshot or download the ticket to your mobile device in advance as mobile signal may be unreliable. RapidScan tickets purchased through Skiddle don’t have to be printed and can be scanned from the Skiddle App. You can also add your ticket to your Apple wallet or download the PDF to your device.

VIP ticket holders experience the festival in a different way, with Fast Track entry; access into an adult only VIP Arena with view of the Main Stage, an exclusive VIP bar with seating to relax, as well as posh loos.
