It is possible to resell any unwanted tickets using our resale platform, Tixel. Here you can list your tickets to the festival via a safe and secure platform. Although we can’t guarantee your ticket will sell, there is currently a long waiting list signed to a nearly sold out event.
Please do not buy or sell tickets to the festival using any other third-party / ticket resale platforms. Our ticketing providers are SEE Tickets or Tixel (for resale), we are therefore not liable for tickets purchased outside of these platforms which means we cannot guarantee their authenticity and therefore your entry to the festival.
