Q: How does the ticketing work?

A: To guarantee entry you should buy a ticket in advance online HERE or from The Old Stables Inn, Beattock, from June 1st. If you buy your ticket online this will be scanned at the door and exchanged for a wristband. If you buy your wristband from the Old Stables THIS IS YOUR TICKET and should be worn to the event.

No ticket = no wristband. No wristband = no entry.
