Tiered Ticket System
Tickets for The Secret Garden Party 2013 are being sold on a tiered ticket system. A set number of tickets will be sold in each tier, gradually increasing in price. This approach which operates at other events enables us to limit the increase in capacity.
Deposit Scheme
For the 4th year, we will be operating a deposit scheme. The deposit scheme will allow you spread the payment of the ticket(s) over simple 2 instalments; you will have until 30th April 2013 to pay your balance. The payment link for the balance payment will be in the confirmation email of the deposit order. All The Secret Garden Party deposits are non-refundable; if you place a deposit and do not pay the balance of the order by the 30th April 2013 you will not get a refund.
IMPORTANT TICKET INFORMATION
Tickets will not be dispatched until 3 weeks before the party.
If you are aged 13 -17 you will only be granted admission to the festival if a guardian who is aged 21+ accompanies you. Photo ID will be requested at the ticket gate from anyone who appears to be under 21 years of age.
There are a very limited amount of child tickets available; please book early to avoid disappointment.
The date of Secret Garden Party 2013 is subject to change.
A vehicle tax of £5 will apply to all vehicles arriving with 2 (or more) empty seats, payable on the gate.
Please be aware that The Secret Garden Party does not tolerate illegal drug use. Anyone caught using or distributing illegal drugs will be severely reprimanded. Drug detection dogs will be working on the gates in order to stop any illegal drugs entering the site. Police will also be patrolling the festival site.

Family Camping Pass
Family campers must have at least one child aged 16 or under in their group. A family camping pass will entitle you to 3 adult and unlimited children's 'family camping area' wristbands. These wristbands will be issued in exchange for the family camping pass on the gate. If a member of your group is arriving separately, you should email info@secretgardenparty.com and request that their wristband is left at the Information Point for them to pick up on arrival.
The privileges listed below will only be available to the group arriving with the ticket.
Priority Parking (show your family camping pass for a priority parking space)
A team of dedicated barrow boys and trolley dollies to help you transport camping equipment from your car to the family campsite (There may be a short waiting time during busy periods)
'Beat the Queue' - A dedicated ticketing lane for families at the main pedestrian gate
For friends / family members who wish to camp with a family camping pass holder, we allow an additional TWO standard wristband holders to upgrade, per family camping ticket. You must request these wristbands in advance of the festival. Please email info@secretgardenparty.com. These will be available to collect from the Information Point - NOT at the pedestrian gate.
Everyone entering with a family camping pass must also be in possession of a festival ticket. Under 12's must be in possession of a child's ticket.
Campervans
We have limited campervan field space. Only ONE tent may be pitched with each vehicle - this should be pitched behind the vehicle. The campervan field will be within the festival site.
The Site
The party spreads across a beautiful, but undulating landscape. There are some metal temporary roads in place but the landscape can be difficult to traverse, especially if the weather is bad. Some areas, such as the pontoon and steep slopes may not be accessible in bad weather. Please take this into consideration and bring whatever equipment you may need to make getting around easier.
Please be aware that there is strobe lighting and flash photography at The Secret Garden Party.
Glitter Not Litter...
PLEASE KEEP OUR GARDEN TIDY. We will give you bin bags - please use them. Leave all packaging at home or in the shop you brought it from. If you are coming from Tescos please leave the packaging there.
