Tickets:

How many tickets can I buy at one time?
As many as you like. Just make sure you have the details for everybody you are buying them (name, uni, travel option)

Can I pay a deposit?
Sorry but the closing date for paying deposits has now passed.

I have just booked online. When do I receive my e-ticket?
You will have received a confirmation when you booked. You can also log in to check you booking. Physical tickets will not be sent out.

You also need to make sure you select either coach or park and ride in order for the booking to go through the system.

Are there any day tickets available?
No, unfortunately not. But why would you want to???

When does the festival open / close?
The festival gates open at 10am on Monday and close 1pm on Thursday.

Travel:

I am driving to the event. Where can I park?
There is a park and ride facility for all ticket holders who decide to drive. Details of where this is and directions will be sent to you and will be up on the website on the 1st June.

To protect our beautiful Polzeath there can be no parking or drop - off's in the area, this will be enforced by the local council. It’s a beautiful small town that prides itself on being a little piece of heaven and we have to be responsible to all the people that live there and who have been so supportive of the festival by not having thousands of cars driving through their village! For this reason we are very strict on this and will not make any allowances.

Do I have to pay for the park and ride?
Yes. You will need to pay for this when you purchase your ticket.

I have booked a coach – where do I get collected from?
Collection details will be sent to you on the 1st June, however the first band begins at midday Monday 9th so in order to get you to the music in time some coaches will leave early Monday morning (if you're a southener) and others during Sunday night (if you're from tracksuit town).
Roll on the road trip!

What time do the coaches arrive?
Times of coaches are to be announced on our website soon...

I booked a ticket but didn’t book a coach. Can I book one at a later date?
Yes – that’s fine. Just go into your booking and add a coach ticket

What time does the park and ride run?
Regular buses will be running from 8am to 6pm Monday and 8am to 4pm Thursday. There will be a reduced service at other times. The park and ride is staffed all hours of the day, so there is always someone around who can help you when you need it.

How can i take part in the Ecorace?
If you would like to enter the ecorace send an email to jess@beachbreaklive to find out more.
All entrants need to select the park and ride option when booking their ticket, you will be refunded the £8 after you can prove you travelled in an eco friendly way. You could do this with photos or a video perhaps...

Why is there no option to book using public transport instead of coach or park and ride?
If you would like to use public transport, you need to select the ecorace option - i.e. pay £8 for park and ride, which you are refunded when you prove you have travelled in an eco friendly way.
As above, email jess@beachbreaklive.com if you want to enter the ecorace.

We have done our own investigating, but don't quote us as it's best to check with these guys above...

The nearest train station to Polzeath is in Bodmin. In fact, there are 2! - You want to get to Bodmin Park Way, then take 2 buses to Polzeath. Bus 555 leaves Bodmin Park Way every couple of hours (first 9.45am, last 4.45pm) This takes you to Wadebridge Bus Station. Then get Bus 584 to Polzeath Beach Car Park and walk along the coast path to Carruan Farm.

Make sure you leave early because if you miss the buses, we won't be able to come pick you up!

Accommodation:

Is it a camping festival?
Yes!

I don’t have a tent. Can I buy one?
You can buy them on the website when booking your ticket. Otherwise there will be a few for sale at the event.

What happens if it pisses down with rain?
We all get wet…

Also – there is enough indoor space for all of us so there will always be a place that you can be in the warm and dry.

Other:

What should I bring with me?
We will be sending out an email on the 1st June with info on what you might want with you at the event.
