Tickets and prices
Doors 13:00 — 22:00. Prices are per person for the full day. Tickets are sold online and, while there is room, at the gate — but capacity is capped, so buy ahead to pay less and be sure of your place.
Adults from R99 · Kids from R49 · VIP R450
Where to buy
Quicket is our ticketing partner, and the route to buy from. Your ticket is emailed to you and scanned once, at the single gate. A limited number of tickets are also sold at the gate on the day, at a higher price and only while there is room — see the gate price below. Refunds, transfers and what happens if the festival is cancelled are in the ticket terms.
Coming to the show? The festival shirt and sweater can be pre-ordered and collected at the merch desk on the day — and every garment includes a ticket, so if you buy one before you buy your entry, you may not need a second.

Before you book
Good to know
Everything people ask before they buy. Still stuck? The festival office answers — phone and email are in the footer.
Where exactly is the festival?
The Wicket at Newlands Cricket Grounds, Cape Town, with the adjoining Snakepit Museum as the second building. You do not choose a building when you buy — the whole site is one festival.
What does a VIP ticket include?
A voucher to spend on food and drink, priority queues at the gate, on-premises underground parking at no extra charge, and a private seating area beside the music. The voucher covers a choice of food and drink from the traders — it is not a set meal. Everything a general admission ticket gets is included on top.
Is it indoors?
Entirely. The main hall is 816 m² of clear span with no internal columns, and the museum floor is next door under the same roof line. The festival runs in any weather.
Where do I park, and how much is it?
Public parking is R30 per car for the day, on the Groote Schuur High School sports field next to the ground — a short walk from the gate. VIP tickets include on-premises underground parking, so there is no charge and no queue at the gate.
Can I bring children?
Yes. Kids tickets cover children aged 12 and under — R49 early bird, R59 standard, and R200 for a VIP kids ticket; at the gate a kids ticket is a flat R60. Children under 6 are free. Everyone else entering needs a ticket of their own.
How many tickets are there?
2 450 in total, split across the early bird, general admission and VIP releases. Each release is capped, so once one is gone it is gone.
Can I buy tickets at the gate on the day?
Yes — while there is room, and at a higher price. A limited number are sold at the single gate on the day at a flat R120 for adults and R60 for kids. The festival is capped at 2 450 people, so the gate can sell out before the evening; buying online ahead of the day is cheaper and the only way to be sure of entry.
Are the venues accessible?
Both buildings have level or ramped access and accessible WCs. Tell us your requirements in the mailing-list form and we will send the specific route and door before the day.
