  • I want to see Jeff Mangum, can I do that and not buy a 3 Day Pass? Why doesn't the Friday Day pass include his show?

    Day passes do not include Jeff Mangum as he has requested to perform in the stunning, but smaller Paramount theatre which will not hold the full festival capacity - therefore only Weekend Jeff Mangum ticketholders are allowed access. Jeff will play a separate solo headline show at the Paramount Theatre on the Monday night, tickets for which are $35.

  • Our band would like to play ATP and they are great, how do I go about it getting them booked in?

    Sorry but all acts and DJ's playing ATP are selected by the curators or by us directly. Our curators have a list as long as their arms of acts they would like to invite, and so do we! So if you haven't been invited it is not likely to happen. Sorry, maybe next year?

  • Is it right that some Weekend ticketholders are only guaranteed to see Portishead once?

    Yes, unless you have the 'Portishead Three Day Pass' which guarantees access to both Portishead shows, you are only guaranteed to see Portishead once.

    If this applies to you, when you check-in on arrival at the event you will be asked to choose whether to see the band on Saturday or Sunday.

    Before the two Portishead shows the room will be cleared - it will then be re-opened and people with guaranteed access on that night will enter, as will Day ticketholders.

    If you don't have a priority access pass on either night, there will be a separate queue you can form and you may be allowed into the performance on a one in, one out basis, however day ticket holders and weekend pass holders with priority access pass will be allowed in ahead of you.

  • I'm confused about the different weekend pass types - can you clarify the difference?

    Unfortunately due to unforeseen circumstances the different types of Weekend Pass were announced at different times, causing some confusion for which we apologise.

    To see a full rundown of the different types, click here.

    The main thing to remember is that we have not changed any of the original Weekend passes in any way except by name - we have just added on new types - so if you bought a ticket before the new types were announced then we have not downgraded it in any way. If the page above doesn't answer your questions, please feel free to email us at feedback @ atpfestival.com and we'll get back to you as soon as possible.
