  • What Is Included In The Ticket Price?

    The event is held in a holiday resort so all tickets include a pass to the festival + 3 nights accommodation which is either Self Catered (£180) and has private bathrooms and private bedrooms, a kitchen with cooking facilities and a lounge with a TV, or Room Only accommodation (£170) which has private bathroom, bed(s) and a TV. The TV has a channel programmed by Jeff Mangum and ATP.

    Because of the venue licence you cannot purchase tickets without accommodation or buy day tickets, so all tickets will include a festival pass + accommodation for 3 nights!

    So you basically stay on site in your own private accommodation with your friends for 3 nights and you ALSO get a pass to see all of the bands perform over 3 days, plus clubs with DJs until early in the morning, free cinema programme, use of site facilities such as tropical swimming complex and much more!

  • What's the policy on bringing your own alcohol on-site?

    Butlins requests that all festival attendees do not bring excessive quantities of alcohol onto the resort. The quantity that is deemed excessive will be at the discretion of Butlins. If any ATP attendees ignores this, their alcohol will be removed and returned at the end of the weekend. If any attendees repeatedly ignore this, they may be asked to leave Butlins.

    If Butlins feel that this request is being ignored then further action might be taken, which could include the searching of vehicles entering the resort. Therefore, they, and we, do request that you try not to openly flaunt the policy on excessive amounts!

  • What about Instalment Tickets?

    ATP will again be running a deposit scheme for the festivals to make it easier for some people to pay. We are offering a limited number of 4 berth apartments, both room-only and self-catering to be paid for with a deposit upfront, and the remaining amount to be paid by the end of February. Both come with a booking fee of £7.50 per person (£30 per apartment). These apartments will be sold at full price; £170 per person room only or £180 per person self catered.

    People who would like to hold a 4 berth room only, must pay a deposit of £70 per person, (£280 for the apartment). The remaining £107.50pp each (£430 for the apartment) must be paid by February 29th.

    People who would like to hold a 4 berth self catering, must pay a deposit of £80 per person, (£320 for the apartment). The remaining £107.50pp each (£430 for the apartment) must be paid by February 29th.

    As we will be holding the apartments for you, all deposits will be non-refundable, so please only apply if you are sure you can pay the remaining amount when it is due in August. If you are able to pay through a normal ticket agency upfront for your whole apartment, then please do so and leave the deposit scheme for those people who find it harder to get the full amount together in one go.

    You will be required to pay both instalments by either Paypal or cheque. Please email deposit(at)atpfestival.com with MANGUM DEPOSIT in the email subject line if you would like to take part in the deposit scheme. Please include: your name, address, which type of room you want (room only or self catering) and which payment method you would like to use (paypal or cheque). You will then be given details of how to pay by your chosen method. Chalets will be granted on a first come first served basis so please try to pay quickly once we have given you the details so that you don't miss out (therefore we recommend Paypal over Cheque).
