Tickets

There has been significant confusion surrounding discounted tickets which are due to go on sale on Saturday morning.

The cheapest tickets will be made available to those who can prove they’ve been to three or more Electric Picnics, but there has been difficulty establishing how this system will work in conjunction with Ticketmaster.

Ticketmaster issued a statement to DailyEdge.ie yesterday:

An email will be released to all previous customers in the near future. Also, Ticketmaster will be in a better position tomorrow once festival organisers have released all relevant  information.

Yesterday evening that email containing a discount code was issued to those who were in Ticketmaster’s records as having purchased tickets for Electric Picnic in the past seven years.

There are two types of discount, one for those who have attended one of two times, and one for those who have attended three or more times. If you feel you have been provided with the incorrect discount code, Electric Picnic organisers have this advice:

There are plenty of ways to show proof that you have attended the Picnic  over the years to name but a few ……… old wristbands, ticket stubs, official programmes, photographs which indicate different years attendance, screen shots of social media showing messages, travel receipts to festival or accommodation receipt dated…….. So contact the team at info@electricpicnic.ie for any help with your ticket purchase.

A team will make the decision or request further information and email a unique purchase code to use with Ticketmaster where appropriate.

Tickets go on sale on Saturday morning at 9am.
