ArcTanGent is not a child orientated event, therefore we do not have any children’s entertainment.
TICKETS
Look out for your instalment ticket confirmation email from help@gocardless.com. Sometimes this email is slightly delayed and can end up in your junk mail.
Have no fear, we will be in contact before the festival and will send you an official ticket. You can expect the ticket 2 – 3 weeks before ArcTanGent.
We are unable to change the bank account which you signed up with, but you can call GoCardless on 020 7183 8674 to do this.
The first instalment leaves your account roughly 3 - 5 days after you started the plan (this depends on your bank).
We are unable to amend dates the instalment payment leaves your account.
This isn't a problem. GoCardless will automatically retry the payment 3 - 5 working days after the payment was missed.
Refunds are only offered during refund windows. If you're unsure if you purchased during a refund window, please reach out here
You can use DICE's transfer feature. More info here. If you have an instalment ticket, you'll need to fully pay off your ticket first before you can transfer it to someone else.
All ticket purchases made through DICE can be found within the DICE app. Simply click your tickets tab where you'll be able to view your tickets and event details. If you have any further questions about your tickets, you can contact DICE through their help centre by clicking "Need help?" on your tickets or our DICE event.
If you purchased one of our instalment tickets, we'll be in contact around July time.
If you are without a smart phone, you can purchase a DICE ticket via a desktop browser but you will still need a mobile device to purchase as they'll need to register a mobile phone number. You won't be able to show a screenshot or a print out of your DICE ticket, instead, you can rely on our house door list for name check in.
As you'll see, both require a mobile phone number to activate the account. More info here.
Alternatively, Eventbrite / Instalment tickets can be printed out and scanned.
THE FESTIVAL SITE
Yes! Head to the mobile charging station where you can charge your phone or other electronic devices, you can also hire a battery pack for the weekend.
We have lockers available for hire to securely store small personal items. Lockers for hire are sized 150mm high x 165mm wide x 360mm deep, they are perfect for wallets, passports and cameras. Find them at the mobile charging + lockers station!
We have a general store and camping shop onsite, so you can find all your festival essentials and restock if you forget something or your air bed goes flat.
ArcTanGent has a few simple rules to make the festival an enjoyable experience for all.
- No dogs or pets on site (except guide dogs).
- Fires and charcoal BBQs are not permitted on site.
- No drugs.
- SLR and other professional cameras are only permitted on site with a press pass. Compact digital/film cameras are fine for all non-press attendees.
- Under 18s need to be accompanied by an adult (a responsible person over the age of 21).
There are showers available for VIP ticket and GENERAL ticket holders in the campsite
Our merch tent is positioned in the middle of the site, opposite the central bar. You will be able to buy ATG merch, clashfinder, band merch and records.
CASHLESS
Yes, no cash will be accepted onsite. If you find a trader or bar accepting cash, please report this to festival reception.
1. Due to the many moving parts at a live event, cashless payments is now recognised as the global best practice at festivals around the world.
2. Cashless payments make your festival experience easier, faster and safer.
3. It makes service at the bars and vendors much faster and reduces queues.
We are now a cashless site and there are no cash machines on site. No traders or bars should be accepting cash and this should be reported to festival reception.
Absolutely. The system we use is designed to be fail-safe, able to operate without internet or power and has been used flawlessly at hundreds of events around the world. It was built to have no central point of failure.
Definitely not. Cashless offers far greater customer convenience, removing the need to bring and carry cash or queue at expensive ATM’s, as well as providing many other benefits such as keeping a record of all your purchases. It also deters thieves and criminal elements making the event safer as well as more enjoyable.
No, this year we are going truly cashless and you will be able to pay with your debit card/phone or watch (if you’ve got that ability).
All the traders & bars are hard wired into the wifi network so you can just pay for stuff as you go.
This has the massive advantage that you no longer have to set up an account ahead of time, preload funds or set up auto top ups. AND best of all, no need to claim any leftover money on your wristbands as a refund.
Just as with a cash transaction, if you think you have been charged an incorrect amount after having made a purchase, tell the vendor immediately and they will be able to correct it. The festival and the trader is unable to rectify this after the event.
