Dream Nation FAQ
Can I leave the festival and come back?
No, any exit is final.
Do I need to print my ticket?
Printing on an A4 sheet is recommended, but an e-ticket on a phone also works. An e-ticket must be printed in A4 or downloaded as a PDF from the ticketing platform where it was purchased.
Do people with reduced mobility need a specific ticket?
No. Buy a ticket through the general ticketing, then make yourself known to a security staff member at the entrance, who guides you through the dedicated access facilities.
How can volunteers and ambassadors get involved?
Volunteering is open to adults only. Applications are subject to approval, places are limited (first come, first served) and shifts average 5 hours. The ambassador program earns points per ticket sold to friends, redeemable for tickets, VIP upgrades, artist meet-and-greets and backstage tours.
How should tickets be resold?
Use the official resale platform. Do not share the ticket barcode on social media or buy from unauthorized resale platforms (Facebook, Snapchat, Leboncoin), as entry may be denied.
