Ticket Guide
Everything You Need To Know
Build your perfect R&A. It all starts with your festival ticket - your key to two days of music, mountains and midnight magic. From there, add camping to stay close to the action, upgrade to glamping or UFK for extra comfort, or level up with VIP. Every add-on stacks to create your ultimate New Year’s adventure in the valley.
Festival Entry
General Admission (GA)
GA is your base ticket - it’s what gets you through the gate. Everyone coming to R&A needs to buy a GA Ticket.
- 2-Day GA: Entry on 30 + 31 December. Our most popular ticket.
- Single Day GA: Entry for 30 or 31 December only.
👉 Add-ons like camping, VIP, and premium upgrades can only be added once you have a GA ticket.

Add-On Stacking
How it Works
- Everyone camping needs their own individual camping pass.
You only need one premium add-on per group/vehicle (e.g. one Campervan Pass for everyone in the van).
Some upgrades require stacking:
Premium camping upgrades (Glamping, UFK, Pre-Pitched Tents, Campervans) must be purchased with a 2-Day GA + a 2- or 3-Day Camping add-on.
👉 Example: Two people camping for three days in a campervan would need:
- 2 × 2-Day GA tickets
- 2 × 3-Day Camping add-ons
- 1 × Campervan Pass
