Ticket info

At Greenbelt, we try to keep our ticket prices as affordable as possible. We want to enable as many people from a wide a variety of backgrounds to access the festival. Below is a list of the concessions tickets available and the ID required.

Concession Ticket Types

*Faith, youth and community leader concession tickets are only available to a person in full-time employment in a leadership or pastoral capacity (such as clergy or youthworker) at your place of work.

Applications for our Open Festival 2025 are now open.

We know that even with the radical generosity of our community and our new ticketing model, there will still be those who fall through the cracks. Even though our Concession ticket is there as a safety net – there are some for whom a festival is beyond their reach. That’s why our Open Festival free ticket scheme invites you to nominate people, who you know would value and benefit from the Greenbelt experience but can’t make it work financially.

Please read the below guidelines before applying.

How we make our decision

We can’t support everyone, so to help our decision-making please do give as much detail as possible in your application. We may have to come back to you for further information.

We are looking for applications that give a sense of how attending Greenbelt might benefit your nominee and why the Open Festival scheme is absolutely the only way in for your nominee.

You might especially want to think about refugees and asylum seekers in your churches and communities who you could nominate and then bring.

We do sometimes support repeat applications over a number of festivals, but in those cases, we are looking for evidence of a move toward self-sufficiency or development in that time.

If you are successful, you will receive a free ticket/s that covers entrance to the festival and the use of our camping fields. Greenbelt cannot provide expenses to cover your travel or any accommodation costs. If you will be bringing a car or camper van then you will need to include this in your application.

Every other month we’ll review all the applications we receive, and respond to everyone who’s applied with our decision. So you won’t have to wait long until you find out if you’ve been successful.

Our hope is to make around 200 free Open Festival tickets available for next summer’s festival in response to your nominations across the year. But if there are more deserving nominations than we’re anticipating, then we’re not capping these tickets. As Mike Scott of the Waterboys sings: Bring ‘Em All In.
