TICKETING

Is there a minimum age to attend?

All ages are welcome for this event but anyone under the age of 14 must be accompanied by an adult. Tickets are free for under 12s.

I want to attend the concert and already have a daytime ticket – do I need to purchase a separate ticket?

Yes, the evening concert (which will be taking place from 6pm to 8pm in the Fireworks Factory) is ticketed separately from the daytime activities. Daytime ticket holders will be given priority for booking evening concert tickets when sales open on the 30^th of October. Please look out for your exclusive concert ticket offer email.

I didn’t get a chance to buy a daytime event and only got hold of a concert ticket. Can I come and attend daytime sessions?

We’d be delighted to welcome you to any of the sessions taking place in the Fireworks Factory. Due to limited seating in all other spaces, however, you will not be able to join any of the other sessions.

Do I have to pre-book my ticket?

Yes - space is limited so we strongly encourage you to book in advance to avoid disappointment.

Do you offer free tickets?

We hope to make our events more accessible to all. If the ticket price is preventing you from joining us, please email activistevents@amnesty.org.uk to request a free ticket.

I work with a community group. Can we book multiple tickets?

To make our event more accessible, we are offering free tickets to community groups and grassroots organisations who would like to bring a small group of people to the event. If you work or volunteer with people within your community and would like to take up this option, we’d love to hear from you. Please contact activistevents@amnesty.org.uk.
