Can I be a volunteer?
At this stage, V Festival won't be engaging volunteers, however groups such as Virgin Mobile Angels and Act Now will have volunteers onsite at the festival.
What time does it finish?
We'll be wrapping things up in all cities by 10pm, but please check our website all the way up to the event for updates, 'cause things change!
Are there any other bands to be announced?
Now that would be telling wouldn't it? Sign up for updates if you haven't already so we can let you know.
Are you taking submissions for bands to play the festival?
No, we are not taking any more submissions for this year's event, but thank you for your interest. Submissions for next year's event should not be made until after the 2008 dates have passed.
Gate times?
These will be confirmed closer to the events, but we expect to open early afternoon in all cities - festival style.
When I am getting my tickets?
If you buy online you can choose to print your tickets at home or even have your ticket SMS'd to your Virgin Mobile Phone.
Tickets purchased at most outlets will be mailed to you on V Festival ticket stock within 2 weeks, but you will be given a receipt as proof of purchase.
Tickets purchased by phone will be delivered as above (for outlets)
What can I/can't I take with me?
Anything you want! AS LONG as it isn't one of the prohibited items listed in the V festival terms & conditions, which you can have a look at by clicking here.
Is there parking available?
We encourage our festival goers not to drive. It's best not to drive your car if you have public transport options available to you. There will be parking options available however they will be very limited and we are working with Public Transport Service providers to make sure that there is additional transport available to those who don't drive. Full details will be available closer to the event.
Is it all ages?
All V Festivals are Over 18 only events - you must bring photo ID as proof of being over 18 otherwise you will be denied entry.
What are the playing times?
Keen aren't you! Playing times are finalised much closer to the event after all the bands have drawn straws (joke!). There's a great deal of science involved, so register for updates and we'll let you know when they are ready. Of course... these things are always subject to change, so our website's the best source.
Is it licensed?
All V Festivals are Over 18 only events - you must bring photo ID as proof of being over 18 otherwise you will be denied entry.
Will there will extra transport provided?
We are currently putting together a comprehensive transport and traffic management plan that will be detailed on our website close to the events. This includes an increase in already scheduled transport services.
I've got a market stall - who do I speak to?
At this stage V Festival won't be having market stalls at any event. If you are interested in providing food or beverages, please email Peter Bahen, V Festival F & B Manager peter@canvasrestaurant.com.au
Will Richard Branson be there?
Richard has a very demanding international schedule, and we're not sure that he will be able to make it to Australia in March/April. If he can, he certainly will!
Why isn't the festival coming to Adelaide?
V Festival is a logistical challenge and we have had to fit all the events into just two weekends. Unfortunately this year, Adelaide had to miss out.
Are any V Festival acts coming to Adelaide?
It's too early to confirm anything at the moment, but register on our website for updates and we'll let you know what final plans are.
My friend is in a wheelchair is there a disabled drop off and parking point and what facilities are on site to help us?
We are working hard to ensure that access is easy as possible for any V Festival fans requiring assistance to access the site. We will be installing a variety of facilities for mobility impaired patrons as we did last year, and details will be available before the event.
Am I allowed to bring a camera to the festival?
Yes, as long as your camera is a personal camera without a professional standard zoom. We also cannot allow you to bring in video cameras or digital cameras that record footage. Sound recording devices are also prohibited.
Can I smoke at the festival?
You can smoke at the event, but we ask that you do so with consideration for your fellow V Festival punters. In Queensland state legislation dictates that you need to smoke only within designated areas, and we have made every effort to make these areas comfortable and within view of at least one of the stages.
Where can we find the program, set times and information about the artists?
Playing times have not been confirmed yet but they will be before the event. Site maps and playing times will be available on our website in the days before the event and will also be available on the day around the site. Information about the artists is available on the V Festival website.
Where can we find accommodation and travel details?
Virgin Blue is the official airline for the event and we are partnered with them to provide affordable travel, accommodation and ticket packages for the event. Click here. If you don't live near a Virgin Blue airport, we also offer group bookings for bus companies in regional areas. Please contact your local bus company to enquire as to V Festival package availability, and if you have no success, please contact us at tickets@vfestival.com.au and let us know where you are and the name of your local bus company.
I have a broken leg and am 8 months pregnant. Can I bring a chair to sit on?
No, I'm afraid we will not be allowing people to bring chairs on site under any circumstances. We will be making arrangements for mobility impaired customers and others with issues that would warrant them being seated. More details closer to the event.
Can I reserve a place in such an area?
You cannot reserve a place on this I'm afraid.
How can every ticket be 'carbon neutral'?
Our ticketing partners, Ticketmaster, have assessed the energy burned by their business in selling each V Festival ticket we expect to sell. At the end of the event when we know final sales, Ticketmaster will carbon offset this energy, thus making each ticket carbon neutral.
Is cash available on site?
Generally we have some eftpos facilities available at the event, however there's a lot of people, we're in the middle of a field in many cases, and therefore you shouldn't bank (!) on this as your solution to running low on cash! Best to think about what you may need to buy, and fill the wallet to suit.
Are there Passouts?
No - we don't actively allow passouts from the event. Once you come in, you are in. If however you have a serious issue or reason to query this policy, always approach security staff for assistance.
