FAQs:

Do I have to bring my printed ticket to the event? No, just your name and email confirmation is fine.

What are my transport/parking options for getting to and from the event? The Kingslander is a very short walk from Kingsland train station. There is street parking available but make sure to allow time to find a park. Some of the parking on New North Road is pay and display.

Will there be door sales? Previous events have sold out online before the night so it is recommended to pre-book. If online sales do not sell out there may be limited door sales. Door sales are cash only.
