HOW TO GET TO GIGS AND FESTIVALS
There isn’t one best way to travel to every event. The right option will depend on where you’re starting, where you’re going, how many people are travelling and how long you’re staying.
How to Get to a Festival
Large festivals can attract thousands of people, so it's worth planning your journey in advance. Consider the distance, travel time, parking arrangements and public transport options before deciding how you're going to get there.
Our festival travel planner can help you compare the different options available for your trip.
How to Get to a Gig
Getting to a gig can be straightforward if you're travelling locally, but longer journeys require a little more planning. Check your arrival time, the venue's location and how you'll get home after the show.
Use the gig travel planner to compare your options and estimate your journey costs before you set off.
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO TRAVEL TO A GIG OR FESTIVAL?
The cost of travelling to a gig or festival depends on a number of factors, including the distance you’re travelling, your chosen transport, fuel prices, parking and how many people are travelling together.
A festival travel cost calculator can give you a useful estimate before you travel, while comparing different options can help you decide whether driving, train or coach travel makes the most sense for your trip.
WHAT SHOULD I CONSIDER BEFORE TRAVELING?
Travel costs aren’t the only thing to consider when planning a gig or festival trip. Check your arrival and departure times, parking arrangements, public transport services, accommodation and the expected weather.
For festivals, you’ll also need to consider camping, what you’re packing and how you’re getting home after the event.

PLAN YOUR GIG TRAVEL - DON'T MISS OUT
We’ve all been there, you look at the tickets to a show, calculate the additional hotel and travel costs and decide you can’t afford it.
The day after the show, you are scrolling through Instagram and see all the amazing photos your friends took, videos of your favourite songs that the band even brought out your favourite collaboration artist.
Our gig and festival travel planner tool is designed to help you estimate those costs (and even check the weather). But one thing we stand by is: don’t let costs get in the way of experiences if you can get there and not break the bank, buy those tickets, YOU WON’T REGRET IT!
