VIP BOX HOLDERS TRAFFIC FLOW – ONLY VIP BOX HOLDERS, SPONSORS AND PLAYERS
ONLY VIP Box Holders will be allowed in at the main Kurland entrance off the N2. They enter an accelerated lane into the main traffic flow and travel directly to the Pavilion. To exit the venue, they will follow the main traffic flow out of the venue.
ALL OTHER TICKET HOLDERS (includes on the day sales) – PAVILION TICKET, EAST BANK & AFTER PARTY
Entrance is off the N2, just before Kurland, onto a dirt road that leads to the back gate. This traffic flow will take you to “drive-thru” lane system.
- PRE-PURCHASED ONLINE:
If you have purchased online, keep in the right lanes and have your tickets ready for scanning. The lanes will take you to a toll gate where you will get your bar code scanned and receive your relevant arm bands. From this point, you will be guided back into the main traffic flow and either park for the Pavilion or East Bank.
- ON THE DAY SALES:
If you are planning to buy at the gate on the day, keep to the far-left lane. This lane will take you to a large temporary parking area, where you can alight your vehicle and walk to the ticket stations. All tickets (if not sold out) are available on the day. Once you have purchased your ticket you will receive your arm bands. From there you can continue in your car where you will be guided back into the traffic flow to park for the Pavilion or East Bank.

Several ‘top up’ stations will be strategically positioned across the venue to make your experience smooth and effortless. The pavilion will also have two ‘mobile credit card top up people’ to assist you whilst in your VIP box.
