Reading Festival 2026 - FridayReading Festival 2026 - Friday

This ticket does not grant access to the Reading Festival campsites. Reading Festival Tickets are only valid when purchased directly from official agents of Festival Republic. We do not accept Print at Home tickets, Booking Confirmations, screenshots or photos of tickets. Each individual attending must present their own individual ticket at the gate to have the barcode scanned. Tickets for this event have a unique barcode which will be scanned on entry and if found to be duplicated, either in error or for fraudulent gain, only the first instance of the ticket scanned will be admitted regardless of original ownership. Customers may be prosecuted if found to have deliberately duplicated and resold tickets for fraudulent gain. Wristbands removed from the wrist, cut or tampered with will be rendered invalid and will not be replaced. Reading Festival will not replace lost or stolen wristbands regardless of proof of purchase. All ticket categories use fixed tier pricing. All under 16s must be accompanied by an adult ticket holder aged 18 or over who must remain on site throughout the weekend as the under 16-year-old's guardian. No unaccompanied under 16s are allowed on site. Under 13's (12 years and under) are admitted free but must be accompanied by a paying ticket-holder aged 18 or over at all times. We do not accept any parental or supervisory duty of care or liability for any under 18s on site. Fixed tier pricing means the Event Organiser is selling ticket in the same category at different prices - lower-priced tickets are released first, and when those sell out, higher-priced tickets will become available. There is no difference between these tickets. If more than one price tier is on sale at the same time - we recommend choosing the lower priced option. A max of 4 tickets per person and per household applies. Tickets in excess of 4 will be cancelled.
