How to book Tickets

The easiest way to book tickets is online. Print off your e-ticket and bring to the event as proof of purchase. There is a 50p booking fee per online transaction under £10, there is an additional £0.50 booking fee for each £10 spent to a maximum of £2.50. As events have limited capacity, please book early to avoid disappointment. Many Festival events are free, but for some, you will still need to advance book a place. Tickets are also available from selected Festival venues. Tickets for events at The Sage Gateshead need to be booked direct with the venue. Please contact venues direct with any specific access requirements.
