​For selected events a limited number of  tickets are available at the Earlybird price, for customers who book earliest. Once these tickets are sold, customers will be able to purchase tickets at the standard price. Earlybird prices may be available for standard tickets and Glade VIP tickets - they offer the same experience as their respective tickets sold at the standard price.

Due to the fast sales pace, with multiple customers purchasing concurrently, it’s not possible to remove the Earlybird option from the price list exactly as the final Earlybird ticket sale has been completed. Therefore, we may have to display both options during the booking journey and would encourage customers to select ‘Earlybird’ wherever this is shown as available. 

Earlybird tickets prices may not be offered for all events. Sign-up for access to Forest Live pre-sales to have the best chance of securing tickets early.

These tickets aren’t part of a package, so the price you're paying is just for the tickets. 

Currently, Ticketmaster In Demand tickets aren’t available for all events. Be sure to check back often as new events are continually being added.
