Festivals and multi-day events: how the listings work

Most gigs are one night at one venue. Festivals, residencies and theatre runs are not, and a listing that quietly picked one date from a four-day weekend would be worse than useless — you would book travel for the wrong day.

Why some listings show a date range

Where the source publishes a run rather than a single performance, we keep it as a range and label it. That is why you will see entries like "2–4 July" on a festival and a "multi-day run" note on an event page. We never collapse a range into a single date.

Reading a range listing

• Check which day your ticket is for. A weekend pass and a Saturday day ticket are different products on the same listing.
• Camping is usually a separate purchase. It rarely appears in the same basket as the ticket.
• On-sale times differ per tier. Early-bird, general and final releases are separate on-sales, often weeks apart. Our on-sale calendar tracks them as they appear.

Where resale prices go wrong

Multi-day events are where resale pricing is least comparable: a £90 average for a festival might be a day ticket, a weekend pass or a resale of a hospitality package. On event pages we show resale averages for the artist where we have them, and we say what they are based on, rather than presenting one blended number as the price of this specific event.
