Q. How can I order tickets?
A. Tickets should only be purchased from the official Europe's Tribute to Elvis site on the Buy Tickets page. Our ticketing system allows you to select your desired seat and pay online. Please note: the Winter Gardens are not selling tickets for this event, so please do not contact the Winter Gardens regarding tickets.
Q. Will my seat be reserved for the entire event?
A. Yes. Once you've chosen and paid for your seat, it will be assigned to you for the entire event. However, seating plan assignment is NOT guaranteed and on rare occasions we will need to rearrange the tables. In the event that this happens we will not split up your party. Seating at each table is limited to 10 patrons and there will be no exceptions.
Q. Can I change my seat?
A. Yes, but we can't guarantee that alternative seating will be available. If you do decide you'd like to change your reserved seat, please contact Tees Events as soon as possible. Please note: there will be an admin charge of £5 per ticket for seating alterations. Click here for the seating plan.
Q. Is disabled seating available?
A. Special seating arrangements can be made if needed. Please contact Tees Events in advance so arrangements can be made.
Q. If I have a problem with my tickets, who do I contact?
A. If after reading through this FAQ and the Ticket Purchase Policy you still have an unanswered question, please contact the Tees Events office using the details on the Contact Us page. Please do not call regarding event schedule information: all details will be updated on this site's Schedule page as well as our official Facebook page as soon as they are confirmed.
Q. Can I buy tickets at the door, or do I have to buy them in advance?
A. Any remaining tickets will be available for purchase from the event box office 2 hours prior to the start of the festival each day. However, there are currently few tickets remaining and buying in advance is the most cost effective option. The box office times are as follows:
- Friday: 10am - 12pm
- Saturday: 10am - 12pm
- Sunday: 9am - 12pm
Q. Are tickets available for single shows?
A. No. Only Three Day All Access tickets and single-day tickets are on sale. We will NOT be selling single show tickets.
Q. What do the tickets include?
A. The Three Day All Access tickets include access to all shows, all contest heats, meet & greets and our after-show parties which are held on all three nights. The single-day tickets include access to all of the shows for the chosen day, but do not provide access to the after-show party.
Q. What is the deadline for ordering tickets?
A. Tickets will be posted out until Friday 27th June if you have opted to have tickets delivered (or the 20th June for overseas purchases if you have opted for the delivery option). No tickets will be posted after this date, but can be collected in person from the Festival Desk at The Winter Gardens.
