🪩 Floor Access vs Level 1 Access – Please Read Carefully
This is a non-seated event. There are two separate sections in the venue:
-
GA Standing (Floor Level) – this is the main dancefloor area
-
Level 1 (Level 1 Floor / First Ring) – an upper-level area
Your ticket will clearly state GA Standing or Level 1.
👉 You can only access the area listed on your ticket.
-
If your ticket says Level 1, you cannot enter the Floor Level
-
If your ticket says GA Standing, you cannot go to Level 1
Each section has its own bars, food options, toilets, and amenities.
There is no movement allowed between levels, so choose wisely when buying your ticket.
Note: The dancefloor is only accessible to Floor ticket holders (GA Standing).
If you are on Level 1, you will have a clear view but no access to the floor or dance area.
On Floor Level, there will also be seating areas available to chill.
Even if you have both tickets you cannot visit both! So be aware where you and your friends will be and make sure you got the same ticket type. Map will follow soon.
