To really get the absolute most from your Bloodstock experience, you need to secure one of the limited VIP passes.  They are available as a combined purchase including your festival entry, but also as an upgrade for those that have already secured their regular weekend tickets.

Bloodstock’s first wave of 2018 Serpent’s Lair VIP tickets sold out in record time this year.  The second & final wave of VIP ticketing, including a limited amount of VIP upgrades priced at £145 and a limited number of deluxe VIP packages (Octopads, Bellepads and Podpads remain available, but the Luxpads are SOLD OUT) are now available until they sell out… which they DEFINITELY will!
