If you need an assistant because of your disability, they can acquire their free wristband from the wristband exchange tent near the festival’s main gates. The assistant must be accompanied by the assisted person who already holds a ticket.

The need for an assistant must be verified with an official document stating a permanent need for assistance. Such documents include:

• EU Disability Card marked with the symbol ‘A’
• Medical certificate
• Membership card for the Finnish Fed­er­a­tion of the Visually Impaired (more than 65 per cent degree of disability)
• Medical certificate stating that the degree of visual impairment is more than 65 per cent

We cannot estimate or determine any diagnoses or the need for an assistant at the wristband exchange – therefore it is advisable to obtain a certificate beforehand.

Only one assistant per assisted person is entitled to a free wristband. The assisted person must have a Qstock ticket or a wristband already exchanged.

Two under 10-year-olds can access the festival area with a JUNIOR wristband in the company of an adult who has purchased a ticket. A JUNIOR wristband can be collected from the wristband exchange tent or the Guest Check-in desk.

Please bring an ID for your child, verifying their age. A medical insurance card issued by the Social Insurance Institution of Finland is considered as valid identification. Please note, though, that a music festival is not the best place for kids in the evenings.

If you have a wristband on your wrist and pension certificate to prove that you are pensioner, you can walk straight to the gate.

You may exit and re-enter the festival area freely with any wristband concerning the festival day in question.
