TICKETS

Please direct all further questions regarding tickets and addons to help@gather.rsvp

Where can I buy a ticket?

Gather is the official ticket provider for Shipwrecked Music & Arts Festival. Please only purchase tickets via the Gather website – https://gather.rsvp/shipwrecked-2027

You can only purchase tickets directly from the website. The name on your ticket must match the name on your ID so you must go through the Gather system when purchasing a ticket from someone else.

I bought a ticket but forgot to buy a Vehicle Pass. How can I get one?

Log in to your Gather account at https://gather.rsvp/login. Then visit the Shipwrecked event page and choose the required add-on. There is limited availability for vehicle passes.

What is the difference between a Vehicle Camping Pass and a Vehicle Parking Pass?

If you are sleeping in your vehicle, you need to buy one of the three different vehicle camping pass. The options include Small Vehicle Camping Pass (up to 6m in length), Large Vehicle Camping Pass (6-15m in length), or Vehicle and Caravan Combo Pass (up to 15m in combined length)

If you are NOT sleeping in your vehicle, you need to buy a vehicle PARKING pass.

All vehicles must have some kind of vehicle pass to enter the festival.

I can’t go anymore. How do I resell my ticket?

For now, if you can’t make the dates anymore get in touch with Gather at help@gather.rsvp to resell your ticket. Their resale platform is currently being built and should be live any day now. 

Never purchase a ticket from someone who isn’t selling through the official Gather resale platform. This is the only way to change the name on a ticket and ensure it is valid when you arrive. Third party platforms like Tixel are not a valid way to purchase a ticket!

WHAT TO LEAVE AT HOME

ALCOHOL

Please leave alcohol behind, searches will take place on entry. If alcohol is found, it will be confiscated before you can enter the festival site. You will not be able to collect it later.

GLASS

We want to protect the land so please do NOT bring any glass on site. Smashed glass causes long-term damage to the land and unnecessary harm to our seafarers who like to dance barefoot!

PETS

We believe a festival is no fun for animals, so please leave your puppies & co. at home. The only exemption is guide dogs. Please contact us in advance, if you are bringing a guide dog.

PRIVATE SOUND SYSTEMS AND GENERATORS

Nobody likes a noisy neighbour! These will not be permitted in the campgrounds or anywhere else on the festival grounds.

FIRE

There is a total fire ban in place at Shipwrecked Festival. Please do not bring candles, fire toys, or anything with an open flame. Gas cookers with enclosed flames that are fixed in vehicles or on tables are permitted but absolutely no cooking on the ground. Please cook wisely and bring a fire extinguisher just in case.

LOST & FOUND

I lost something at Shipwrecked. How can I get it back?

Whilst the event is running please check with the Info Shack at the main house for your lost item. Make sure you check again before leaving the event. Shipwrecked takes no responsibility for items left behind after festival.

You can email a description (pictures help) of any lost items to ahoy@shipwrecked.co.nz and if the item/s are in our possession we will coordinate getting them back to you. Please be aware that it will take some time for you to hear back from us – we normally remain onsite for at least a week after the event, and it can take up to a month for us to properly return to the office.

SAFETY

Where am I allowed to swim?

You are allowed to swim in the lake on the festival site, but only in the beach area next to the Humming Hut. Please don’t enter the water in any other area and keep off the cliffs, including in the camp site. The cliffs are unstable and the water gets deep quickly!

Also please do not swim in any other lakes located in the area. Instead admire their beauty from the shores.

Swimming is only permitted during day light hours.

How can I get support during the festival?

We’re here to help! If you have any medical concerns please head to the medics tent next to the house. Security are onsite at all times whilst the event is running, please talk to them if you have any concerns. Our staffed care space is located on the walkway to the main campgrounds, near the workshop tent. There are people in the care space at all times to support you if you’re feeling overwhelmed or need any kind of emotional support.

A great way to get help is to find someone with a radio or crew lanyard, they will be able to connect you to whichever form of support you need.
