Electric Picnic tickets

It’s one of your last chances.

If you’ve got your tickets for Electric Picnic, you’ve no need to worry. If you haven’t, this post could be your saviour.

All tickets for Electric Picnic 2018 are now sold out but there is still a way for you to get your hands on tickets for one of the greatest festivals in the world.

Tour de Picnic, an annual charity cycle and run to Electric Picnic, is back for its 10th instalment and promises to be bigger and better than ever, and as it’s in its 10th year, things are shaking up a bit.

Volunteers still have a choice between an 80km cycle or a 15km run, however the new route will cycle along a new Greenway and Blueway.

The cycle, sponsored by The Complete Natural, will begin from Tallaght Stadium, on to Blessington Greenway, through various farms, passing through the picturesque village of Brannockstown. The last hurdle will embark along the prospective Barrow Blueway before reaching Stradbally.

Once again this year, Tour de Picnic will be collaborating with three worthy charities: ISPCC, The Jack & Jill Foundation and Headway Ireland. Everyone is invited to sign up and secure their ticket to the festival while raising money for these very worthy causes.

You can sign-up here for a deposit of €50, which guarantees both your ticket to the festival and your place on the 80km cycle, provided you meet your fundraising target. Each person must raise a minimum of €395 and the deposit is also counted towards your final fundraising total.

There’s also a limited number of student entries available, with students having to raise €350.

 Everyone who takes part in Tour de Picnic will receive the following:
· Admission to the festival
· The fully supported 80km cycle or 15km run
· Official Tour de Picnic Jersey
· Refreshments throughout the cycle or run
· Burger and beer on arrival
· Baggage transfer
· Return bus ticket
· Return bike transfer
· Full support team along the route
