Wristband Exchange – Location and Opening Hours

All Tampere City Festival tickets must be exchanged for wristbands before entering the festival area. Wristbands are attached to the wrist at the time of collection, and tickets cannot be exchanged for wristbands on behalf of another person. The wristband allows you to leave and re-enter the festival area freely during the same event day.

To avoid queues, we recommend exchanging your wristband in advance during the week if possible. The wristband exchange point may be busy on Friday afternoon and early evening.
