Working Tickets
Our working ticket scheme is a way for us to offer cheaper entry while remaining financially sustainable as a festival. It’s a great experience that offers you insight into the festival industry, as well as opportunities to learn transferable skills.
How does it work?
Your working ticket costs £70 (much appreciated). Once you’ve worked your 16 hours and had them signed off by your area manager, you’ll receive £20 of that back. So in effect, when you take into account the money you’ve saved on your ticket, you’re technically working for £12 an hour. This applies to all working tickets apart from site crew, who pay a refundable £20 which will be returned to you on completion of shifts.
What if Doris is forced to cancel for COVID-related reasons?
In the event of Doris having to cancel, you will be refunded for your working ticket, or you can choose to transfer it to 2022.
Next Steps?
Please read the information below about each area and once you know where you would like to work hit the apply now button to fill out the working ticket application form. Once your application has been reviewed we will be in touch to let you know that outcome and send you the working ticket payment link. Please note that your place is not confirmed until you have made the working ticket payment. If you have worked for us in the last 4 years you do not need to apply. Simply email circles@tribeofdoris.co.uk.
