If you are driving to the festival please ensure you have the appropriate car pass (either day parking or camping).

PITP encourages car-pooling as not only a cost efficient and environmental initiative but also because driving to a festival with mates enhances the experience, yiew!

Parking for day ticket holders is available. Make sure you arrive and leave within the gate opening hours.

Any attempts to park on Oaks Rd surrounding the festival will result in being fined & towed.

Yes, there is a drop off/pickup point for cars, Ubers and taxis.

Follow signage upon arrival to locate this entry.

THE BUS STOPS ARE LOCATED 

• Launceston – on Brisbane St on the top side of City Park
• Paddock – outside the day parking entry

You must have a valid festival ticket along with your bus ticket.

NO RESERVED SEATING, if buses are full you are not guaranteed a seat, and will have to wait for the next slot (although this is rare). First in queue; first to be seated. 

Drivers will endeavour to depart on the allocated times as accurately as possible.

The closest airport to the festival site is Launceston Airport. If you are coming from the airport there are no direct buses from the airport to the festival site. Your options include: catching a taxi, renting a car, or catching the airport shuttle to the CBD where we offer a bus service to the festival.

No, camping is allocated in order of arrival so if you want to camp with friends, you’ll need to travel in the same car/convoy or park and carry your tent to your friends campsite if arriving at different times.

A section of the GA campground for quieter camping. Tell the parking attendants once you have passed the gate check and follow the signs to the Mellow Meadow. 

It’s important to remember however that this is not a strictly silent campground with an enforced curfew but more so for those wishing for a slightly chiller neighbourhood.

Pass outs are permitted for valid reasons but if you’ve driven into the campgrounds you cannot move your car out until Monday 12th from 6am, so you will need to arrange a pick up or catch the bus. If you do need to leave the site for whatever reason, you must not remove your wristband. You will not be issued with another one.

Ask the gates & parking staff for the ‘Early Leaving’ section upon arrival so they can put you in the right spot. You may either set up your camp here, or park your car and carry your camping setup over to your mate’s campsite.

Please note you will not be able to re-enter. If you wish to come and go, you will  have to organise drop off /pickup, or catch the bus.
