Thank you so much for reading the answers to our Frequently Asked Questions.

Loads of people can't be bothered finding the answers and just message us Questions directly or ask them on Social Media.

We spend ages answering these questions, because we are nice and want to be helpful, but sometimes we want to pull our hair out, as we'd rather be spending our time putting on a great VW festival for us all to enjoy.

A. Yes, but you will still need to buy a weekend camping ticket. We do not sell one night only camping tickets.

Q: Can I pay for camping on the gate?

A: Yes, if there are any left. Gate tickets will cost more so we strongly recommend buying tickets online before you actually set off for Dub Odyssey. We prefer not to take cash on the gate as it takes a lot of time. The gate entry prices are non-negotiable. SUBJECT TO AVAILABILITY.

SVWOC reserves the right to refuse entry and evict anyone deemed a nuisance or causing disruption at any point during the event without a refund.

Q: Why have the prices changed?

A: We need to cover our costs, so we can keep putting the show on. The show is extremely good value. The show is run by volunteers from SVWOC, we are not a commercial enterprise - hence why it is such good value. If we make any surplus it goes towards the next event or is donated to a charity chosen by the club members.

Q: Why is the free entrance only for Children 5 years and under?

A: Dub Odyssey is an extremely good value for money event, but we still have to pay for security and have child safeguarding procedures in place, therefore we have had to make changes to both the prices and child free entrance age.  We cannot take responsibility for youths attending alone therefore a charge and adult supervision will be required otherwise access will be denied at the gate.

Q: Will children aged 15 and under still have a child's wristband?

A: Yes, we will still provide a child's wristband for identification and security purposes.

Q: I've ordered tickets, how do I get them?
