RESERVATION PROCEDURE

You must first purchase a pass in general admission during the Desjardins presale or the general public sale. Sale dates will be announced soon.
Second, you can reserve a spot in the mobility-impaired zone for the shows of your choice. Reservations are made by phone only, in the weeks following the lineup unveiling. Sale dates will be announced soon.

In the interest of fairness, the first wave of bookings will take place on a weekend and the second wave will take place on a weekday. Since 2019, there is an alternation every year in order to favour everyone.

EVENING OF THE SHOW

Come with your accompanying individual to the entrance to the site before 8: 30 p.m. If you arrive later, your reservation will be cancelled. If some places are still available, these would be assigned on a first come, first served basis.

Accompanying individuals must arrive at the same time as spectators who have special needs.

Children from 0 to 10 years of age accompanied by an adult don't need passes for general admission, limited to 2 children per adult.

For security reasons, the pass will be MANDATORY FOR ALL on July 16 on the Plains of Abraham and on July 9 & 12 at Parc de la Francophonie. All children, regardless of age, will be required to wear the wristband and be accompanied by an adult. Strollers will also be prohibited on sites for the same dates.

Access cards are mandatory for admission to the Gold and Silver Front-Stage Zones, Bell Signature Zone and VIP section for all spectators, regardless of age.

For the safety and wellbeing of all festivalgoers, the Festival recommends that parents with small children exercise judgment concerning the kind of show presented and the density of the crowd expected on the site before deciding to bring their children. To make it easier for families with strollers to enter the Plains of Abraham, they are asked to use the paved area leading up the hill near the Citadel.

The parents who come with children should bring HEARING PROTECTION and especially not go towards the MOSH PITS in front of the stage.

For security considerations, the FEQ could decide for specific shows to require passes regardless of the age, and/or limit access of one child per adult, and/or ban strollers. To find out if this rule applies to the show you want to attend, consult the artist's page.

There are different possibilities for you to come to the Festival. Check our page!

Yes. A show could only be cancelled during a thunderstorm or if the safety of the people onsite is in danger. Ponchos are sold for $5 at the bars and checkrooms.
