Indoor venues
You don't need a ticket or wristband to enter the majority of the indoor venues in Rochdale town centre. You will need tickets to enter the Comedy Special, and the Afterparty. As the indoor venues on Packer Street (The Courthouse, The Empire, KoKobana Lounge and The Flying Horse Hotel) are within the main stage area, you'll need a main stage ticket to enter this area.

Why we charge for tickets
In February 2020 we announced that to create less reliance on public funding we would start charging a small entry fee for the main stage area. Most performances in our indoor venues remain free of charge. Since 2008 the council has invested well over a million pounds into the festival, but severe cuts in public spending during that time have resulted in budgets being squeezed and many council services cut. The festival has lost 25 per cent of its public funding since 2017 so we want festival goers to contribute in the form of a modest entry fee.
We feel the ticket price is modest for a day of quality entertainment and helps us strike a balance for taxpayers who want to see the public support reduce and festival visitors who want to continue to enjoy a top-class summer event. Rochdale Feel Good Festival makes a significant contribution to the local economy as well as attracting income from sponsors and traders and we want to see it continue to grow. We also want to see it generate the funds to continue to be the best it can be.
