Ticketing

Are you a flex voucher holder?

The deadline for redeeming your booking code was Tuesday 25 March 2025, however we have extended this deadline. The choice of day is no longer guaranteed. 

How do I use my flex voucher? 

• Take your booking code with you. This can be found on your flex voucher, which you can download from your Paléo customer account.
• Access our webshop via the button below.
• Choose the day of your choice and add it to your basket.
• Before you pay, enter your flex voucher booking code in the "Gift vouchers" section.
• Check that the deduction has been made correctly and proceed to payment (even if it is CHF 0.-). 

Exchange your flex voucher

What is it? 

The flex voucher is a voucher with a booking code. Once the programme is published, you can exchange your flex voucher for a ticket for the evening of your choice. A guaranteed ticket for the day you choose! 

This offer was exclusively available during the Christmas offer, which is now closed. It was held from 3 to 20 December 2024.

The Festival is free for children under 12. More info.

Children

Children up to the age of 12 are admitted free of charge. Children from the age of 12 pay the student tariff.

Reduced tariff

The teenagers (12 to 17), the students, the apprentices, the senior citizens, the disabled and the unemployed, in Switzerland or abroad, are entitled to the reduced tariff. They must be able to prove their identity/status on entry to the Festival.

Would you like to change your reduced rate ticket into an adult ticket? You can pay the supplement by contacting us by email at tickets@paleo.ch or directly at the "Accueil" (opposite the main entrance) every day during the Festival from 10.00 to 22.00. Payments can only be made by card.

Handicapped persons

A disabled person must be in possession of a ticket. Their helper is admitted free of charge. There’s no need to ask for an invitation, both people enter with the same ticket. In the event of a non-definitive exit from the site, both must obtain a pass-out mark.

What is it? 

The Festival pass is a personal and non-transferable pass for the whole week of the Festival (mandatory wristband from the 1st day of the Festival). The person who gets the wristband for the Festival pass is the only person to benefit from the pass. 

How does it work? 

Easy! Download the pass ticket in the Paléo Tickets app. On the first day of the festival, the holder of the Festival pass is given a personal and non-transferable wristband, which is used as an entrance ticket every day.

Get your bracelet at the "Accueil" opposite the main Festival entrance on : 

• Saturday to Sunday 19-20.07 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.,
• Monday 21.07 from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
• Tuesday 22.07 from 8 a.m. to 2 a.m.*
• Wednesday to Sunday 23-27.07 from 10 a.m. to 2 a.m.

*Tuesday 22 July is the first day of the Festival, so there is usually a longer wait at the "Accueil". We recommend planning ahead or coming on Saturday 19, Sunday 20 or Monday 21 July.

Warning: this bracelet is not transferable and will not be replaced if lost or stolen.

Those holding the Festival passes will be admitted free of charge:

• to the open-air swimming pool in Nyon, which is situated at the lakeside on the road out to Geneva
• to the Roman Museum (Nyon), the Musée du Léman (Nyon) and the Swiss National Museum (Château de Prangins)

To access these offers, the bracelet is not enough. Please present your pass from your "Paléo Tickets" app.

Don't be fooled by secondary platforms

The Fédération romande des consommateurs (FRC, the consumer federation for French-speaking Switzerland) receives complaints daily from people who feel they were cheated when they bought tickets online. Paléo Festival Nyon is a partner of the FRC (Romande Consumer Rights Federation) for its work against ticket touting. Make sure you are on the site of the authorised ticketing office!
