Top Questions about Peace Train 2026
1. How do I get my ticket and wristband?
We do not ship physical tickets. You must bring your mobile ticket and a valid ID (or a clear copy of it) to the Ticket Booth at the festival site to exchange it for an entry wristband.
2. Do I need to keep my wristband on?
Yes! Your wristband acts as your pass. You must wear it at all times to move between festival zones and re-enter the site. Lost or damaged wristbands cannot be reissued.
3. Can I drink alcohol at the festival?
Yes, but you need an adult verification wristband. Bring your ID to the Ticket Booth (or designated F&B booths) to prove you are 19 or older and receive your 19+ wristband.
4. Can I reserve a spot in the crowd?
No. The main stages (Peace Stage and Land Stage) are standing zones. You can leave your mats in the designated Picnic Zones, but leaving your belongings unattended to "save a spot" on the dancefloor is not allowed.
