Ilosaarirock Festival Weekend Structure
Ilosaarirock is an entity of events that spans in its entirety from Friday 11 July to Sunday 13 July 2008. The actual festival takes place on Saturday and Sunday, and with your festival ticket (or to be more precise, the wristband for which you change your festival ticket) you will gain entry to the festival area on those days. You can only buy two-day tickets in advance.
On Friday, Saturday, and Sunday there are club gigs at the ice rink situated right next to the festival area (Töminä Club on Friday, Metelli Club on Saturday, and Closing Club on Sunday). On Friday there is also a club gig, Sulo Club, on YleX Stage which is situated in the actual festival area. For these club gigs you have to buy separate tickets, in other words the Ilosaarirock two-day ticket does not include entry to club gigs. Töminä Club tickets you can buy only at the ice rink entrance, and Sulo Club tickets at the YleX Stage entrance, but Saturday's and Sunday's club tickets you can buy at the festival area Info point on Saturday and Sunday. You can also buy your ticket at the ice rink entrance for Saturday's and Sunday's clubs.
There is no age limit to the Sulo Club or any of the ice rink clubs. However, you need to be at least 18 years of age to enter the official bar areas at the clubs. For the clubs at Kerubin Kuppila you need to be at least 18 years old.
