Ilosaarirock Festival Weekend Structure
Ilosaarirock is an entity of events that in its entirety spans from Friday 17 July to Sunday 19 July 2009. The actual festival takes place on Saturday and Sunday, and with your festival ticket (or to be more precise, with the wristband for which you change your festival ticket) you will gain entry to the festival area on those days. Only two-day tickets can be bought 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 event, Sulo Club, on YleX and Rekka Stages which are situated in the actual festival area. For all these clubs you have to buy separate tickets, in other words, the Ilosaarirock two-day ticket does not include entry to clubs. 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.
