UK Festival Relaunches ‘Pay What You Can Afford’ Ticket Scheme
August
19
Boundary Brighton Festival has reintroduced its ‘Pay What You Can Afford’ initiative ahead of the 2025 edition, set for September 26–27 at Stanmer Park.
Organisers have released 1,000 tickets available at any price from £10 (€12/$14) until August 22.
The scheme includes a tiered rewards system, with benefits ranging from early entry and afterparty access to guest list spots at partner venues. At the highest level, ticket buyers can secure an exclusive season pass to Quarters, a new Brighton venue opening next month on the former site of The Zap.
This year’s initiative is run in collaboration with local venues Patters, Volks and Quarters, and aims to support Brighton’s grassroots music community. A portion of each ticket sold will also be donated to AudioActive, a Sussex-based charity that mentors young music creators.
The 2025 lineup includes Shy FX, Nero, Giggs, Andy C, Gorgon City and Josh Baker.
Organisers said the initiative is intended to keep the festival accessible during the cost-of-living crisis, particularly for younger audiences who may have cut back on attending live events.
