Age limits and accessibility
The age limit of Ruisrock VIP tickets is 18 years. Read more about the age limits of other ticket types here.
VIP services are not completely accessible. The water bus and the water bus pier towards the center are not wheelchair accessible. We therefore recommend people with reduced mobility to use the accessible entrance to arrive.
Ruisrock has two VIP areas. Niitty-VIP is located next to Niittylava and the gigs are loud in the area, while the quieter Ranta-VIP is located in Niemennokka, which has a slightly more distant line of sight to Rantalava.
A sandy road leads to the VIP area of the beach and around the area. In other parts, the area is a sloping lawn area in some places. The area of VIP Niitty and the road leading to the area is a chopped meadow field and difficult to navigate in places.
Accessible water toilets can be found in the VIP areas.
Exchanging tickets for wristbands
VIP and Ruisrock Plus tickets must be exchanged for wristbands before arriving at the festival site. The wristband is placed on your wrist at the accreditation point, so you must pick up your wristband and pass in person.
