If you have a ticket that is not in your name, please contact us at info@sxmfestival.com and we will give you instructions on how to transfer the ticket name. Please note we do not transfer funds (that is up to the attendee). We transfer the attendee name only.

SXM Festival staff will secure all wristbands on all attendees. Attendees will not be given loose wristbands.

If you have purchased a VIP upgrade, please note that in order to receive your VIP wristband you must present both the 5 DAY GA proof of purchase and the VIP UPGRADE proof of purchase. Please ensure that the proof of purchase is in the same name.

Yes. 

SXM Festival has almost sold out the past two years in a row. Given that we are currently considering admitting a lower capacity based on new safety protocols this year, it is extremely likely that SXM tickets will sell out in advance of the event. We recommend you make plans soon!

We understand that nobody can predict the future and would like to provide you as much information as possible to help you get the most value of your purchase and experience with SXM Festival. Please refer to our Terms and Conditions for the latest information. 

Each ticket has an individually generated barcode which we will scan in order to redeem your paper ticket or mobile barcode for your wristband. If you choose to transfer your ticket or if a ticket is being transferred to you, please have a copy of the paper ticket or mobile barcode to exchange for your entrance wristband. 

Unfortunately, ticket fraud is a common occurrence and predatory scammers are getting savvier to separate you from your hard-earned funds. The best way to ensure that your tickets are legitimate is to purchase them directly from the SXM Festival website through our ticketing partner Easol, or through our ticketing resale platform when it launches in 2021. SXM Festival does not sell tickets on any other platform and we cannot honor fraudulent tickets nor provide you with a refund in the event that you are scammed. Always use your best judgment and deal directly with SXM Festival for any of your event purchases.

Please note that ticket purchasers will not receive a pdf ticket with scannable barcode until the month of the event. If someone is trying to sell you a pdf ticket prior to then, it is fraudulent. 

We provide two different options for those arriving by car, Single-Entry Parking or In/Out Parking. Your vehicle pass must be placed inside your vehicle on the windshield in the designated spot for the duration of your time on site.

The parking area will be a short walking distance from the venue and there will not be a shuttle. Please prepare for this when deciding how much stuff to bring with you to the festival.

SXM Festival is not responsible for belongings left inside your vehicle, and we highly encourage you to leave valuables at home. You can also use our Gear Check service inside the event. DO NOT leave your vehicle parked on the roadside or anywhere outside the paid parking area.

For the moment, no vaccination is required but the authorities of St-Martin might make special provisions in the meantime so please stay tuned.

The French side officially uses the EURO and Dutch the Netherlands Antillean Florin. The US dollar can be spent on either sides of the island and the EURO is widely accepted on both also. Credit cards are accepted at most major outlets but it is always best to check before sitting down for dinner. The island is frequented by tourists and all merchants are well versed in calculating the exchange. All SXM Festival charging stations accept both USD and Euro currencies at the current daily exchange rate. For details on how the wristbands work please see the admission section of our FAQ.

The car number plates say it: “The Friendly Island”. Saint Martin is a small island with a low crime rate and a friendly, happy population. There are French and Dutch police on each respective side of the island. That said, like anywhere in the world, it is wise to take sensible precautions such as: not flashing money or jewelry around, not leaving valuables in cars, not going to secluded places at night or trespassing on private property, not being rude or disrespectful to the locals. Just the regular rules you would follow on any vacation or in any big city. Be sensible and you’ll have an amazing time on this Friendly Island.

In the dry season – when SXM Festival happens – there are fewer insects and mosquitos. We still advise attendees to use insect repellent, mosquito nets, citronella candles and long clothes at night to minimize the risk of being bitten. 

We recommend drinking bottled water.

All Festival performers, including headliners, are subject to change or cancellation at any time withoutnotice. No refunds will be issued if a festival performer is changed or canceled.

Broadband and wifi are available in many places around the island, especially hotels and marinas. It can be a little unreliable at times but generally functional. There is cell phone coverage across most of the island and 3G but again the 3G can be patchy at times. Most north American cell phones work in Saint Martin. International dialing codes are +590 for Saint Martin and +1-721 for Sint Maarten.

French side : 220V / 60Hz. European outlets

Dutch side : 110V / 60 Hz. American outlets.

Both French and Dutch sides have hospitals. We recommend purchasing travel insurance.
