admission
Hills of Rock 2024 comes with an enhanced festival area, which will be accessed by two entrances – for one-day ticket holders and three-day ticket holders.
Please, respect the entrances for access, depending on the tickets you hold. However, if you have a valid ticket, you will be able to access the event from both entrances, so yes – if your friends have a three-day ticket and you have a one-day ticket, you will be able to enter together 🙂
one-day tickets entrance
The entrance for one-day tickets can be accessed by walking along Koprivshtitsa Blvd. and heading towards the main entrance of Plovdiv Stadium. See GPS location here.
three-day tickets entrance
The three-day ticket entrance is the festival’s well-known main entrance by now. It is accessible from the intersection of Yasna Polyana Street and Vladivostok Street. See GPS location here.
