The Steampunk Convention and Festival

EVENING TICKETS

THIS PORTAL IS FOR EVENING SHOWS ONLY - PLEASE  READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PURCHASE

Your show’s name, day, start time (doors open 30 minutes earlier) and location are all shown in the ticket title. Our locations are Lincoln Arts Centre (LAC) County Assembly Rooms (CAR) and The Engine Shed (ES). Please make sure you arrive at the correct venue and at the correct time. 

In order to attend the Advanced Guard or the Dead Dog Party you will need a festival wristband as well as a ticket to the event. This is designated by the symbol 'WB' next to these events. You do not need a wristband to buy tickets for or to attend any of the other evening shows.  

The Burlesque show is NOT 'sold out'. It appears to be sold out on this site because tickets are available direct from the venue, not on this site. Please follow the link below to buy tickets to attend the burlesque show or follow the link on the MoS website page where the show is described in detail.
