  • How much does the accommodation cost?

    There are two types of tickets on-sale: first tickets without accommodation, and second tickets with accommodation at the nearby Raleigh Hotel (accommodation at Kutshers is now sold out). The Raleigh Hotel is situated approximately 10 minutes bus ride away from Kutshers and we will be running shuttle buses between the two hotels. The Raleigh also has a bar where we will have djs playing into the night.

    PLEASE DO NOT CALL THE RALEIGH OR KUTSHERS IN REGARDS TO ATP. Any questions need to be directed to feedback@atpfestival.com as this is the only address that will be able to answer questions.

    The accommodation we have left comes in rooms for 3 or 4 persons at The Raleigh. All other room options are no sold out.

    Prices:

    3 persons - $450 (Plus $58.50 tax + bf)
    4 persons - $600 (Plus $78.00 tax + bf)

    Accommodations are sold by the room in 3 day blocks only, (Friday, Saturday, Sunday), you cannot buy just a single night. You are permitted to have any number up to the maximum occupancy in the room. For example, if you wish to purchase a 4 person occupancy room, you are permitted to have 1 - 4 people sharing the room during the event, and the price is the same for the room, regardless of how many people stay. Each person will still need to purchase a festival pass.
