    HOW TO QUEUE LIKEA PRO AT REGGAE LAND

    We know queuing isn’t the most exciting part of the festival, but let’s make it smooth, quick, and stress-free for everyone! The sooner we all get inside, the sooner the vibes start flowing! • Stay compact, not single-file! – A tight, grouped queue helps security check tickets and bags more efficiently. • Have your ticket & ID ready – No rummaging at the last second! • Bringing a large bag? – You will be directed to a separate, longer queue for thorough security checks. To speed up entry, bring only what you need. • Keep it moving! – Once security gives the green light, step forward swiftly to keep things flowing. • Respect the vibes – No pushing, no cutting in, and no stopping mid-queue to check your phone!
