Good morning everyone! ☀️

A few important reminders for today to help everything run smoothly:

* Please arrive at the correct gate and at your allocated time.
Do not arrive excessively early, as you may be turned away until your slot opens. If you arrive late, we cannot guarantee placement in your designated section.

* WRISTBANDS READY! Get your wrists out for the lads!
Drivers and passengers — as you approach the entrance, please have your arms out of the windows showing your wristbands. This helps our team get everyone through quickly and keeps queues moving.

* Make sure your section sticker is clearly visible on your windscreen before arriving.

* Please respect our marshals and event staff. Follow all parking directions carefully and park where instructed initially. Once you’ve been given the thumbs up, you’re welcome to rearrange vehicles within your allocated area.

Most importantly, enjoy yourselves!
Let’s smash Takeover 2026! 🎈
