‘Pay What You Can Afford’ Returns as Boundary Brighton Relaunches Community Scheme
Boundary Brighton Festival returns to Stanmer Park on 26th–27th September 2025 and has relaunched its popular ‘Pay What You Can Afford’ initiative. Running from Friday 15th August to Thursday 22nd August, 1,000 tickets will be available from just £10, giving fans the chance to enjoy the festival at a price they can manage.
Pay What You Can Afford Tickets Return
The ‘Pay What You Can Afford’ scheme is designed to support Brighton’s grassroots venues, give back to the community, and keep the city’s music scene thriving for future generations.
This year, the initiative is launched in collaboration with three Brighton institutions: Patterns, Volks, and Quarters. Quarters, opening this September on the former site of The Zap, joins as the city’s newest club partner.
Ticket rewards include:
- Lower tier: early entry to one day of the festival
- Mid-tier: free afterparty entry and guestlist to partner-venue events
- Top tier: an exclusive season pass to Quarters
Supporting Young Artists Through AudioActive
Boundary Brighton will also donate a percentage of each ‘Pay What You Can Afford’ ticket sold to AudioActive, a Brighton-based charity mentoring under-represented young music makers across Sussex.
Festival Founder Luke Ralph explained:
“Boundary should belong to everyone, not just those who can stretch to a full-price ticket. The new tiered system means we can reward those who can give more while ensuring no one misses out. At the same time, dedicating a percentage of every sale to AudioActive allows us to reinvest in the under-represented young talent that makes Brighton’s scene so special.”
Helping Fans During the Cost-of-Living Crisis
The scheme has been designed to help marginalised age groups, particularly 18–24 year-olds, who have been forced to cut back on nights out due to rising costs.
Fans who can afford a standard ticket are encouraged to buy at full price, supporting the ‘Pay What You Can Afford’ initiative so that others can still attend.
Boundary Brighton Festival 2025
As Brighton’s biggest electronic music festival celebrates its tenth year, Boundary Brighton Festival expands into a two-day event showcasing house, techno, bass and more. Headliners include Giggs, Andy C, Gorgon City, and Josh Baker.
The festival remains committed to accessibility and community, ensuring financial barriers never prevent fans from enjoying outdoor music experiences.
