This year the festival has chosen only to sell tickets by Mobilepay or transfer to account.
The reason is simply that the ticket sale sites are too expensive and the festival tries very hard to keep the costs down so that also students and the younger crowd can afford to attend and experience new music.
When the festival opens, it will also be possible to pay with cash, if not sold out before.
If neither is a possibility for you, please feel free to contact them via Darkmentalfestival.
