Two evening events are available: Friday and Saturday.
On these days, the show closes at 10pm. This is an opportunity to enjoy live music. A different atmosphere from a daytime visit.
The Nocturne ticket, offered at a more advantageous rate, is of interest to you if you are over 15 and know that you won’t be arriving before 6.30pm.
If you expect to arrive before 6.30pm, or are not yet 16, take a normal ticket and you can stay until 10pm if you wish, as long as you do not leave the MONDIAL DE L’AUTO 2026 areas.

As long as you do not leave the MONDIAL DE L’AUTO 2026 areas, you can stay.
So if you have a ‘Full Price’ or ‘Children’s Price’ ticket and you arrive, for example, in the morning, you can stay until 10.00 pm to enjoy the atmosphere of the Nocturne.
However, as soon as you leave the MONDIAL DE L’AUTO 2026 area for good, the ticket will not allow you to enter again.

Because the Nocturne ticket, offered at a cheaper rate, is interesting for you if you are over 15 and you know you won’t be coming before 6.30pm.

If you expect to arrive before 6.30pm, take a ‘Full price’ ticket and you can stay until 10pm if you wish, as long as you do not leave the MONDIAL DE L’AUTO 2026 Areas.

If you have not yet reached the age of 16, buy a ‘Children’s Fare’ ticket. It’s cheaper, it will give you access to the MONDIAL DE L’AUTO 2026 areas whenever you want on Friday or according to the time slot you choose on Saturday (morning or afternoon) and you can stay until 10.00 pm if you wish, as long as you don’t leave the MONDIAL DE L’AUTO 2026 areas.
