Going to a Crosstown Concerts show
How to get Crosstown Concerts tickets and presale access
Crosstown Concerts does not sell tickets itself: its shows are sold through the official ticket sellers, and the Tickets link on its own site goes to its promoter page on Gigantic.
Its gig guide at go.crosstownconcerts.com lists every upcoming show with a ticket link and says tickets come from the official sellers only. For the Bristol Sounds series, Gigantic is the main seller, with See Tickets, DICE and Ticketmaster also selling, and Tixel as the official resale partner — tickets bought anywhere else may not get you in.
Presale: join the email guest list on crosstownconcerts.com and you are the first to hear when new shows go on sale. Bristol Sounds subscribers get each presale code by email before the general sale.
Something wrong with an order? Contact the ticket seller you bought from: Crosstown says that is the best and quickest way to get help, because it does not handle ticket sales itself.

What a Bristol Sounds show is like
Bristol Sounds is a series of open-air evening shows at the Canons Marsh Amphitheatre on Bristol's harbourside: gates open at 5pm, the site is cashless, and shows go ahead in any weather.
The series is 5+. Under 16s must come with an adult aged 18 or over, with up to three under 16s per adult, and no under 5s are allowed on site. Bags bigger than A4 are not allowed, all bags are searched, there is no re-entry, and last entry is 8pm.
Bars and food are on site, with free water refill points, and the amphitheatre is a 20 minute walk from Bristol Temple Meads station. There is a dedicated accessible area with limited seating; email the access team at access@crosstownconcerts.com before you buy.
Shows go ahead in any weather unless the safety officer says it is unsafe, and no refunds are given for bad weather, so bring a waterproof — umbrellas are not allowed.

From a Robert Plant benefit to a decade of independence
Founder Conal Dodds promoted his first show in 1989 — a Robert Plant benefit gig at Monmouth Leisure Centre — and founded Crosstown Concerts on 1 March 2016, St David's Day.
He cut his teeth promoting gigs at Newport TJ's and, after decades in live music, set Crosstown up as an independent company; it recently celebrated 10 years in business.
Dodds has since bought out the company's original investor and began transitioning the business into an employee benefit trust, effectively giving staff ownership of the company.
