Free vs. Paid Entry
Stepping Stone is unusual in that it's free to attend, but paid ticket holders get priority entry — free-entry guests are let in after paid ticket holders. If you want the best chance at a good spot near the stage, buying a ticket is worth it.
Where to buy: Search "Woori Bank To The Moon" (우리은행 투더문) on a Korean search portal
Ticket limit: Up to 4 tickets per person per day (8 total for both days)
Ages: Open to all ages; children under 12 enter free but must be accompanied by a ticket-holding guardian

Lucky Draw
Show your ticket at check-in and receive a wristband to automatically enter a lucky draw for one of 30 Mangrove x Helinox camping chairs (worth ₩148,000).
Entry Process
Check-in: Bring your mobile ticket and valid ID (physical ID card, driver's license, or passport for adults; a resident registration copy or passport for children under 12, with a guardian).
Wristband: You'll receive a wristband marking paid or free entry — it must be worn to enter, is issued only once, and can't be replaced if lost or damaged.
If you bought tickets for a group, everyone must check in together at the ticket booth.
There's no assigned entry number — it's first-come, first-served, with gate times announced on the festival's official social media closer to the date.
Venue Rules
The venue is divided into a standing zone and a picnic-mat zone — mats and chairs are only allowed in the designated zone.
The show goes on rain or shine (except in extreme weather); tickets can't be refunded or changed due to rain.
Official photography and video happen throughout the festival for archival and promotional use, but commercial filming and live-streaming aren't permitted.
Good to Know
Book accommodation early — this is one of the busier weekends in August.
Sun protection and water are a must for the daytime portion.
Hamdeok's café street is right next door if you want a break between sets.
