Tickets do need to be purchased separately, as they aren’t included with your original C2C ticket, but this could be a good chance to catch an act you may not have time to see otherwise due to clashes.

Can I leave and come back?
The OVO Hydro website states that “at most events you may leave and re-enter the venue” as long as you’re happy for you ticket to be scanned each time.
No specific guidance has been issued regarding Country toto Country so far, however it would be best to assume that leaving and re-entering the festival will not be allowed due to the nature of the festival. The Scottish Events Campus is likely to be extremely busy, with multiple stages, stalls, and more all in operation.
There should be a smoking area for those who wish to use it, though tickets will likely need to be scanned when exiting and re-entering.
