This will be followed by making a second payment of £98.75 plus a postage fee priced at £5.25 per transaction (regardless of number of tickets in the booking) at a later date (yet tbc).
The Four-part scheme requires an initial payment of £49.38 plus the £8 booking fee per ticket. Followed by two more monthly instalments at £49.38, and then a final £49.38 payment plus £5.25 postage fee per transaction (regardless of number of tickets in the booking).
If a payment is missed, or you decide you no longer want to attend the festival, a refund on the amount already paid will not be possible. The four-part scheme offer will end once there is less than four months to go before the festival, but the two-part will still be on offer.
