The dates for the 90,000 capacity Reading Festival are confirmed as on the bank holiday weekend, from Friday 24th to Sunday 26th August 2012 at Little Johns Farm, Richfield Avenue, Reading, Berkshire.

Line-up

There are no acts confirmed yet for 2012, expect the first announcement on Monday 12th March at 7.15pm. For the line-up rumours as available, please click here.

Tickets

Early bird tickets are no longer on sale. General sale tickets will be released on Monday 12th March at 7.15pm. There will be a deposit sale introduced for the March main sale. Day tickets will be available at a later date.

Tickets are expected to be limited to a maximum of two per person and per credit card for those booking online. U16s (15 & under) must be accompanied by an adult at all times.

Children under 13 (12 and under) are admitted free but MUST be accompanied by a ticket holding adult. Please note there is no separate children's area at this event, and eFestivals considers this an event not really suitable for small children.

There will be no box office selling tickets on site at Leeds this year.

Note: Tickets will not be on sale at the gate. There will be no box office of any kind. All tickets will be sent out to customers. Overseas customers will need to pick up tickets from The Hexagon.


Ticket instalment plan

There will be two schemes, a two-part scheme and a four-part scheme, available to buy tickets from Seetickets, Ticketmaster and Ticketline. eFestivals will have links here for you to buy tickets through and help support this site.

The Two-part scheme will involve an initial payment is 50% of the face value of tickets (not yet announced) plus an £8 booking fee. This will be followed by making a second payment of 50% of face value 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 25% of the face value plus the £8 booking fee per ticket.Followed by two more monthly instalments at 25% of face value, and then a final 25% payment of face value 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.

Conditions for camping

No aerosols (over 250ml) or gas canisters this year. Those wanting to cook need to bring disposable BBQs, trangias or solid fuel stoves. Anyone seen with canisters or cylinders will be ejected from site. The caravan and campervan ticket holders in white campervan field only will be permitted to bring in gas containers up to the limit of 3kg.

Only small, clean, campfires only are allowed in the campsites they must be kept below knee height and less than one pace wide. They will be monitored and extinguished if otherwise. A new policy started last year is expected to be reintroduced this year whch means that ALL campfires will be extinguished after 8pm on Sunday. There will be a firewood trader onsite to buy clean wood for your small campfires - clean firewood will be on sale until 6pm Sunday evening.

Once again this year no flags will be allowed to be taken into the festival arena, as they obstruct the view of people behind.

Campsite

There will be an on site supermarket can be found near the arena entrance in the Village. It will sell convenience foods, snacks, pies/pasties, chilled drinks, fresh daily bread and milk, newspapers, beer/lager/cider, toiletries, pharmacy, general grocery, fresh sliced meats, bacon, sausage, butter and cheeses, deli counter, and cigarettes. The supermarket will offer a card payment facility (minimum purchase £5) with cashback.
