Tickets

Tickets sold out last year. Problems with ticket scammers in the lead-up to the 2011 event has meant that the bulk of 2012 are being sold as e-tickets which are considerably more difficult to scam, with a limited number of hard tickets also available locally.

Tickets are priced at £95. Campervan/Caravan tickets are priced at £50, along with a new ticket for 2012 offering camper/caravans electrical hook-up, and child aged 12 years and under tickets are free (maximum 3 children per adult).

The camping/car parking passes are combined. When buying tickets purchasers must ensure they order the correct number of camping/car parking passes required. Purchasers require one pass per vehicle NOT per person. Festival goers will be directed to the camping area of their choice by the car parking pass they have ordered.

Fancy dress

As a curtsey in the direction of a certain jubilee, this year's dressing up theme at Bella is 'Royalty'.

Olympics venue

For those Bella fans who want to stay tuned in to what is happening at the Olympics on 3/4 August 2012, all BBC coverage will be shown in a specially designed venue at the festival.
