Tickets

Tickets have sold out again for a fourth year running. 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 have SOLD Out and were 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.
