99 REASONS TO SAVE THE DATE FOR ROCKNESS 2011!

IT’S OFFICIAL… MONSTROUSLY GOOD £99 LAUNCH TICKET KICKSTARTS ’YEAR OF THE NESS’ PARTY!

RockNess organisers are getting the party started for next summer’s festival by announcing the release of an insanely tasty

3 DAY TICKET including CAMPING for £99!

The unbeatable value launch ticket, which will only run for a very limited period of time, allows music lovers the chance to hit the three day monster Highland extravaganza on the banks of iconic Loch Ness without affecting those all important party pennies.

Heaps of exciting plans are well under way for RockNess 2011 - confirmed today as being staged on 10 - 12 June, 2011 - and organisers are keen to stress that revellers will need to be fast off the mark in securing the fan friendly briefs - once the £99 tickets are gone there will be no re-release at this price.

Speaking about the £99 launch ticket offer, festival boss Jim King commented, “Rock Ness was amazing last year with great performances from a host of acts. We had ridiculously high levels of fun and unbelievably low levels of crime, and we want to reward our most loyal customers with this incredible offer which in terms of value is unbeatable. This is officially the ‘Year of the Ness’ so please book early as it’s going to be a great show.”

This latest feel good news follows the recent praise of the festival’s audience after crime levels were revealed as being at an all time low. Under the SafeNess message, Police, Local Authorities and Emergency Services applauded multiple crime prevention successes which saw over 30,000 fans rock out in a trouble free environment to world class acts including The Strokes, Leftfield, Blondie, Fatboy Slim, Plan B, Ian Brown, Aphex Twin and Pendulum.

A raft of new additions to RockNess, many Scottish exclusives, made it one of the most fun weekends to be had anywhere in 2010. These included the debut of the spectacular Arcadia Afterburner arena, Howard’s End Pub with landlord extraordinaire Howard Marks and side splitting comedy headlined by Glasgow’s Kevin Bridges.

BBC Radio 1 and Radio Scotland broadcast the action from site along with the roving team from STV and a host of fantastic new entertainment was added - including The Big Wheel, allowing fans a bird’s eye view of the most beautiful festival in the world!

The £99 launch tickets go on sale at 9am on Thursday 28 October via WWW.ROCKNESS.CO.UK and are on a first come first served basis.

Upon selling out, Early Bird tickets will be launched at

General offer - £135 weekend camping/non camping plus free coach travel in Scotland from Citylink pick up points.

Student offer - £125 weekend camping/non camping plus free coach travel in Scotland from Citylink pick up points.

Payment plans over three months will be available again as part of the Early Bird offer.

do the £99 tickets have to be paid in one go or will there be a payment plan again?

it says there will be a payment plan for the early bird tickets at £135, it doesn't look like that includes the £99 ones but i'm hoping it does.

[5co77ie]

I don't think it does, from the article it seems that the early bird tickets are the ones starting at £125 and these can be paid up but the £99 ticket doesn't apply as an early bird ticket, just a cracking offer. I would be surprised if these were allowed to be paid up since there will be a very limited number.

[5co77ie]

A later ticket offer will also offer a payment plan, spreading the cost over three months on early bird tickets which will follow the limited edition launch.

Aye there is no payment option on the £99 tickets, I suggested it to Jim King but looks like it's only on the later tickets for £135/125 that it is available for.

Good Stuff! cant wait

[rapdeane]

The payment plan is on the earlybird tickets but not the £99 as this is a launch limited ticket and such a great offer already.

[Memory Man]

when you factor in the fact that the £99 (presumably) doesnt come with any free travel, the £135 offer is hardly any worse.

i'd be coming from England so my guess is even if i got the £99 ticket i'd still have to pay for a coach from a point in scotland to the festival which would be around £30-35 return.

Will wait for the payment plan personally, but for anyone that lives close to the site or drives to the site then the £99 offer is really good.

Do RBS not just use Ticketmaster?

Am pretty sure it will only be Ticketline selling these £99 tickets

great offer

[blackg1000]

Superb offer. I've never used the payment plan before but probably will this time but can I buy more than one ticket at a time on the plan or is this offer one per person?
