For Wychwood Festival fans who simply wish to buy tickets to the festival, a limited number of early bird tickets are available with prices kept at the same level as the early bird offer of the last two years, and if purchased now there's a saving of up to £30 on the full price of an adult weekend camping ticket.

Early bird adult weekend tickets are priced at £100, weekend disabled (2 for 1) tickets are priced at £100, youth (aged 16-18)/concession weekend tickets are priced at £82, and 10-15 year old weekend tickets are priced at £45. Children aged under 9 years old can attend for free.

General camping passes (charged per person) are also discounted for the limited period offering an adult weekend/disabled camping ticket for £10, a weekend youth/concession camping pass is priced at £5, with those aged under 16s able to camp with grown ups for free.

To buy tickets simply call the festival on 01993 772580, or download the application form from the website, click here.

As per last year, Wychwood are again offering a payment scheme this year to make it easier for festival goers to budget for their ticket purchases, with the order split into four equal payments, one taken at the time of the order and each of the remaining three payments taken at the beginning of each of the next three months. Those wishing to take up the offer to pay by instalments, are asked to call the festival ticket line and they will set it up.

Following on from the success of the friends scheme offer last year, it returns again this year with a chance to enable festival goers to save even more on their ticket price, when someone is introduced to the festival who has never been before.

For every person introduced to the festival and who buys an adult or concession weekend ticket, Wychwood will take £20 the ticket order. So, if someone purchasing a weekend ticket during the earlybird offer (at £100), introduces 5 friends to the festival, then their ticket is essentially free. Wychwood festival goers can introduce as many friends as they like, and will be getting £20 for each and every one!

In order to become a 'Friend of the Festival', attendees must have already bought their own ticket for the 2013 festival, either when they left this year, or during this current early bird offer. They then simply give the Wychwood Office a call on 01993 772580 and will be given their own unique reference number to give to their friends to quote when they ring up for their tickets.
