Two days ago BoomTown Fair released five times more discounted tickets than last year and saw thousands of eager 'citizens' rush to get their 'Residency Pass' for the next instalment of the outrageously interactive and ever popular Fair, selling out of a record number of tier one tickets in a matter of days.

The festival has sold out for the last six years, it's so good it dosn't need any awards to sell out, just word of mouth. eFestivals don't do awards but if we did we'd say it offers one of the best festival experiences in the calendar with an amazing variety of entertainment.

Organisers state, "With festival prices constantly rising and the living wage remaining low, in addition to the sheer demand for the discounted tickets, BoomTown decided to make a third of all tickets for the 2015 event available at a reduced price, to help keep the Fair as affordable as possible to a large range of audiences. One of the main attractions of BoomTown Fair is the atmosphere that fizzes with the sheer energy, creativity and ridiculousness the vast array of people who attend from every walk of life and corner of the globe creates.

With loads of incredible bands filling up the line-up, an exciting new district (DSTRKT 5) and the Fair’s biggest ever announcement to spill the beans on in January, plus the usual bombardment of borderline impossible ideas flying around the BoomTown corridors, Chapter 7 is looking like it will unleash some pretty exciting twists and game changing plots… Watch this space!!!"

Now all tier one tickets have gone there are still a couple of options to make things gentler on the pocket. With the new structuring of tiers there are even more tier two (£135 + BF & EcoBond) than last year which are likely to be available for a while longer, plus there is the split payment option starting from £40, where you can pay off as little or as much as you like in instalments until 1st July 2015.

Teen residency pass (aged 13 - 17 years): £120 & ecobond deposit
Child (aged 6 - 12 years): £20
Infant (aged under 6 years): free

Campervan pass: £50
Caravan / Trailer tent pass: £60
Family car, campervan or caravan parking passes are also available.

The festival also offers a split-payment scheme where separate payments in managble chunks can be used to buy a ticket over a few months Tickets must be paid in full by 1st July 2015.

There is an option to donate £2, £5 or £10 to the event's charity partners for 2015, all donations are matched by BoomTown. They will be donating to three separate charities and the first to be announced is: The Energy Revolution Initiative.

Lak Mitchell & Chris Rutherford – BoomTown Founders and Directors added, "Every single citizen that comes to the Fair brings their own vibrancy and personality that just adds to the ridiculous melting pot of characters making BoomTown the place it is today! We don’t want anyone to miss out on this so have listened to feedback from this year and allocated even more tickets to the early tiers to make life easier for those who want to come and get thoroughly involved!"

Chapter Seven of the festival with an on going narrative for around 45,000 festivalgoers takes place at Matterley Estate, nr. Winchester, in Hampshire and will run from Thursday 13th until Sunday 16th August 2015.

For those who like to have a more hands on approach to festivals, the applications to get involved in pretty much anything at the Fair are now open. Ranging from nearly every conceivable idea BoomTown is currently on the lookout for people to send in their far flung creative fantasies and maybe see it come to life on site at the UKs most interactive and immersive festival.
