Important Ticket Advice

The only approved methods of buying or selling returned tickets (at face value) are via the Ticket Trust or Skiddle, both of which offer them at face value and protect customers against fraud.

Deposit tickets

This year there was a deposit offer to buy a full weekend ticket and put down a deposit of £50 (half the ticket price) and then pay the total balance by 5pm on 1st June 2013. If the total balance was not received by the deadline, you forfeit all the payments you have made and the tickets would be placed back on sale.

Disabled tickets

Disabled tickets are issued by a new process for 2013 and are available from 1st November. All persons using the disabled camping area in a disabled person's party MUST have a specific ticket for that area and should not exceed four in number including the disabled person. Only one parking pass for the disabled area per disabled person will be issued. Tickets to the disabled camping and parking area will be exchanged for wristbands at the event. To buy tickets allowing access to the disabled parking and camping area, as a disabled person, carer, or member of a please make contact with Mary Ferguson at maryferguson72@btinternet.com.

Around the site
