Ticket Update

Hi,

Been in contact with Jim King several times this morning and here is a summary of what has been said.

Seems the server had issues coping with the demand this morning, this was made aware to Rockness and they immediately got on to Ticketsolve to resolve this within AEG to increase capacity.

Ticket allocation was increased to cope with the backlog and tickets are still on at this price for the moment.

£33 payment plan option does include camping.

2 further payments of £33 plus the booking fee to be paid by 1st February and 1st April. Non-refundable if no longer wishing to go.

Early bird tickets expected to go on sale today also -

3 day Student with/without camping £125 (+ booking fees)

(including free travel – see below for free travel terms and conditions)

3 day with/without camping £135 (+ booking fees)

(including free travel – see below for free travel terms and conditions)

VIP 3 day with camping £160 (+ booking fees)

Demand has exceeded the expectations (highest amount of early tickets sold in past 3 years) and if the rate continues, even these earlybird tickets might sell out today... so don't delay folks :)

Bought a Rockness ticket for the first time yesterday, the deposit scheme is a great idea, no way could I have afforded to buy a Glasto ticket and my Rockness ticket in the same month otherwise. The booking fee is a bit ott though, I'm not happy about paying that

so there's going to be another 3.96 per ticket per instalment??

if so thats an outrage

edit: it appears the booking fee on the 135 quid tickets now on sale is actually 13.50.... seriously what the hell?!?

i know gigs are 10% bf ususally but this is just ridiculous. Ive never seen a booking fee of more than 7 quid for any uk camping festival. outrageous, i'd wait to see if other outlets start selling the early birds (ie ticketline) who have lower charges.

if i'd have known about the unfairly high booking fee i might not have got my 99 quid payment plan ticket yesterday.... they hid it pretty well and have made it generally not clear on the payment plans what the actual booking fee was.

Folks,

There's more £99 launch deal tickets on sale just now, I bought 3 this morning. I don't know if this is due to cancellations or something like that. Anyway I'm over the moon as I expected to pay £135 and saved a few bob........pub this afternoon to spend it I think ;)

For your tickets

Ticketline = Full Weekend early bird £135 (£11 booking fee)(£4.95) = £150.95

AEG = Full Weekend early bird £135 (£13.50 booking fee) (£3.95) = 152.45

So glad I bought the £99 ticket = £112.85(booking fee+postage)

For some reason AEG are still selling £99 tickets (presume its a mistake!)

anyway if ur getting your ticket and want to save two pound go for ticketline :D

seriously whats with this 11 quid booking fee? is this the shape of things to come for all 2011 UK camping festivals?! Thought when ticketline put theirs on sale for rockness it'd be the usual £6/7

do you reckon its the VAT increase put on early in a hidden way....?

    • Muse will be about but the issue with Muse is that they’ll have the pick of doing IOW, BST, Glasto, R&L or big parks/stadiums.

    • Not sure what this means for 2027 but it looks like Holt Farm's website and email are both now inactive and unavailable.   It'll be a shame if they don't operate for 2027 as it was an excellent alternative to the other off-site offerings.   Fingers crossed they're just enjoying their downtime 🤞
    • Deftones, Blink, Muse?   Deftones as the next bump up makes all the sense, Blink as the "band that has never played before" and round out with Muse as its been a long time since they headlined and they have a new album coming which seems on the heavier side from the singles so far.   I could see Muse do their own tour to be fair, maybe MCR in their place? Could also see Deftones switched out for Slipknot/SOAD depending on who is about.
    • I have no issue with the Primavera crowd in most respects. They’re always friendly, respectful and no hint that there could be trouble at any point.   However…the talking is horrific here. The xx was pretty much ruined for me due to people having conversations with their mates the whole way through. Noticed it from all different nationalities across the weekend…English, Irish, Spanish etc. There seems to be no understanding of the nuances of when it’s okay to talk and when it isn’t. And obviously the sound being quiet at a lot of spots on the main stages exacerbates the issue. That alone has made me reconsider whether I will be coming back, it would probably take a lineup as good as this year (unlikely)
