Ticket Update

[Paul ™]

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

[RMcCole]

Got mine. Couldn't believe the booking charge though

[Paul ™]

Aye £11.88 is steep on a £99 ticket...

Least you can spread that over 3 payments too

[Paul ™]

So they are sold out, other options on the Early Birds and VIP tickets also on sale

[Paul ™]

And once those are gone, there will be great offers on the full price tickets available with UK coach travel

[Gothenburg83]

3000 sold today apparently according to main site happy days

My email says I've got a front row camping ticket - this the same for everyone who bought the £99 deal?

Well done Rockness on selling all these tickets. It was a cracking deal and you'd be a fool to pass it up.

See you all next June.

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

[Iain333]

Aye, the booking fee makes the early birds more expensive than last year.

[Memory Man]

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.

I still feel even including booking fee it's a fantastic deal.

[skinzo]

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

[Gothenburg83]

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

[Gothenburg83]

Also just noticed the main RN website says early bird tickets are only available on the AEG website?

[Memory Man]

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....?
