Early bird tickets have sold out just hours after they went on sale from 9am today, Tuesday 15th November, for The Green Man Festival, they were snapped up in under an hour and a half.

Last early bird tickets were snapped up in five hours when they went on sale, and this year was even faster. Now in its tenth year, the festival takes place annually at Glanusk Park, Usk Valley, Powys, Wales. The dates for The Green Man Festival 2012 are confirmed as from Friday 17th to Sunday 19th August 2012.

Tickets were priced at £135 for adults, £115 for students, £60 for teenagers, £50 for live-in vehicles, £40 for holiday tickets (bought in addition to a weekend ticket, allowing camping at Glanusk Park from Monday 13th August 2012 for 3 days before the festival opens), and £5 car parking.

This year organisers have had to introduce a small charge of £5 for 12s & under this year.

To minimise traffic congestion, any vehicle using any of the three main car parks (General, Family and Holiday Camping) at Green Man 2012 will need a £5 parking ticket. Be warned, there are a very limited number of tickets available for the Family Camping car parking.

The Green Man Festival is a four day event with three days of music and more than 100 acts playing indie, psychedelia, Americana, and folk across 5 stages, while DJs playing everything from psychedlia, dub-reggae, modern electro and stoner rock right through the night.

Literature, film, theatre, ceilidhs, all-night bonfires, comedy and secret gigs are part of the festival's identity. The festival has carved a niche as a non-corporate and ethically-minded festival.

Full priced tickets will be on sale in the new year.
