BEAUTIFUL DAYS 2008 - SOLD OUT
|
|
Tickets will arrive on Thursday, Friday or possibly Saturday this week and will need signing for. If you are out when the post is delivered, a card will be left and you will have one week to collect your tickets from the post office before they get returned to us. Tickets outside the UK were sent on Friday.
Please purchase a car parking pass in advance if you’re planning to drive to the festival as they will cost twice as much on the gate if you come without one and it will be more difficult for you to be directed onto site without one as they are routing stickers. Car parking passes are still available to buy from www.seetickets.com. There are no weekend tickets available, we have completely sold out! Please look at the website for all the festival info including FAQs, how to get there, car share schemes and bus timetables. The Sunday Night theme this year is ALL THAT GLITTERS so whatever you are planning to wear on Sunday night – please add a bit of glitter and sparkle!
