IOW Music Festival Tickets Go On Sale Tomorrow
Tuesday, 20th February, 2007 at 11:55 am, Isle of Wight
It’s that time of year again, when everyone is frantically counting the pennies they’ve tucked away over the winter in order to purchase their summer festi tickets.
First up on the Island this year is, of course, the Isle of Wight Festival, which is on between 8th - 10th June at Seaclose Park, Newport.
Tickets go on sale tomorrow at 9am initially ONLY from the VIRGIN RADIO DIRECTORY on 08707 30 1215 or beat the phone queues online
Tickets then go on general sale on Thursday from 9am from the following outlets:
TICKET ZONE / 08705 321 321 / Ticket Zone
For ticket & ferry packages:
REDFUNNEL / 0870 444 8898 / Red Funnel
WIGHTLINK / 0870 582 7744 / Wight Link
Nothing from HMV this year and apparently there are no early bird or Islander tickets.
If you’ve finished counting your pennies, here’s how much you’ll need.
Weekend camping adult £125
Weekend camping child £62.50
Weekend non-camping adult £105
Weekend non-camping child £52.50
Campervan pass £125
(*all prices are subject to booking fee)
Disabled purchasers must order festival tickets through Ticket Zone by calling 08705 321 321. Those who do not do this will not gain access to the disabled platform or car park.
More details about confirmed acts later in the week. John Giddings will apparently be chatting to Alex Dyke on IOW Radio later in the week.
Now … back to the politics.

Why aren’t there any islander tickets? And why can we only buy through agencys charging a fee? It doesn’t seem right.

Do other festivals such as Reading give away ‘Reading’ resident tickets? Everyone pays for the agency fee when they buy tickets, I don’t see why residents should not be charged - as Islanders we’ve had it easy in the past.
It’s surprising that there aren’t any Islander tickets to ‘give away’ as the line up is disappointing compared to last year. If I wanted to watch the Brits again I would have set the Sky+. Roll on to the Bestival.

[...] Anyone going along to the Festival next week and not camping should note the opening and closing times of the main festival area. [...]
