Buying Tickets!

Have just realised how close the release date for tickets is, less than 3 weeks now!

Tickets will be released at 7pm on Monday 30th March 2009

For myself, saving money for Reading Rock Festival is a mammoth task, as they aren't exactly cheap. However, saying that, it looks like this year I will have money available on time...just about.

I expect tickets to sell out extremely fast as usual, so the day is booked off just for this purpose. Every means at my disposal will be bent towards purchasing these tickets.

Here's a tip for all you Festival goers out there, buy tickets when you have the first chance (usually available during the festival are discounted tickets for next year). You may not know the lineup yet, but its pretty much always amazing!
This saves the inevitable hassle of raising the money on a deadline. Not to mention spending heart stopping moments whacking the refresh button on your browsing, praying they haven't sold out, or that the server hasn't locked up!

For anyone new to festivals, beware the ticket touts, your spending a hell of a lot of money, so use the official ticket vendors, for peace of mind and wallet. Links are at the end of the post.

All that being said, I'm optomistic this year is going to be my most organised Reading Festival yet, and therefore the most relaxed.

I'll be leaving various posts over the next few weeks and months, hopefully helping everyone enjoy a fanstatic festival.
