All 75,000 V Festival Tickets Sell Out In Two Hours

FORGET the hard times, we want to rock!

Despite the grim economic climate, all 75,000 tickets for this August’s V Festival were snapped up within two hours of going on sale on Friday.
The event, in Hylands Park, Chelmsford, is being headlined by Oasis and The Killers.
Festival director Bob Angus said the rapid sell-out was “a fantastic endorsement” of the strength of the line-up, also featuring Elbow, Lily Allen and The Specials.
“We’re really pleased that, despite these uncertain times, V Festival has clearly been embraced once again by music fans looking for a great weekend of entertainment,” he said.

Essex County Council trading standards has warned fans who missed out not to go to unofficial sources.

Tracey Chapman, the authority’s cabinet member for environment and waste, said many unauthorised agencies may claim to have tickets but, in most cases, they will charge over the odds – and the ticket may have never even existed.

She urged people to only buy from approved outlets; ensure they have full contact details for who they are dealing with; be wary of paying above face value; and use a credit card if paying over £100, as it is possible to claim back from the credit card company if something goes wrong.
