More Tickets Available For Reading Festival?
The organisers of the Reading Festival have confirmed they are looking to increase the capacity of the festival from 55,000 to 65,000 freeing up an extra 10,000 tickets for the August event.
Organisers of the event, which recently announced it recently sold out of weekend tickets, are looking to add to the current 55,000 capacity of the festival. However, to avoid problems with car parking, Mean Fiddler have suggested they may only sell the extra tickets as a package that would require holders to use rail or coach travel only.
"We have the ability to accommodate an additional 10,000 people to raise the capacity from 55,000 to 65,000,” Mean Fiddler’s Managing Director Melvin Benn explained. “We also have the ability to sell the additional 10,000 tickets on a combined package of either rail and ticket use or National Express and ticket use. The impact on the local community, such as traffic, will be negligible because the only method of buying the ticket is through purchase of a combined package."
However some local residents have objected to the proposal, which will be considered by licensing authorities over the coming months, as Robin Bentham of the Warren And District Residents Association explained.
"From our viewpoint the site has been full for the last several years with 55,000. An additional 10,000 seems to be going beyond the limits the area can handle."
All weekend tickets for the festival have now sold out from online and telephone retailers, although a limited number are still available from selected HMV stores across the UK.
