Really surprised at the sales this year! We bought our tickets on the day of release!

[Mack]

Unless there is a total sell-out at Ticketweb - and this has happened in previous years - a number of tickets are always made available at A P Taylor in the last three weeks. This is normal - the trick is not to leave it too late. In the lead-up to the festival local sales are always brisk - so don't delay, get them now and avoid disappointment!

Tickets are still available for all events at Ticketweb if you wish - so if you are a visitor or homecoming ex-pat you can get them here. Remember, the balance of tickets are now split across the two outlets.

Lets hope for good weather and have a great weekend when it comes.

Roll on number 19.

Do people who bought their tickets at A P Taylors still pay the booking fee that people who bought on line and on the phone paid?

[Mack]

No the booking fee does not apply when tickets are bought locally - everything is sold at face value. Ticketweb provides a service and, like all agencies worldwide their business is in the admininistration and distribution of tickets by way of charging a booking fee. The festival gains absolutely nothing financially from the booking fee; however, the service allows local residents, UK-wide enthusiasts and worldwide travellers, to have access to the tickets and consequently creates a wider circulation. This is a prerequisite for encouraging people to visit Campbeltown, something necessary in meeting the grant criterea that helps fund the event in the first instance. The festival in its present form could not exist without sponsorship and grant - the venues are simply not big enough.

People who use Ticketweb have first call on the main concert events and, the remaining tickets, if available, are sold locally without the additional fee. We feel this is the fairest way for all concerned.
