What is "Early Bird"?

  • This is not to be confused with the EARLY ENTRY TICKETS
  • When the festival finishes, there is a batch of tickets released for the year after
  • For example in 2009, the festival finished on Sunday 30th August. Tickets for Leeds Festival 2010 went on sale the week after

Why Should I Get It?

  • Indeed
  • Historically there is a huge demand for tickets when they are released on general release in March/April.
  • The demand makes it quite hard to attain tickets and a lot of people are left without anything
  • This EARLY BIRD release doesn't suffer from such demand and therefore you are more likely to get a ticket
  • In addition the ticket is priced at the same level as it was for the current year
  • For example the ticket in 2009 cost around £175. The price is pretty much guaranteed to rise each year. Tickets for 2010 will be more than £175.
  • The EARLY BIRD tickets released after Leeds Festival 2009 will have Leeds Festival 2009 prices i.e. £175 and not Leeds Festival 2010 prices i.e. £175+

So What Else Do I Need to Know?

  • You have to pay for it all up front
  • The risk you have is that you do not know the lineup or that you don't want to go anymore. You're stuck with a ticket worth a lot
  • These tickets differ in no way from ones bought officially in the general sale the following year
  • You won't get tickets delivered any slower or faster.
  • Your tickets won't have any special design or any freebies.
  • The only difference between these tickets and the ones sold in the general release will be the price. Nothing else. Nadda.
  • You can buy a ticket in this release and a ticket in the general release and use them together if you want.
  • Just make sure you buy from an official vendor. Ticketmaster is our preferred official vendor
