Isle Of Wight membership scheme opens

United Kingdom | | 02 October 2008

Fans of the Isle Of Wight Festival will be guaranteed the opportunity to buy tickets for the next two festivals by signing up to Festival First.

The membership scheme, which was introduced last year, will allow members to buy two camping or non-camping tickets during a reserved sale period for the 2009 and 2010 festivals.

Those who sign up to Festival First will also have their own entrance to the festival site, giving them easier access to the event than standard ticket holders.

A family version of the membership scheme has also been introduced which allows each member to buy two adult and up to three child passes.

Festival First membership is available to purchase until Monday 6 October at 8pm priced at £50 for a single membership or £75 for a family membership.

Isle Of Wight Festival 2009 will take place at Seaclose Park, Newport from 12-14 June. The event has sold out since 2006, is expected to do the same this year.

Early rumours are suggesting Arctic Monkeys and Coldplay as headliners for the event next year.

Virtual Festivals has also heard that Paul Weller was approached to reform The Jam for the festival, but given Weller's refusal to get the group back together in the past, don't hedge your bets!
