United Kingdom | 05 February 2010

What do you get when you guzzle down 2000 Trees tickets? The chance to get your hands on a Wonka-style Golden Ticket, allowing VIP access to this year's festival as well as the chance to meet and announce the act of your choice.

Fans who purchase a regular 2000 Trees weekend ticket before Valentines day (14 February) will automatically be entered into the Golden Ticket draw.

The lucky winner will do well to stop themselves turning Veronica Salt blue in excitement at the extent of the giveaway which includes VIP access, free food, drink and merchandise (t-shirt, posters, bags, programmes and an official Cider Smiles festival CD), as well as the cheeky bonus of having your tent put up for you and the opportunity to meet and announce your favourite act at this year's event.

For the unsuccessful applicants, a ticket to one of the country's most passionately run festivals is surely reward enough.

With preparations for the 2010 edition well under way, bosses believe they have found a winning formula.

Speaking about the festival, organiser Andy Rea said: "2000 Trees is set to enjoy its best year yet and has built up a loyal following of passionate music fans because of the line-up.

“It is an affordable way to have a great time and be inspired about new British music, perhaps even to discover a new favourite band for the first time."

Ticket prices for the festival are currently frozen at 2009 prices. Pick up a weekend camping ticket for £47 while kids under 10 go free. Ticket prices will increase from 15 February.
