Festival Frenzy

Many students across the country were left disappointed on the 4 March, as they were unable to get the hottest ticket in town - V Festival.

The tickets were due to go on sale at nine o clock Monday morning, but as many students found as the clock stroked nine they were seeing the words sold out almost immediately. With it being reported that both locations tickets sold out in three minutes.

V festival is held in two central locations across the country one in the south, Chelmsford, and one up north, Staffordshire. It has built up a good reputation over years gaining headliners such as Rihanna, Eminem, David Guetta and Florence and the Machine.

Francine Walker, 19, student from Canterbury, said: ‘’ I went to V last the last two years and didn’t have any problems getting a ticket. As the years go by it just gets more and more popular until it’s virtually impossible to get a ticket. I think the whole system is really unfair.’’

With a price tag of £175 its hardly within the student budget yet it is one of the most coveted festival tickets among students, along with Reading and Glastonbury, which also sold out in a number of minutes.
