Camping tickets for Camp Bestival sell out
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 19 June 2009
Camp Bestival has sold out in “record time”, though this is only the second year the Bestival spin off has happened, so that basically means tickets have sold out faster this time that last time.
And actually it’s full camping tickets that have sold out – some non-camping and day tickets are still available. But this is a Bestival event, and I seem to remember it’s written in CMU’s constitution somewhere that we never pick holes in Bestival press releases, on account of Bestival and all the people involved in making it being brilliant.
And the more family orientated Camp Bestival will be filling that “brilliant” requirement this year, with PJ Harvey, Kid Creole And The Coconuts, Mercury Rev, Tinchy Styder and Hayseed Dixie among the musical highlights, plus top comedy from Frankie Boyle, Marcus Brigstocke and Andrew Maxwell and a whole host of other great stuff, including loads for the kids. It all takes place in the grounds of Lulworth Castle from 24-26 Jul. Go to www.campbestival.net for more details on how to get those day tickets before the whole thing fully sells out.
Meanwhile, here’s a quote from Bestival man Rob da Bank on the “selling out in record time” thing: “Wow, we sold out! Big up respect to all the mums, dads, kiddywinkles, rebellious teens and hangers on that got a ticket and thanks for supporting the Camp Bestival massive. From PJ Harveys only UK solo show to Bon Iver, Mercury Rev, Chic and Tinchy Stryder the music is all over the shop in a good way and bung in SpongeBob, River Cottage, National Ballet and Mr Tumble and we’ve hit on a weird but surprisingly attractive formula. See you next month!”
