Check out http://www.strictlyreading.co.uk for the latest information on Reading Festival tickets (and news and rumours)

It has links to several sites selling tickets from official vendors. Ticketmaster or Seetickets are the major players.

I'd go through the links featured on the site mentioned above.

They do sell out quickjly. I suggest downloading and installing Firefox, get the "fasterfox" extension and just try. As to actual chances - same as ANYONE else. Ironically, best advice is to be patient!!!

It all depends - for me, it's very easy to get tickets and therefore chances are always high. Some people are not so lucky.

SO BASICALLY

If you are on the site about an hour before, you should be ok. As above, use Firefox 3 and Fasterfox. Just refresh every few seconds. You could also use the ticket vendors I mentioned and try via there in addition to the official site.

If you don't get them, you can have another opportunity later on (day after, 2 days after, maybe even 3 days after) as people mess up their details and therefore tickets have to be re-sold.

If that fails, head down to a HMV near you. Check with the store first.

If that fails, turn up on Wednesday before the festival and you can buy them on the door.
No worries - the site is indeed an excellent resource. Report It

    • well people have to ge them some how so Id say your chances are pretty good,as soon as pre sale tickets become avalable make sure you buy them within the first few hours to garantee it,dont take chances and wait,ive done that and lost tickets to some of the best shows.good luck
    You can't get on the site before the tickets go on sale, you'll have to keep tryin once they are for sale.

    I have been succesful both times I got tickets, also worth trying to ring at the same time as hitting up the web site. If you don't get them the day they go on sale then you will have to buy them trhough ebay or somewhere. They will sell out within a few hours at the most!

    Good luck.

    I'm going back to Germany this year for the Hurricane festival, costs ￡50 less than reading and flights are about ￡20 return. Much better atmosphere and the people were cool. Line up includes radiohead, foo fighters and NOFX.
