Davidmjs ; when you say "Tickets are available now from our box office and they are selling well so don’t leave it too long to buy yours."
Are these from the Ticket Factory ?
I get the impression that the Ticket Factory are taking orders and money, but tickets aren't being delivered because its not certain the festival will run.
I trust there is a full refund system if the festival does not run.
The trouble is its not just the ticket costs, its getting accommodation if your staying off-site and booking time from work.
Will tickets be available on the gate as previously ?
David's post is quoting the email from Fairport that was sent out a day or two ago, so the questions are best aimed to Fairport themselves rather than him. Tickets are usually available on the gate unless the event is sold out in advance. So my personal view is that there are likely to be tickets available there unless the attendance numbers have to be reduced. |

If numbers are to be reduced it would be far easier to administer if tickets havent been sent out. |

There will of course be a number of valid tickets carried over from last summer!

I think given the fact that the Indian variant is now taking hold the chances of the festival taking place must now be doubtful , especially given that vaccinated people are already in hospital after catching this variant. Sorry to be downbeat.  |

I'm thinking positive, and I can't see Cropredy not happening. With the majority of the population being vaccinated , covid will pose no more of a threat than a dose of flu. Think positive people ;-)

The Red Lion fringe line up has been announced. Looks promising but for one glaring omission, no Spank The Monkey.

That does seem an early deadline, when the next date scheduled for any sort of announcement is July 5th.
Everything is a risk, but at some point it has to be accepted that everything that can be done has been done and the nation is slowly going nuts. We need friends, music and beer.

I guess they have their own deadlines for booking the stage, etc, and need to make definite commitments by a certain date, and so they need to have a cut-off point, even if it doesn't tie in with govt announcements.

I know that we aren't alone in wishing, rather selfishly, for Cropredy to go ahead. Time will tell, if there's one thing I've learnt in the last year, it's "don't get your hopes up".
In the meantime, we have at least got the New Forest Folk Festival to look forward to, which is being allowed to run as the crowd is relatively small.
