Cambridge Folk Festival Tickets

Last year, I only heard that the Folk Festival tickets were on sale after most of them had sold out.

Although we’ll be in Italy when our neighbourhood is besieged by folkies (26th-29th July), I thought I’d share this bit of information which was posted to cam.misc today:

“There will be twice as many phone lines as last year. Personal sales will continue, but will be open to residents a day earlier than for outsider purchasers (Saturday May 5th and Sunday May 6th respectively).”

So it sounds like the organisers are trying to improve on last-year’s ticket-buying problems, and the 5th and 6th of May are the important dates for anyone who wants to go.
