If you haven’t bought your tickets for Bestival this year already, tough cheese.
WightLink told us last night that they had just 100 tickets left and it took less than 12 hours or those to be snapped up.
A very chuffed Rob da Bank said: “I’m quite speechless selling out 8 weeks before Bestival actually fires off into Space. It’s testament to our amazing and very loyal crowd that we’ve achieved this in a tricky old year for festies, so roll on September and thanks for selling us out.”
If you have bought your tickets, good on ya – here’s what you can expect to enjoy this September at Robin Hill.
