Tickets go on sale

Tickets went on sale at 9am on Sunday 17 May.
The website registered over 50,000 people trying to get tickets via the website at exactly the same time - in addition a queue of people had grown over night for the over the counter tickets.

We stand up and give a 'folk salute' to the people at the front of the queue who had queued over night braving some pretty awful Cambridge May weather - we'll see you at the Festival.
