Tickets for V Festival selling fast

Tickets are selling fast for next year's V Festival at Weston Park on the Shropshire border, organisers said today.

V Festival spokeswoman Kara McCabe said the first hour of sales yesterday went "fantastically well" and all camping tickets at the V sister site in Hylands Park, Chelmsford, had gone.

Tickets were on sale until noon today and limited to 10,000 per festival site. They are being offered at 2010 prices, to beat the VAT rise. The rest go on sale in March.
