How did it get to be that there are only nine months until the next Bestival? And how did it get to be that there are only nineteen days until Christmas? I'm not sure, but with both those things in mind the Bestival people are staging a special Christmas Card ticket offer, basically encouraging people to give tickets to next year's Bestival as a Christmas present.
Bestival chief Rob da Bank explains: "Don't give your loved one a pair of socks, pot pourri and a tangerine this year. Make 'em smile with a good old-fashioned Bestival ticket and hand drawn limited edition Josie da Bank card! Also cos so many people in the UK don't have such a merry Christmas with no roof over their head we're giving 5 pounds from every ticket bought to Shelter who are committed to housing our homeless. What ya waitin for?"
Adult weekend tickets are £105, while kids' tickets are £52.50. To order tickets within a festive card you need to go to http://www.bestival.net and click on the big Christmas card button. Press info on all of this from Get Involved.
