The hop farm festival has a unique take on festivals, it doesnt have any advertising it carries no sponsorship, It doesnt have any VIP areas and it labels itself as a festival for the ticket payers! I have to slightly disagree with their take on being unique, I have been vip at a festival before and i paid more money for that, I think labeling a festival as a festival for ticket payers suggests that there are other festivals that are organised for non ticket payers? I wouldn’t mind being a non ticket payer in the current climate!!

The larger festivals need sponsorship and funding because if they didn’t have it they simply wouldn’t be able to put on the large amount of acts that they do! Simplez!

Anyway, Tickets for the Hop Farm Festival are priced at £125 for weekend tickets which also include camping or you can get day tickets priced at £65 each. The festival is being held on Saturday 4th and Sunday the 5th July 2009.
