An official statement from Festival Republic - the name behind both the Reading and Leeds festivals has today announced that - for the first time, there shall be no box office at the 2009 event.

If you do not have a ticket, there will be no means of buying one at either of the Reading or Leeds events. The statement reads:

For the first time this year there will be no ticket sales at all on site at Reading and Leeds and anyone without a ticket is strongly advised not to come to the site. Anyone without a valid ticket will not be admitted to the festival site.

The statement also includes the following information for both events:

Leeds Arrivals

Only people with a weekend ticket in addition to an early entry ticket will be able to get on site from 2pm on Wednesday 26th August. If you have a weekend ticket but do not have an early entry ticket, please do not arrive at the festival before 3am on Thursday 27th August. Please do not arrive earlier than your ticket permits. If you do not have a ticket, please do not come to the site.

Reading Arrivals

If you have a weekend ticket but do not have an early entry ticket, please do not arrive at the festival before 8am on Thursday 27th August. There is no comfortable waiting area or facilities for anyone arriving too early. The festival site is based adjacent to a main road and so please bear your safety, festival staff's safety and the safety of the road users in mind. Please do not arrive earlier than your ticket permits. If you do not have a ticket, please do not come to the site.

A (brief) statement from us: "Enjoy and behave yourselves!"
