Oxegen announce ticket scheme extension
Festival goers will be happy to hear that Oxegen’s ticket deposit scheme has been extended to allow fans to pay €120 now and the rest by June 19.
The Hot Press Newsdesk, 06 May 2009
After receiving such positive feedback when the scheme was first introduced in March, Oxegen organisers MCD have agreed to re-introduce the scheme, allowing strapped-for-cash fans the chance to spread their payments.
The new recession-proof initiative will allow music fans to spread the cost of their festival ticket purchase over a number of weeks rather than forking out the full ticket price at once.
The concept is open to those who have yet to purchase tickets for the rock-and-roll weekend. It allows a deposit payment of €120 to secure a weekend ticket, with the remaining balance to be paid by June 19.
Tickets for Oxegen 2009 are priced €224.50 for three days (including camping) and are available from Ticketmaster and usual outlets nationwide.
