To all Roadburn acolytes: tickets for Roadburn 2010 will go on sale Saturday, November 28th, 10:00 Central European Time.3-day
passes will cost € 145, plus services fees. Single day tickets will not
be available. Experience shows that an overwhelming majority of people
want to enjoy the entire Roadburn Festival experience instead of
limiting their visit to Thursday, Friday or Saturday only.
In
the wake of the ticket mayhem prior to Roadburn 2009, we explored
several possibilities for avoiding secondary ticketing. Unfortunately,
we cannot prevent it from happening. We also noticed that all ticket
outlets in the Netherlands cannot prevent scalpers from reselling
tickets. A personal registration system for selling tickets was
ultimately rejected. To do so would have required raising the ticket
price even more, which simply was not an option.
Secondly, as
much as we recognize the negative impact of scalping and strongly
oppose the practice, it is not against the law to resell tickets in the
Netherlands. The Dutch government has been dragging its heels on the
ticket scalping issue for years. However, in an attempt to prevent
unscrupulous brokers from interfering with Roadburn, we have set a two
ticket limit per buyer for 3-day passes.

Please note: in
previous years we have been forced to confiscate tickets that were
purchased from an unauthorized sales point. There are dozens of ticket
broker sites that are more than happy to offer tickets at inflated
prices, and in many cases they are not even authentic Roadburn tickets.
We sincerely regret that we cannot admit you to the festival if you are
in possession of what proves to be a counterfeit ticket. Do yourself a
favour and purchase your tickets from the official sales points listed
above.
