For the second year in a row, tickets will be sold online via the 'mad dash' system which left many disappointed last time round. Set your panic button for 9am on Saturday 7 May.
Prices, you will not be surprised to hear, seem to have gone up slightly, though it's hard to tell with so many price bands involved. Season ticket holders should note that this year a pass only guarantees entry up to 20 minutes before the concert starts.
