Rockness Launch 'Go Green' Ticket Offer - Free Travel From All Major UK Cities

Following the sell-out in a day of its outrageously good value £99 ticket, RockNess has announced another insane offer.
As part of its ‘Go Green' initiative Rock Ness is proud to announce that’s customers can now get FREE COACH TRAVEL FROM ALL MAJOR CITIES IN THE UK!
Understanding the magnitude of the environmental issues that festivals can face RockNess have taken a mammoth stride in securing a ‘greener’ festival in 2011 by offering free travel from all major cities in the UK. From as little £135 (£125 Student ticket) music fans the length and breadth of the country can guarantee they’ll be Loch Ness-bound for next summer’s massive Highland extravaganza without breaking the bank. What’s more, by using coach travel and choosing to ‘Go Green’, they’re saving the planet as well as their cash.
For travellers from Glasgow or Edinburgh, that means the event ticket is costing only £105. The further they travel, the more incredible the savings, with the cost of a weekend ticket for London-based RockNess fans costing as little as £75 for a ticket in real terms.
Now the good times keep on rolling with the Early Bird on sale. Speaking about the next phase, Festival Director Jim King said “The response to the launch has simply been incredible. The system crashed and we sold out the 3,000 special '99' tickets in a day which exceeded all expectations. To cope with continued demand we have now had to go straight into launching the Early Bird ticket and signs are these too are being snapped up fast. We would urge people to avoid delay in securing their great value Early Bird. For only £135 they can get a 3 day ticket including camping plus free coach travel from all major cities across the UK. For some lucky people this means the actual ticket is even cheaper than the £99 offer. Oh and students even get a discount!
Approximately 80% of harmful emissions from festivals come from car travel and whilst it might look good for us to throw up the odd windmill here and there, the positive impact of this is marginal when compared to the improvements we can make by cutting car travel.
To help our customers make the transition from car to coach we’ve come up with this amazing early bird offer and want as many people to ‘GO GREEN’ and travel free from any major city in the UK at our expense.
RockNess will also be fully endorsing car share schemes to help people who have no choice but to come by car reduce their carbon footprint, and there will be car parking offers available nearer to the show.
RESPECT THE ‘NESS AND GO GREEN!”
Adding to the excitement is the news that the RockNess Friday and Saturday Main Stage headliners have now been confirmed, with negotiations at an advanced stage for Sunday’s illustrious Main Stage slot.
RockNess 2011 takes place across three days on 10, 11 and 12 June and is shaping up to be one of the most fun weekends of next summer. Attractions expected to return to the banks of iconic Loch Ness include the spectacular Arcadia Afterburner arena, exclusive parties from the likes of Sub Club and Soma Records plus comedy which was headlined in 2010 by Kevin Bridges to a full capacity Clash Arena. BBC Radio 1 and Radio Scotland broadcast the action from site in 2010 along with STV.
