The Ticket Trust
The Ticket Trust is the only platform authorised by Bestival and the Association of Independent Festivals (AIF) where ticket holders can re-sell their tickets.
The Ticket Trust has been created by the Association of Independent Festivals and Sandbag to offer a safe and secure ticket exchange to help correct the secondary ticketing problem. Comprising a group of promoters, artists and music industry professionals embarrassed by what they see happening to tickets to their events – the exploitation of fans’ pockets! The Ticket Trust has created a place where music lovers can exchange unwanted tickets at face value, providing a platform for safe, secure and legitimate ticket exchange – without the over inflated mark-ups.
This is the promoters’ and artists’ answer to the secondary ticketing market which seeks to make big profits – taking hard earned cash away from the fans, the musicians and the live events we all love. Head to www.thetickettrust.com for more info.
NB: Use of the Ticket Trust platform website constitutes acceptance of the Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy contained on their website.
Isle of Wight Youth Trust Charity Donation
*This year we are adding on a £1 charity donation onto all Bestival tickets. The money raised will go directly to the Isle Of Wight Youth Trust (Reg Charity no. 1087163) to help fund their fantastic work offering counselling and support to young people aged 25 and under on the Isle of Wight. The Bestival Foundation is also a proud supporter of the Youth Trust.
Eileen Monks OBE, Director of the Youth Trust: “The Isle of Wight Youth Trust is so lucky to have the fantastic support of the Bestival team and by donating £1 you will be helping vulnerable children and young people on the Isle of Wight. The Youth Trust provides counselling to children and young people and, through your generosity, we will be able to offer help to more people, as well as being able to develop other services to those who need them. Thank you for your support and we hope you have an amazing time at Bestival this year.”
Rob da Bank: “Ever since we first crossed the sea and set foot on the Isle of Wight the Youth Trust has been an integral part of Bestival. Eileen Monks and her amazing team provide a totally invaluable service to the Islands vulnerable young people, a situation which is only getting more serious each year. Additionally the Youth Trust are the people who run our amazing Welfare service onsite looking after you guys when you’ve overdone it or lost something and also spend weeks afterwards reuniting people with their lost passports/phones/ipads and other valuables lost at the party! Thanks for supporting this excellent cause.”
