The Price Is Wight Ticket Site Crashes as Sales Go Live
Festival fans were left fuming as the official ticket site for The Price Is Wight crashed moments after tickets went on sale at 9am Friday. The webpage showed an “unavailable” message, leaving eager music lovers stranded—and the contact number provided was dead.
The Price Is Wight Website Fails Fans at Go-Time
Scores of hopefuls trying to buy tickets were met with a blank screen instead of access to snag festival passes. The Isle of Wight festival’s main site offered little help, confirming there are no phone sales this year and directing all sales to the problematic Price Is Wight page.
Festivalgoers Furious on Social Media
Online, fans blasted the organisers. One tweeted, “Second year trying for tickets and the page won’t even load. Every year this happens.” Tickets this year have jumped to £120 plus booking fees, though buyers don’t have to pay the full amount until May 2018.
