> SWEDEN ROCK LIMITS TICKETS
This year's Sweden Rock Festival made a new attendance record with 35,200 visitors. Next year only 33,000 visitors will be admitted to the festival area.
Sweden Rock Festival 2009 was a great success, making an attendance record and receiving loads of accolades from audience, artists and media alike. For instance, British Classic Rock Magazine called Sweden Rock Festival the world's greatest outdoor festival, and German Rock It! claimed that Sweden Rock offers the greatest festival experience in Europe by far. Nevertheless, having made our own evaluation, we of the festival board have decided that it is still necessary to restrict the number of tickets for purchase. This is to ensure that the visitors will have the optimal festival experience.
No more than 33,000 visitors will gain admittance to next year's festival, compared to this year's attendance figures of 35,200 people and last year's number of 33,200 people.
The festival area will have the same size as this year, and the number of staff, public convenience etc. will also be on the same level as previously.
The four-day tickets will be released on October 1st at 9.00 hrs.
The first 3000 tickets will be sold at a reduced price.
