BOOMTOWN has just announced it will be reducing the ticket price for 2021 in response to the pandemic.

Returning to the Matterley Estate near Winchester between August 11 and 15, event planners have also confirmed that tickets and event details will be released released on October 1.

More than half of the 2020 ticket holders have rolled over their tickets, meaning there is less than half available for next year.

A spokesperson said: "With so many people going through so much right now, we felt a reduction in ticket price was vital.

"By reimagining how we run and create Boomtown, we’ve been able to reduce the price, but also enhance the parts that make us a truly unique experience."

When tickets go on sale, organisers will simultaneously unveil the new ethos and emergence of a new themed area for 2021.

The teaser will drop at 1pm October 1 and tickets will be released at 7pm.

The spokesperson added: "However, in another move to make sure that the process of getting a ticket is far easier for their audience, Boomtown have moved on from their Tiering system in favour of ticketing Phases.

"This means there will be far more of the lower priced tickets available, for a longer time period, depending on demand. The ticket page with all ticket price breakdowns can be found here and the teaser here.

"Please note, all existing ticket holders will be receiving an automatic partial refund to ensure their ticket price is in line with the lowest priced tier for 2021."
