Some Download Festival goers raised concerns because they hadn't received their tickets with just days to go until the start of the event. The rock festival will take at Donington Park this weekend - from Friday, June 10, to Sunday, June 12 - but many reported not having received their tickets or parking passes in the days before.
Christine Tully, 63, and her partner Paul Upex, 52, are set to travel to Download Festival on Wednesday (June 8), the earliest date revellers can arrive for extended camping, from Preston and only received their tickets less than 24 hours before that day. They both paid £220 for their five day tickets, plus an added secure delivery fee, and have said the whole process was very stressful.
Christine has attended Download multiple times before and brought her ticket originally in 2019 - but Covid hampered proceedings with the festival cancelled over successive years. The original tickets, meanwhile, remained valid for the 2022 full festival return.
