Belladrum producer Dougie Brown has defended ticket prices for this year, stressing they are necessary for the event to keep delivering a “magical festival” every year. Belladrum almost sold out this yearDougie said Belladrum is “not far off” a sell-out, with around 500 Saturday tickets left. Producer addresses Belladrum ticket pricesDougie said there is a fight every year to keep tickets as affordable as possible. This year an adult camping ticket costs £236.50, including booking fees, up from £217.80 last year. “We’d love if there is a VAT reduction on festival tickets, it’s currently 20% and there’s a campaign to reduce it to 5% which we support.”
