Rocking the Daisies dates announced with new ticketing system

23 Apr 2014

The dates for Rocking the Daisies 2014 has been announced as taking place from Thursday, 2 October to Sunday, 5 October, 2014.The high demand for Daisies tickets has resulted in the need for a more secure ticketing and accreditation system. In order to combat fraud, the reselling of tickets at higher prices and to improve security at the festival, Daisies has adopted an internationally aligned ticketing format.

Each festival attendee will now need to register with his ID or passport number. Sales are limited to four tickets per buyer via credit card, EFT or cash deposit. The buyer will need their friends' names, email addresses and cell numbers when buying a ticket for them (it is recommended that the friends are also pre-registered). The friends' ticket will only be validated once they have completed the registration process themselves. Everyone's original ID, passport or driver's licence is subject to a check against their ticket upon arrival at the festival (no certified copies accepted). If an ID or passport number doesn't match the ticket of the attendee then he will be denied entry into the festival. If you are not 18 years old by the time the festival starts you will be unable to register or attend the festival. Any incomplete registrations will be invalid.

Pre-registration

From 9 to 23 May, pre-registration will be open to the public. Those who pre-register will get exclusive first access to buying RTD tickets and the bonus of a discounted ticket price.

Ticket prices for those who pre-register:

Full Weekend Pass: R695 (full price is R750).
Two-day Pass (Saturday/Sunday): R595 (full price is R650).
From 24 to 26 May, pre-registration will be closed.
On closing of pre-registration a notification will be sent to remind all those who pre-registered that they will receive notification when ticketing goes live on 27 May.

From 27 May to 1 June, ticket sales will be open exclusively to those who have pre-registered and those who didn't pre-register by 23 May will not be able to buy tickets yet. A notification email and SMS will be sent to remind all those who pre-registered when ticketing goes live on 27 May. Pre-registered people will have six days in which to pay for their discounted tickets. On 2 June any unpaid tickets will go back into the ticketing system and be on sale at full price. As tickets are limited and subject to availability, pre-registering does not guarantee or reserve anyone a ticket, but it will move festival-goers one step closer to it.
