The organizers of Bloodstock Open Air have announced that there will be no day tickets for this year's event.

They say: "We were undecided whether or not to release day tickets as we have capped this year's attendance at 7000, but due to the large number of tickets already sold for this years Bloodstock Open Air Metal Festival, we will NOT be releasing day tickets. We have always aimed to have a Metal Festival that offers superb bands, great atmosphere and does not cost the earth, with this years festival being held over three days and showcasing some of the BEST metal bands to date we know we have THE Best Metal Festival in the UK!"

There are still weekend tickets available but those wanting to be there are advised to get buying sooner rather than later. For more on tickets check out the
festival's website.
