If you didn’t manage to get your hands on tickets for the Big Weekend – a second chance is coming up.

Thousands of music fans were delighted to get a hold of tickets for BBC Radio 1’s Big Weekend festival, coming to Luton’s Stockwood Park later this month.

But for those who didn’t have much luck, there may be a chance to still go to what is expected to be Luton’s biggest festival yet, with more than 100,000 fans dawning on the town from May 24 to 26.

People who have managed to get their hands tickets, but realised they can’t make it anymore, can sell their passes to others when Ticketmaster opens its ‘Fan to Fan’ resale marketplace at 12 noon tomorrow (May 3).
