What's the deal?
To promote the Wireless Festival, the sponsor, O2, is offering a BOGOF ticket promotion for all of its contract and pay-as-you-go customers.
The festival takes place at two venues; London's Hyde Park (Thurs 14 - Sun 17 June) and Leeds' Harewood House (Fri 15 - Sun 17 June), and has a line-up including White Stripes, Daft Punk, Faithless, Kaiser Chiefs, Badly Drawn Boy and Just Jack.
Tickets usually cost around £40 each + booking and delivery fees, so at £24 each (incl. charges) you've got yourself a bit of a deal. There are only 4,000 tickets available to you'll have to be quick to snatch them up.
How to get these tickets
Tickets are only sold through calling Ticketmaster on 0871 230 5440 from 9am on Monday 12th March 2007. You''ll need to confirm the make, model and number of your mobile phone to qualify for these tickets, which'll then be sent to your mobile phone within 48 hours of purchase and then again a week before the festival.

i don't remember them being free.
a mate and i got this 2 for 1 promotion and had a good day out even if they did schedule the flaming lips and the super furries on at the same time!0 -
They WERE free EVENTUALLY lasty year when the hadnt sold enough. Was easy to get and managed to get 4 tickets for NADA. They may do the same this year if no one buys tickets but its a risk.
The link was from this very forum last year
Being bored is so boring Im bored of it... :rotfl:0 -
BOGOF might suggest that tickets won't or aren't selling as quickly as other festivals, but I suspect a lot of the reason for last year's free ticket giveaway was the World Cup. May not be the same this year - we'll see.
Free tix would go down nicely but in the meantime lemme see if I can dig out those free 02 sims I got ages ago....Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills. You know, like nunchuck skills, bowhunting skills, computer hacking skills...0 -
The lineup doesn't exactly bowl me over!0
-
Doesn't give you much info does it. Considering there are only two acts per day on Thur, Fri, and Sat it could at least tell us what time they are on.
In fact surely there are more acts than that?
It's no Glastonbury or T in the Park that's for sure.0 -
Well yeah a load more bands will be added nearer the time! Only the headliners get announced right at the start, everyone else gets added in the next few months.
Here is the full lineup from last year:
