THE moment that residents from Teignbridge have been waiting for is almost here, as tomorrow 50,000 tickets are set to be released for this year’s BBC Radio 1 Big Weekend.

At 8.10am tomorrow (Monday, April 4) tickets for the flagship music event at Powderham Castle will be made available on the Radio’s Breakfast show.

Tickets are available online via the Radio 1 website, and once booking opens a link will appear to a secure site by Ticketmaster, which is handling the process on behalf of the BBC.

Tickets are available on a first-come, first-serve basis, with 60 per cent of tickets going to residents in areas covered by Teignbridge Council and Exeter City Council.

A further 35 per cent will be reserved for people living in the surrounding parts of the south west, which includes those with other Torquay (TQ) postcodes, plus those with Exeter (EX), Truro (TR), Plymouth (PL), Taunton (TA) and Dorchester (DT) postcodes.

The remaining five per cent of tickets will be for other audiences across the UK.
