Bushfire tickets are sold out!

If you’re still thinking of going and haven’t got your ticket (or didn’t win one in Music In Africa’s recent competition), the organisers have some bad news: tickets are almost all sold out! Because of this, no tickets will be sold at the festival gate and tickets are no longer available online.

The few remaining main arena tickets (for Friday, Sunday or the full festival) are the only options still available to purchase - while stocks last. These can now only be purchased from the MTN store at Shak’s Gables and the All Out Africa Internet Café in Malkerns. Festival organisers are urging people to buy their tickets as soon as possible to avoid disapointment. Only people with valid tickets purchased in advance will be able to access the festival.

Jiggs Thorne, MTN Bushfire Festival Director, said: “We are thrilled that this year’s line-up has been so warmly received by the people of Swaziland. It’s great to see lots of people have booked early to avoid missing out what is set to be another spectacular weekend. However, with the festival so close we would strongly encourage people wishing to come, who haven’t yet purchased tickets, do so today while stocks last.”
