People who register will get a unique code which must be quoted to buy a £150 ticket. Forms can also be collected at branches of Millets.

A spokesperson said: “Our concern is that there are people out there in the world who haven’t quite grasped that this is taking place.”

Organisers have emphasised that registration does not guarantee a ticket and that there is no advantage for those who register early. However fans will not be able to buy a ticket on April 1 if they have not registered in advance.

They have also introduced a combined festival and travel ticket in an attempt to boost the even’t s enviromental acceptabiliy.

Mean Fiddler managing director Melvyn Benn told BBC News: “I have put together a combined ticket and coach package and we are arranging for the coaches to arrive at the least businest times.”
