From May 27 to May 29, the BBC moved the sale event to Coventry’s War Memorial Park with Ed Sheeran, Lorde and Calvin Harris among the headlining acts.
While a large chunk of tickets are available to locals, there is a pot of tickets available for music fans across the country – but you have to be quick as there are not that many to go around.
Here’s how to buy a ticket to one of the hottest gigs in town.
How are tickets for Radio 1’s big weekend distributed?
Tickets go on Friday, March 18th at 6:30 pm and only through Ticketmaster.
Every year, Radio 1 cooperates with the city council, which means that the residents who live in the area get a number of tickets reserved just for them.
Tickets are divided into three “pots”:
Pot 1: 60% of tickets will initially be reserved for Coventry City Council residents. These tickets are reserved for seven days until Thursday, March 24th at 5pm, after which all unsold general sales will be offered.
Pot 2: 25% of tickets are initially reserved for those living in the remaining ‘CV’ postcodes, all Birmingham ‘B’ postcodes and selected Leicester postcodes (LE1,2,3,4,5,6,8,9,10 , 17, 18, 19). These tickets are reserved for seven days until Thursday, March 24th at 5pm, after which all unsold general sales will be offered.
Pot 3: The remaining 15% of tickets are available for the rest of the UK.
If you are part of pot 1 or 2, you can get your tickets by entering the postcode of your home address when you buy tickets.
