And so, the inevitable has happened.
Less than four hours after they went on sale, some of the tickets for Electric Picnic 2018 have already SOLD OUT.
The Electric Picnic have taken to Twitter to announce that Family Camping, General and Family Campervan/Caravan tickets are all gone for next year.
Family Camping, General and Family Campervan/Caravan tickets for #EP2018 are now SOLD OUT.

Earlier this morning, there was frantic scenes in Portlaoise as a large group of people queued to buy tickets to next year’s festival.
A couple of hundred people turned up outside Colgon’s in Portlaoise and at one stage, the line went all the way from the door of the shop, which is a Ticketmaster outlet, on Main Street up beyond Tara Court.
Tickets to the festival sold out before the line-up was even announced for this year back in March.
And Electric Picnic bosses last week revealed the three-day festival will continue for at least another ten years.
If you have been to the festival three times or more a ticket this morning will cost €165, if you’ve been once or twice a ticket will cost €185 and if you haven’t been before it will cost €205.
