Meredith Music Festival and Lorne’s long running Falls Festival have both sold out for 2010.
Tickets for the festivals have been in huge demand in recent years with both festivals resulting in a ballot system to ensure tickets go out to a random allocation of punters.It didn't hurt that both festivals boasted a stellar lineup and both festivals are in beautiful natural amphitheatres.
Falls fans shouldn't be too devestated yet though, there are still tickets available for the festival in Marion Bay, Tasmania. To get tickets, head over to fallsfestival.com.
