How do I get tickets?

We ran a draw to give away the majority of the tickets. This draw has now closed.

You can still win tickets by listening to Radio 1.

What is happening with parking and transport to the event?

Full information has been sent out with tickets. You can also visit tayside.police.uk for full advice.

I have entered the draw. What happens now?

If you have been successful you would have received your tickets by now.

I'm hearing a lot of rumours about tickets. What is the truth?

Here are the facts:

• 85% of the tickets were sent to people in Scotland




• Of these half were sent to people in the Dundee area




• Tickets were mailed out first class on Friday 5 May and Saturday 6 May by our ticket agency who are one of the biggest ticket agencies in the country with a lot of experience of events like this




• 300,000 people applied for tickets. We sent out 14,000 pairs. That sadly means 286,000 people were unlucky




• A further 1,000 pairs were kept back. Most of these were for Radio 1 competitions. Others have been given to local partners who are working on the festival with us for their own competitions.

We know you'll be disappointed if you didn't get tickets. We endeavoured to make this draw as fair as possible and are sorry you all couldn't come!

Why didn't you send out a confirmation email to people who were picked from the draw?

Please see our e-bay question below.

How do we prevent people putting tickets on e-bay?

This year the tickets were allocated far closer to the event than on previous Radio 1's Big Weekends, so will significantly reduce the opportunity for anyone to place tickets on e-bay.

We decided against sending out confirmation emails to people who had won tickets as this would give them more time to sell tickets. Past experience has shown some people who receive email confirmation sell their tickets and ask for a second pair claiming the originals were lost in the post.

We have stated on all tickets 'not for re-sale'. Before entering the draw everyone had to accept terms and conditions banning them from selling the tickets.

We will be doing random ID checks on people entering the venue. Anyone who cannot prove they were the original recipient of the tickets will not be allowed in.

However, as is the case with all UK music and events promoters, we do not have control over what e-bay accepts for sale. This is an ongoing matter that the BBC is addressing.

I haven't got a ticket. When can I hear the gig?

We will have full coverage on Radio 1, on BBC TV, online and on Big Screens in city centres around the UK. Find out more.

How old do you have to be to attend?

14 and over. If you are under 14 then you must be accompanied by an adult. That is someone at least 16 years of age. You will need to present some ID.

What time is the event on?

On Saturday the site opens at 12.30 with the first band on stage at 13.30. It finishes at 21.30.

On Sunday the site opens at 13.00 with the first band on stage at 13.30. It finishes at 21.30.

I'm disabled - can I go?

Disabled parking will available to orange badge holders. There's viewing platforms on both stages for disabled people and their carers.

Why can't the event come to our town? Why is it in Scotland?

Radio 1 has been to England, Northern Ireland and Wales so far with the Radio 1's Big Weekend so clearly we wanted to give the opportunity to people in Scotland to experience the event.

As part of Radio 1's public service remit we aim to reach out to areas of the UK that may have a high proportion of young people, perhaps underserved in their region with events of this calibre. This is an ongoing plan for Radio 1's Big Weekend - if we've not touched your region yet, it's a safe bet we will do in the near future!
