Also, if you have already booked but either not received a Halls Occupancy Questionnaire email, OR have received the Questionnaire but have delayed replying for any reason: Please do send your completed Questionnaire in as a matter of urgency, to allow us to issue your confirmation number without any further delay.

Details of how to collect your Arkwright Halls key will be issued soon, and sent directly to the email address that you booked with. Remember: when you collect your key, *make sure* you bring a printed copy of your Halls Confirmation email, which includes your unique confirmation number and *will* be checked against our master booking list before keys are issued.

Finally: We have had 4 individuals who's email addresses are "bouncing" all of our attempts to get in touch. So, if you think you booked but have not heard from us, please do email us as a matter of urgency. We have ways to check your claims are bona fide, so anyone claiming these bookings can and will be verified!

Thanks, and see you in a few weeks!

Hello folks!

Infest 2010 is drawing ever closer so it's time for some news updates!

We're very close to selling out so tickets are now only available through MNS, Ticketweb and Infest HQ. Don't leave it too long or you may miss out!

Wondering what to do on Saturday and Sunday morning? Want to sweat out that hangover? Well, now you can because the University is offering Infest goers a special discounted price to use their gym and pool over the Infest weekend. More details will be posted on our site soon.

As usual, we will be raising money for two charities over the Infest weekend: the Marie Curie Cancer Care and the Guide Dogs Association. Both are very deserving causes and we're proud to support them - please don't be shy when the collecting tins come round - every little helps!

Finally, on a serious note, Bradford Police have informed us that the reported EDL demonstration (and, presumably, all the associated counter-group demos) is very likely to take place on Saturday 28th August in Bradford City Centre. All businesses (including hotels) have been advised of the situation and, if you cannot avoid the city centre, you are urged to take extra precautions for your safety. Get taxis, share taxis, don't leave people walking around on their own...

We want everyone attending Infest to be safe - please keep the Infest spirit alive and contine to look out for each other.

More news updates soon!

Cheers

The Infest Crew

Ticketmaster have sold out of their allocation of tickets for Infest 2010.The only places to get tickets now are Music Non Stop and Infest HQ.

We are runing very low on tickets now. If you want to buy tickets from London, Leeds, Sheffield or Glasgow 'in-person' outlets you need to do it this weekend. From Monday
tickets will only be available from Music Non Stop, Ticketweb and Infest HQ.

We have good news for you if you have been unable to secure tickets for Infest this year; after discussions with the venue management during our latest site visit, we are pleased to announce we are able to issue a further 100 tickets for this year's event.

We have released the additional tickets for sale through our various outlets - once these have gone we will not be releasing anymore - don't leave it too long!

For those interested in trading at this year's Infest we would recommend you contact us as soon as possible to ensure you get trade space.

Not long now...

We estimate there are only 25 tickets left in circulation so don't miss out! Please visit the Tickets page for a list of our authorised ticket agents.

It looks as though Infest 2010 is going to sell out in record time! We expect to have sold out by the end of June - do not leave it too long or you will miss out on possibly the event of the year in the alternative electronic scene...

Tickets are going fast - we only have 150 tickets left and we expect to sell out well in advance of the weekend so don't leave it too long!

Accommodation has also been selling fast with 70% of our halls rooms already gone - again don't leave it too long if you want to book this cheap, clean, safe accommodation for the weekend.

Final DJs for this year's event will be announced soon!

Keep checking the website for news as it happens, or sign up for one of the RSS news feed options to keep abreast of developments.

It has come to our attention that the 'English Defence League' are planning to demonstrate in Bradford town centre on Saturday 28th August.

This demonstration may not actually happen but as a precaution we are working with the venue and the local police.

At the moment it appears that the venue and it's immediate surroundings should not be directly affected as the demonstration appears to be planned for the town centre only. However, it makes sense to be wary of this issue and to perhaps plan to avoid the town centre and other potential hot spots should they become known on the Saturday - and to take extra care if travelling alone to and from the venue.

Visit the schedule page to see who'll be spinning between the acts and into the early hours.
