Sonisphere Festival have announced a new deposit scheme for those looking to buy tickets to the event. This follows a similar set-up to Glastonbury’s new acclaimed ticket deposit system which they set up for this year’s festival.

Sonisphere Festival only requires £40 for those looking to attend the festival to secure a ticket. They are then able to pay the full amount in later installments. All installments must be paid by 30th June and the scheme will only be available to the end of April.

The full price of the weekend camping tickets are £157.50 with other ticket options available.

Sonisphere 2009 is set to take place over the first weekend in August (1st and 2nd) at Knebworth House. The headlining acts are rock legends Metallica and Linkin Park.
