A festival spokesman said: “We have frozen ticket prices for our 2017 festival at Don Valley Bowl Sheffield – the seventh year without a price increase.
“Despite the higher costings of our move to Don Valley Bowl we have decided not to pass this increase onto festival-goers.
“As one of the best value festivals in the country we want to keep things affordable and family friendly as possible, so people can still have a great day out at a very reasonable price.”
