ORGANISERS have confirmed the time for Comedy Central Live headliner Jimmy Carr has changed.

The show, which was due to start at 9pm on the main stage, will now take place at 8.15pm.

When asked by the Echo why the show had been moved, organisers did not give a reason.

It comes as a number of people have criticised the organisation of the two-day Hoglands Park event.

Aside from rain and coat-defying cold weather, the event’s ticketing system came under fire.

A number of revellers took to Twitter to complain of long queues to get free tickets for the main stage events, while others expressed their ‘disgust’ at missing out on the likes of Russell Howard.

Twitter user, Chris Just, said: “Comedy Central live, should be called ‘Conedy Central’.

“Managed to see a couple of acts but had to queue for tickets and missed others.

“Headliner had all tickets handed out one hour before they were supposed to be released!!!”

Another, Sarah Jayne, said: “So angry and disappointed at @ComedyCentral live.

“Bought tickets to be told we can’t actually see any of the acts because all of tickets are gone and they oversold.

“Absolutely shocked and expecting a full refund. So much for seeing Russell Howard tonight.”

The confusion came over the festival’s new ticketing system – which saw prices slashed from £90-a-day to £20-a-day.

But, as previously stated by organisers, the £20-a-day ticket covered entry to the site.

Free tickets for entry to the main stage are available, but on a first-come-first-serve basis.

That meant not all of those who had paid to get into the site were able to get into the main performances.

Those who couldn’t get access to the main stage were offered seats to watch a televised version in the smaller ‘CCTV tent’.

But that caused upset among some revellers, one said: “@ComedyCentral interesting, pay for a ticket to Comedy Central live, to be told I can watch the main show on tv in a tent. Definitely got my £20 worth.”
