The popularity of niche, intimate music festivals has surged in recent years. Organisers of the Solstice Echoes Festival have capped attendance to maintain its boutique atmosphere, but demand for tickets has risen dramatically.
Despite steady increases in ticket prices, Solstice Echoes passes sell out more rapidly each year, leaving many prospective attendees without tickets.
