Giddings told the Isle of Wight Gazette: “The one thing I hate is driving along Fairlee Road and seeing touts selling tickets for the Festival at inflated prices, and making money out of me. So I have decided to hold back 1,000, which will be on sale near the site entrance on a first-come, first-served basis.” Paul McCartney will headline this year's Isle of Wight festival - the ex-Beatle will perform on the Sunday night of the festival at Seaclose Park, Newport, on June 13, 2010.

It is the second year running that he has put the scheme into operation.
