As you probably already know … there will be no Home Game in 2012.
However, we’ve got a few other things lined up our breeks. We’re going to tell you about one of them, now.
THE AWAY GAME, 2012
The next Fence Records’ Away Game will be taking place on the Isle of Eigg, located in the inner Hebrides of Scotland, over the 20th, 21st and 22nd of July 2012.
Our first Away Game event took place in September of 2010 on the same island – and it was an incredible weekend adventure. We couldn’t bear the thought of doing our second one anywhere else – Eigg is just too perfect. The sights, the atmosphere, the people – they are all the best in the world!
This time around, we’ve brought the event forward to July – so it’ll be a bit warmer for all you campers. We’ve also increased the amount of programmed music – from 2 days to 3 days.
Music will start on the Friday evening, all-day Saturday, and it’ll continue on Sunday until early evening, after which there’ll be a bonfire. As there is going to be 3 days of programmed music, the tickets have gone up in price. Tickets for Away Game 2012 will cost £140 each – and this will include camping and your ferry over to the island.
There will be ferries to take people over to Eigg on Friday 20th, and ferries returning to the mainland on Monday 23rd. (I might organise a few ferries to come over on the Thursday 19th for those that want to stay a bit longer, and some return ferries on Sunday 22nd for those that need to get back early).
Here’s the important bit. We have a VERY limited amount of tickets. The demand for tickets last time around was insane – we sold out in 6 minutes! So, this time, we’ve decided to do things a bit differently.
THE FIRST place you can purchase tickets is The Fence Records Secret Xmas Party. This is happening on Thursday, 15th December 2011, at Saramago in the CCA, Glasgow (Sauchiehall Street). There’ll be a limit on 2 Away Game tickets per customer, and we’ll only sell up to the first 100 places. We will be accepting payment at the venue by cash, or by cheque (made payable to ‘Fence Records Ltd’).

If you can’t make the Xmas Party, don’t worry. We will be conducting a ticket buying lottery in the New Year – where you can apply to buy individual, or pairs of tickets. The winners in the lottery will be notified, and informed on how to make payment.
The best way to find out where & when the tickets are selling is by SIGNING UP TO THE FENCE NEWSLETTER. If you’ve signed up already, sign up again just in case! Our next mailout will be in a week or so.

Has this all been too much information? Yes, probably. We’ve got a lot more news this week, though! In the meantime, relive the memories from 2010 with these vids …
