A total of 1,000 weekend tickets were available via the festival website at noon, plus 85 tickets for each of the three days only.
Committee spokesman Josh de Kooker said all tickets had been reserved by 12.02pm but people had 10 minutes to pay for them or else they went back on sale.
'Some people would have been applying on multiple devices and the lucky ones might have got more than they wanted so some tickets would have gone back to be sold again,' he said.
