Music fans braved wind and rain to get their hands on the last 40,000 tickets for this year's T in the Park festival today.
Some have been queueing since Thursday to make sure they got a gold dust ticket when they go on sale at 9am.
Kings of Leon, The Killers, Blur and Snow Patrol will headline the three-day event.
Keane and Franz Ferdinand and Lily Allen will also perform.
The first batch of 45,000 tickets sold out straight after the festival last year.
Festival director Geoff Ellis, said: "We've taken four of the biggest names in the world as headliners, added recent Grammy and Brit Award winners along with some of the hottest international talent from across the globe."
A Lothian and Borders Police spokesman said a "huge" queue had formed at Edinburgh's South Bridge as music fans camped out to get their tickets from Ripping Records.
And in Glasgow there were queues in the city centre and at the SECC.
Tickets can also be purchased over the phone and online.
Crowds of 85,000 are expected to attend the festival at Balado, Kinross-shire, which is Scotland's biggest outdoor music event.
It takes place from Friday July 10 to Sunday July 12.
