Jack McConnell attended for the first time and said, "It's great to see so many young people enjoying themselves and the festival is very valuable to both the locals and the national economy. It also offers a great opportunity to showcase the Scottish music industry and symbolizes the modern Scotland that we want to portray."[3]

Tayside Police said there were 24 arrests for minor offences and praised the crowd for their good behaviour over the three days.

Tickets

Tickets for the 2003 festival were sold out eight days before the event started. An extra 5,000 tickets were also made available as the demand was the highest since 1993.[4]
