I managed to get a VIP/pit on resale Friday night for Field Day. I havent been since 2014 but the line up was pretty amazing.
I cant remember much from 2014 so its hard to compare but overall it was a fantastic day out.
The VIP for me was worth it. Being short and having quick access to the bar was nice. I spent most of my time at the main stage apart from seeing Jon Hopkins and Moderat.
Seeing other comments about talkers at festivals, it seems to be the norm now. The area around was mostly great Everyone was into it. There were some people who seemed to have comp passes who really didnt know much about what they were getting themselves into. Their faces turning from confused to smiles during Fever Ray and Arca was fun. The crowd at the mainstage for most part was really good and chilled. Only saw a few out of hand gurning teenagers during Jon Hopkins.
The sound was pretty decent where I was also. I did Coachella this year which may be as good as it gets sound wise at a festival but this did the job.
I got to see five artists I absolutely adore, for 80 quid and a nice view with easy access to the bar. Would absolutely do it again but Fever Ray > Hopkins > Arca > Moderat > Aphex might be the best on trot I have ever had at a festival.
