Sunday 18th August is the date shown above

As far as I can tell almost a year away from the event the cheapest day ticket is £71.50 and the cheapest weekend ticket is £ 194.40 inclusive of fees. I appreciate they were cheaper for a week after the event but many people won’t book until they know at least some of the line up as the weekend clashes with other major festivals. Not everyone lives locally I’m afraid so transport and/or accommodation costs have to be taken into account. I still like this Festival as in general it caters for my taste but it is a long way away from being the cheap Festival it was not too long ago.

I would have to go to this…

Didn’t go this year as line up didn’t suit for the money I’d have to spend - ticket, VIP (I’m old and unfit!) and accommodation but it’s pleasing to hear that many of the gripes had been addressed. Must say £7+ for a pint seems scary though. I’ll see what they come up with. Maybe they could splash out on The Killers with perhaps Fontaines DC as a more contemporary headliner. Would like to see Blondie and The Pretenders as a couple of legendary bands fronted by women although think they are probably sub/3rd on the bill level.

Plays updated now. No luck. Relying on one ballot entry. Not too hopeful but never mind…

My plays not updated yet. Will look again tomorrow. Site seems a bit of a shitshow tbh.

I was going to post something similar. Shame to find out about it after the comp had finished. Thought as a forum we were better than that…. If anyone has Sky VIP they are still running comps for the final three days.

Thanks for this used your link. Didn’t win tickets for The Strokes but got a ballot entry. Guess it depends if they need to get rid of any nearer the time.

Dermot Kennedy 4th down on the Other Stage at Glastonbury…Reckon that’ll turn into a pay what you like day.

See The Weeknd is playing Wembley the Friday and Saturday. Wonder if he’ll turn up for a couple of tunes.

Anyone got any idea who the supports for LDR are?

I didn’t put headline bands. I went for Placebo, Interpol and BRMC. Two of those are American so probably unlikely but I tried to pick bands I like that haven’t played it yet (I think).

Just received an email asking me which three bands I’d like to see in 2024 and also whether I’m going this year/top band on this year’s line up. Perhaps sales not going as well as hoped?
