[themuel]

Me neither? Theyve paid for membership so surely if they get some perks thats ok?

[michala]

I think its the lack of perks thats annoying him...

you'd of thought they'd of thrown in decent toilets and a shower block for ff members ...lol...I know far too much to ask!!!

[Andrew_iow]

yeah thats whats annoyed me the fact that most of the "perks" are off site 2 of them are in Ryde fcol I dont go to Ryde even though I live on the Island!!!

Im still glad I got it as it means I have tickets for the next 2 years if I want them but a small thankyou for surport the festival for the next 2 years would be nice!! a programe or something!

Agreed PC, why would I want to walk in to Newport to pay loads of money even with my 10% off !!! when I can walk a few 100 yards to the burger stand in the campsite lol!!!

[russellelly]

The whole scheme was a joke. There's still tickets on now for crying out loud!

[michala]

So crap over priced burgers and strongbows all round it is then!

[Lauz_Abbott]

I agree with Andrew & Michaela, showers and a free programme would have been decent. With regard to the perks off site, is anybody really going to sit down and order a meal for two??
