Because they normally have clauses in there contract so they can't, thios is so the festivals sell more tickets but really it's just a load of shit.

Thing is a lot of the bands playing V this year played R&L last year. So R&L won't be bothered at all.

Also the repatition of acts gets a bit boring especially on the top two stages. I don't mind when bands step up from the lock-up or FR stage to NME or Main, but when ther are constantly booking the same bands it gets boring.

Panic buying.

It always sells out quickly and people know that, so they release the line-up the same time as the tickets knowing lots of people will be buying anyway. This in turn then causes the unsure people to get one anyway even if the line-up does not suit them.

pretty sure you are limited to 2 tickets per card this year so probably safest getting your mates to try as well

You should get one.

If you get on there early and keep trying all sites you will get through eventually. I'm sure it does not sell out until later on that night early in the morning, the longer it goes on the easier it is to get on as there is less traffic.
