Anyone buy one?

I wasn't fooled by it. They were so funny though, the line up on it was hilarious!

AND the festival was called "Loch Ness" :lol:

There was a guy going round selling "DONT BE A DICK" stickers claiming to be from a charity. Don't know if he was or not but that is the only thing I saw being sold by someone wandering around. Didn't see anyone selling programmes, real or fake!

Nah Paul spotted them as fakes straight away  so we didn't buy one.  There was plenty of folk wandering about with them though.

My and my mates got bumped for ones in the car park. Never had all the stages and times were wrong. Never even thought that it might have been fake. So obvious once I bought a real one. Won't make that mistake again.

Yeah we gave that guy a few quid. Seemed legit enough and he was quite funny.

Spotted it straight off but jim would have got one if i hadn't stepped in. Easy enough to get caught out after a drive.

My pals got one. To be honest, I didn't realise it was fake until I flicked through it and looked at some of the timings and the missing acts and tents.

My pals don't go to festivals too much so it's obvious they wouldn't spot them as fake and if I was flustered from carrying everything and travelling I could have been fooled too. Don't buy they kind of things until I'm in the areana anyway, but its a shame so much folk wouldn't have realised.

We just got ours from the official merchandise stall. Can't say I noticed the folk selling fakes.

Found one of those lanyards. Read it and the times were absolutely horrible! Gutted for all the people who bought one. That 'charity' guy selling stickers came round to our tent, some people bought, but I went for more of a cynical questioning followed by a rejection.
