[Uh-Oh!]

Apart fron the big G, did any other festivals sell out this year? even Bestival still has tickets available.

(By sell out I mean sold all their tickets and not a play on words)

Sign of the times perhaps

Beautiful Days sold out with a strong line up.

[ukmountie]

Green Man is sold out. Only as of three or four weeks ago though.

Of the biggies I think they've mostly all sold out or are very close to it's just taking longer this year. I imagine next year may get a minor boost from no Glasto but there will be plenty of smaller ones going to the wall I should think.

Kendal Calling sold out.
Was a right faff getting hold of a ticket last minute.

Belladrum Tartan Heart sold out months in advance with a fairly weak line-up.

I presume day tickets are still available for Reading as well. It's weird because I consider that line up to be really strong, what with Pulp, The Strokes, Elbow and the likes.

Its beyond belief to me that anyone would consider buying a ticket for that day. The choice between my chemical romance and beady eye makes the reading campsite seem like a safety zone.

If Glasto had madness, the national, pulp and the strokes all on one day - I would probably be hailing it one of the best days the pyramid has seen. Hence im scrounging around for a ticket on the cheap!

Really?  bleh.  I had considered going, but the friday is just so crap I decided against it in the end, couldn't justify the cost just for 2 days worth of lineup.

They announced reading as being sold out about 3 weeks ago, bit of a crafty move to call it sold out when they still had tickets to sell, don't you think?

[russycarps]

thought bestival would sell out, looks like a decent line up. Apart from pendulum of course. Real turd in the mix that.

[iwalker]

On one level the V is one giant sell out.

On the ticket level presumably it has done it's usual trick of selling out in 37 seconds then releasing batches of tickets through the summer?

[mr flow]

Boomtown sold out and that was with 12500 tickets on sale

Clearly a case of Horses for courses as I consider the line up to be largely shite. It doesnt dovetail at all well with the Glasto lineup from this year, too many acts on  at R&L that were at the G too.
