I'm guessing you mean the club of people who've got tix through Vodafone VIP, rather than "mature female"!

No!

[devilman]

Ok I'll keep them just the way they are then.

[luckysalt]

Ha ha at devilman!

Pmsl, seriously tho its wkd people are so positive already and getting tix, ill hopefully get mine end of jan before the price increase

im going to wait till both soni and download have there lineups out me thinks.

I thought that with Sabbath playing there was a danger of tickets selling out fairly quickly, which is why we rushed to get them this morning . . . realising now that we probably could have waited a bit!

Also, I hadn't really twigged that not every festival is like Glastonbury and they don't all sell out on the day tickets become available!

I think there's a good chance Download will sell a high percentage of their tickets through global Black Sabbath fans - so I wouldn't be surprised if there is a rush, whether they will shift all of them depends on just how many Sabbath fans there are out there - at a stretch I would suspect it could sell out I guess. It didn't for AC/DC last year - but then they tour the world a bit more often than Sabbath have, and Sabbath I suspect have more fans out there than The Stone Roses - and look what happened with their first announced reformed gig tickets.

Dont scare me like this Scottie, my mates are the slowest to get their tix ever. I think a lot of Sabbath fans may wait until day tix, you have to remember 2010 had Aerosmith who rarely tour as well as AC/DC and it still didnt sell out. Although it was near to 120k. Wonder what the capcity will be this year at the start, I believe its 80k which they can raise to 120k no questions asked but can go to 130k

Didn't Sabbath play Download a few years ago?

I will get tickets in January but just hope the Family Camping tickets don't sell out.

they played the last ozzfest at Donny.

this year aint gonna sell out. no.fucking.chance.

Bookmark this and call me a tit if they dont pull a "planet rock" next year like they did this year.

[jammy2211]

Download ain't ever gonna sell out when it has a capacity of 120k.

I'll buy my ticket in January i think before prices go up... wanna see Soni first even though im prob gonna just do both.

[luckysalt]

RIP camping has sold out already. Think thats the fastest it ever has done.

[neilloggie]

Getting mine in the morning, just to save the hassle of waiting then i can forget about it until end of May then the anticipation starts of when will my bloody ticket arrive.

I'll revise this drastically - as so many other Sabbath dates have been announced making this a bit less special (http://www.efestival...1/111118c.shtml) and with Prodge, and Tallica who appear regluarly as t'other headliners, I'd say it probably won't max out after all.

[luckysalt]

The new dates wont effect UK fans, but it will stop people flying in from other countries in Europe

[she bangs the drums]

I'm really not interest in seeing Metallica or Prodigy again after seeing them both many times in the past few years (Metallica (Wembley, MEN,Leeds Festival, Sonsiphere) or Prodigy (V Festival, Liverpool Academy, Leeds Festival, MEN)) but would really like to see Sabbath so I'm hoping they do a few UK dates.  Has it said anywhere that Donnington is the only UK date?

Ps - I'm gutted that Rammstein are not playing any UK festival dates -swap them with Prodigy and I would have been going to be first Download.
