Has anyone else had problems with Ticketmaster and seetickets websites?  Had so much difficulty with ticketmaster site that went to seetickets through efestival site, clicked on arena only weekend pass,at £155 each, bought and paid for 2 tks, only to find confirmation email states weekend arena pass £155, Sunday 10 June.

OMG  -  I mainly want to see Chase & Status and Prodigy on Friday.

WHAT HAS HAPPENED??

There are no contact details for see tickets.  What do I do now?

I don't think you should worry about ti stating 'Sunday 10 June'. The event carries onto that, and they haven't got day tickets on sale. It also says 'weekend arena pass'.

You should be fine, but you're really worried, you CAN get contact details for see, it's just difficult.

See tickets are a genuine outlet, no reason to have any worries at all.

You will have no problems with Seeticket being a genuine ticket seller, but if you want piece of mind Seetickets can be contacted on 0115 945 4591.

I'd be worried if in ANY lineup you'd want to see C&S.

We need more of the big 4 playing biyearly, bands relying on songs they wrote 20 years ago and the same roadrunner bands as last year innit.

Thanks for all posts guys.  Have spoken to person at see tickets and for them it's normal to use end of festival date on face of their ticket info, but confirmed even tho tkt states sun only, is for whole wkend.  At least they send by secure post - ticketmaster send by ordinary mail only, and you have to contact them if your tkt doesn't arrive - how helpful  and/or safe is that?

Have used both seetickets and ticketmaster before, so no worries abt them, but was not sure if I'd bought through a fake site.

I jst happen to like Prodigy and Chase & Status, but I like loads of other stuff too.  This my first time at Download, looking fwd to whole wkend.  Who wld you all recommend?  And what venues and late night dance places?

I would be more concerned about the alarming amount of bottles/cups of urine that will be flying around when you are watching C&S.

Didn't everyone say the same thing when Prodigy were booked? And Pendulum?

There might be a few idiots I guess but in general I can't see any trouble. I think they'll win any doubters over once they start much like Pendulum and Prodigy did...
