#les# Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 I have 2 Rock en Seine 3 day tickets and camping pass for sale. Unfortunately I cant make it, so if anyone wants to make me a reasonable offer for the tickets send me a message. They are e tickets, so can email pictures for authenticity.

andypcbruno Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 First timer. I noticed that previous forum posts have said you can leave the site, but it says in the information on the RoS web site that once out you can't get back in. Does anyone know if they hold to this ?

Operator Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 That would be new to me. You were always allowed outside of the festival if you had 3-day wristband. You need to go shopping somehow don't you? Was that maybe in context with a one-day ticket? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deadst4r Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 Really enjoyed this festival last year, such good atmosphere, food and weather. Didn't see one fight or any trouble. I'm considering going back next year, but can anyone recommend any other festivals in Europe where you can stay in a hotel but still be within walking distance of the site?

I've stayed in hotels or appartments within a half an hour's walk of benicassim, sonar, primavera and optimus alive - if you book early and search around you can normally find something.

branvan Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 we always stay at hotels last year we stayed at Hultsfred Festival in Sweden in 2min walking distance in an appartment. at rock im park there are many hotels in walking distance (we used to stay at the hilton, but there you have to book early), at zürich openair at the end of august, you can even walk from the airport to the festival (there are hotels there as well). then as well as mentioned FIB (but the near hotels are very expensive), primavera in barcelona (you have to book early to get a hotel in walking distance for a reasonable price). Frequency Festival in austria is in walking distance from the center of sankt pölten with many hotels. at main square festival we had to walk 10min to get to the hotel. just a few...

Operator Posted March 5, 2013 Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 hopefully there'll be a lineup update next week after reading and leeds announce a bit more. as its on the same weekend the lineups do tend to consist of a lot of the same bands playing, so reading and leeds will def. be up to not having rock en seine rant anything out before they do, but who knows.

the wonderwhy Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 Does anyone know how quick the camping sells out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Operator Posted March 15, 2013 Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 Not tooooo quickly i.e. not within 2-3 days or so, it won't be like trying to get tix for stone roses at heaton park or anything similar. but they are limited so I wouldn't leave it 'til the week before. give it a few weeks after they are released which is on 21 March and they'll be gone. New bands also to be announced on the 21st. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like a decent alternative to Reading, share a fair few acts with a few lesser known/european acts chucked in to check out. Half the price as well What's the atmosphere like?

Operator Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 exactly! half the price and the half the amount of knobs atmosphere is great, it's all a bit more "arty" with mini exhibitions of photographers and great food stalls and 1-2 other things running in the scope of the festival or that are sort of mini-additions towards the festival, the people are all OK, never had any trouble with anyone at any time there. very friendly neighbours at the campsite etc. everybody's just there to have a good time and that's it. BUT: speak french, don't even think about english thoug I guess that's nothing new. oh and if you buy a tshirt, always try it on directly, they often give you girls tshirts...

Sounds awesome Foals & NIN announced on Thursday would be awesome, then I can work on convincing a few mates Apparently Biffy are playing, according to Buzz En Seine?

timeforheroes Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 Looking back no one has played both Main Square and Rock en Seine? I know this is common with festivals close together (V and Leeds for example) to have agreements but would seem strange that festivals weeks apart have them. They are geographically close I suppose. Is this a coincidence? The reason I ask is Biffy play Main Square so seem to be a strange rumour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the wonderwhy Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 (edited) Tomahawk have self confirmed apparently Hoping for some of: Foals, Nine Inch Nails, Klaxons, Franz Ferdinand, Tame Impala, The Knife, White Lies, Biffy, Wu Tang, The Horrors, Tribes, TEED and Editors Edited March 20, 2013 by MattDavies__ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Operator Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 (edited) check it out: www.rockenseine.com 14 names announced. NIN, Franz F., Tame Impala, Alt-J, Kendrick Lamar... Camping tix are also on sale - 60 euros for a 2 person spot (if anyone needs infos on this 2 or 4 person spot stuff just ask) and biffy are of course rumoured, they're playing in germany the weekend before and headlining R&L the same weekend. I'm not sure how string the rumour is though. hey might want to keep it at R&L for that weekend as it's their first ever headlining shows at those festivals.

mrtourette Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 I'm more interested in the fact that you can get breakfast with your camping ticket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the wonderwhy Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 (edited) Pretty good announcement... not sure if its enough to convince my mates though. Hopefully they'll add some more acts before it sells out Do you get allocated a camping spot? Edited March 21, 2013 by MattDavies__ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Operator Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 (edited) first off, the announcement. I agree, it's got some good names I'm looking forward too especially NIN and Franz the rest is ok but didn't get me jumping around in circles. there are four stages with at least 5 groups per day, so there's a quite a few names to come. camping: jep, don't thinking of "normal" camping at rock en seine... at arrival you get welcomed by some nice french girls (seriously!) who take you to your allocated spot. jep, it's true. no camping where you want or whatever, the spots are marked with uhhh...well you know the stuff they use to mark football pitch lines and what not. kinda funny the first time round - all the tents in any orderly line aso. but don't worry, if your tents a bit bigger, longer, wider than the spot you get just arrange things with your neighbours. the two-person spots are really for two-person tents as well. I have a three to four person one but nobody mattered. the french are quite cool at festivals as said before. if you had the same in germany people'd probably call the police if you're 5 cm over their line to the breakfast bit: i haven't had that yet but don't expect full english or anything similar, it's coffee and croissants (at least thats what i remember). who knows they might have stocked up meanwhile or I just didn't look properly. similar in any cheaper hotel you go to in paris though. I've never had anything more than croissants and coffee/juice where I've been. Edited March 21, 2013 by Operator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timeforheroes Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 Hello Operator (can you give me number 9?) Am I right in thinking Sunday is due a 2nd headliner? Franz + B&S NIN + Phoenix SOAD + ? Also, do you have an idea how long it takes from campsite - CDG Airport on the monday morning? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
