Comfy Bean Posted August 7, 2017 Report Share Posted August 7, 2017 16 hours ago, LOCHLAND5 said: Emperor tickets cost for an adult usually between £35 and £42 depending when or which release you buy . It`s up. £98.45 for 2 tickets in today`s pre- sale so may go up again this year in the public sale ?. If you`ve got kids under 16 you are now cheaper going to Glastonbury and camping in one of their kids fields where you can`t get in without weans in your party. Have to wait till 2019 though ! Are we expecting a hike on the Thursday price and the weekend camping ? I`m doubting my sanity going in blind at this stage without the line-up. I love KC and have always had a great weekend but if the price keeps going up and they also increase the capacity again then i`d have to consider my options. Yesterday I was thinking I`d wait till the line-up announcement but last minute decision to keep the faith in the KC team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting ridiculous. completely agree! sure I paid £25 in 2013! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bottonrob Posted August 7, 2017 Report Share Posted August 7, 2017 I completely forgot about this but luckily saw a message on FB and found my email in spam! Sorted now but the 4 adults for the 1st time (daughter turns 16 next month!) is a financial crippler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOCHLAND5 Posted August 7, 2017 Report Share Posted August 7, 2017 Don't take this wrong way I know it's a lot of money but............... payment plan makes it less painful and that's what lots of folk do now. And it's the most civilised way of doing the weekend............... and if your savy you get the cost of ticket back beer smuggling! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippy70 Posted August 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2017 Woo hoo managed to get Emperors tickets for the first time ever ..... I usually stay in The Shire so what's the main afvantages ( apart from parking) and am I right in thinking there's 3 separate field ? Where do you suggest for the 'older' festival goer needing a bit of sleep ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamj Posted August 8, 2017 Report Share Posted August 8, 2017 They do split the filed into early risers, late night and quiet (or something along those lines) - however we found everyones just plonks where they can get to be honest, we like having the entrance to the arena that takes you out at the kids area, easy to nip back and forth for alcohol stock ups, there's free showers too but queues are normally quite big especially on a morning. I'm sure others will have some further advantages too..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramragon Posted August 8, 2017 Report Share Posted August 8, 2017 Seems like presale must have bought a majority of the tickets and no doubt a load of touts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamj Posted August 8, 2017 Report Share Posted August 8, 2017 seen whines and whinges today on fb about 'those that got the payment plan early, getting access to emps early too' and it 'not being fair'........might have had pre early access but we bought our emps outright too as payment plan wasn't an option, then had to add Thursday today as it hadn't been an option so far, so paying 3 x postage too.

ramragon Posted August 8, 2017 Report Share Posted August 8, 2017 There's always loads of complaints from people that missed out. It was fair enough that the people who bought early release got first choice at emperors as they werent available when the 15 month payment plan came out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue6field Posted August 8, 2017 Report Share Posted August 8, 2017 Traditionally. Do more emperors field tickets become available? one of our group missed out and is on a waiting list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramragon Posted August 8, 2017 Report Share Posted August 8, 2017 They will become available again at some point, might have a bit of a wait though. When all the payment plans have finished all the tickets that have not been fully paid off get resold. Waiting list is probably your best bet although you might find people selling them on here for face value if you're lucky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
festival fan from fife Posted August 9, 2017 Report Share Posted August 9, 2017 I got my tickets on the pre sale with the code... bit of a shocker at the price and paying outright,but for me the shorter walk from the car and into the arena makes it worth it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bainy9 Posted August 9, 2017 Report Share Posted August 9, 2017 In terms of the other camping fields, although your asked to make a choice up front, is this adhered to or can anyone camp anywhere except emperors and other posh bits? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't get the appeal of it now unfortunately after getting the results of my herpes test back just before the festival this year i've been unable to afford to be ripped of quite so early this year after spending my money on treatment no doubt come next year i'll be getting ripped off even more by having to pay an inflated price for the luxury of camping with my friend should I wish continue my Kendal Calling attendance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
