is it likely there will be an decrease in drinks price this year with the current extortionate price of 9 euros for a pint or a mixer
It's not 9 euros for a pint. It's 9 euros for a litre which is nearer 2 pints

I went to book tickets at 8pm last night... only to realise it’s sold out.
I know it’s around £40 more expensive, but is it a viable option to buy a 3 day ticket then a 1 day ticket for the remaining day? Is that practical? Would rather get the full experience.
Think that's what they're wanting people to do, more money for them.

What were they thinking about moving there?
Couldnt pick a worse site if they tried.
Yeah i agree it was shocking. Assume it was for money reasons.

Most of summer session and TRNSMT are already recycling the same acts at this point and kelvingrove while good is quite expensive. I think the problem is less that there's no demand and more that DF aren't able to run a decent camping festival in Scotland anymore without attracting trouble (which T in the park did ever since Oasis headlined in the early 00s). I still think Festival Republic could go above Geoffs head and put on a better camping festival (they own half of DF anyway so he can't really stop them) which won't have the bad stigma of T in the park.
T had trouble for years and years. The thing that killed it was the move to Strathallan. At this point it's probs just more trouble than it's worth to bring it back with trnsmt selling so well.

Yeah it’s mad, I paid 65 quid for his heaton park gig next year and was 48 for this. Looking forward to next year to see what music republic do with Beni
I've no idea how they hope to turn a profit tbh. Assumed it relied on the prices rising rapidly but that hasn't happened yet. Would be good for Beni to sell well tho, I went in 2017 and 2018 and it's a great festival. The lineup is usually spot on, it's dead cheap and the beach is class.

I actually think both of them are cracking live. Was seeing Liam a couple of weeks ago and he had the place bouncing. Noel puts on a completely different show but still very good.
As far as I’m aware no festivals had them on the same weekend since they split up, would be good if Beni could be the first
One in Milan did last year I believe.
It's mad that a 4 day ticket for this costs less than a ticket to see LG in Britain.

A labour vote in my dads constituency, you might as well put it in the drain outside on the street.
Surely that means that him voting lib dems wouldnt be wasted?

It’s simple
The only party that oppose Brexit are one which won’t get in.
Labour is not appealing to a lifelong Tory voter.
Depends what constituency he is in? If it's a con/lib marginal then they defo could get in in that seat

The reality is if TITP came back next year at a festival site the suits and nailed a similar sized line ups over ALL stages that it used to have it would sell out.
Clearly not going to change ur mind but there's a clear reason why they're sticking with the strategy they are atm.
If it's as easy as u make out and they have a potential 80k sell out fest sitting there then why would they not do it? Cause it only exists in ur head

T died because the arsehole running it ruined it and lied about the demographic for trnsmt.
How do you know what’s popular and sells when nothing else gets a chance anymore??
Id love a proper music festival to come up here similar in size to T nail a line up and put oor Geoff and his cohorts out of business.
Part of T dying was mainly due to the site change imo. Rockness dying shows that 2 big fests can't operate in Scotland.
With Trnsmt they tried Radiohead and Queen- band I imagine fit into 'proper music' (?) and those days didn't sell great. Last year with Ezra, Catfish and Stormzy basically sold out.
I'm afraid you're out of touch to the reality of the situation. What bands are you wanting to see that aren't being booked somewhere else in the central belt in Scotland ?

I refuse to believe every music fan in Scotland only likes Clyde One pop or rubbish lad rock, I think a DF free major festival could work although it probably is the one big weekend like everyone has said.
There isn't room for 2 major music festivals in Scotland. Rockness died, T died.
Trnsmt isn't the only option too, you have Summer sessions in both ed and glasgow, kelvingrove, swg3 galvinisers etc where a range of non-pop acts are booked.
For a big music fest to thrive in Scotland it's pretty clear they need to be booking what is popular and sells which is exactly what they've been doing and it's working well for them.

How on earth have Sunday day tickets sold out
They'll have 'sold out' to try get people that still want to see Capaldi to go buy a weekend ticket.
Still very impressive nonetheless.

I guess The Strokes have pulled out of their summer tour in Europe. Too many hints.
What hints?

In the local press they have said that at the moment 25,000 tickets have been sold, more than in the last year. I don't know what happened to the price of the tickets, I think that until they announce more groups, prices will not rise anymore.
That's really impressive. Although I assume the model they're running means they need to be near sell out to make it profitable. With prices going up and a new announcement with LG etc could very well be a sell out.
It actually seems a good sales strategy, low start prices means big numbers which means more likely for people to book later on with their mates when price get higher and more names announced.

I don’t think you get my point mate sorry. Let me say it again.
Lattitude and Reading have never shared headliners before. For reasons said above in the sense that they are run by the same people and it would be a massive risk to have a shared headliner when you’ve got tickets to sell.
Its weird that they’ve taken that risk - especially on someone who is playing plenty of other events additional to both Reading and Lattitude.
Unless I’m so out of touch that Liam Gallagher is as big of a ticket seller as Ed Sheeran.
He's doing trnsmt which is in a different country, heaton park which sold out in a few mins. Outwith that it's just these 2 atm I think. I get maybe it's unusual that acts from these two fests share a headliner but it doesn't seem like it was thrown together last minute.
Doubt anyone is as big a ticket shifter as Ed but LG sold out his arena tour rapid for sure and his stock has been high for a couple years not and shows no signs of abating.

and when the act is Liam Gallagher
What do you mean? He's being booked for these shows precisely cause he has proved he can sell lots of tickets lol

Well he must be. The amount of tickets he’s trying to shift this year is crazy.
He must be what? Second choice for R&L?
Really doubt it, he will be a big draw at every fest he's doing. Manchester obv sold out in mins and TRNSMT will probs sell out his day too.
-
Everyone is hugely underestimating Liam Gallagher's ticket shifting ability here. No way he would need to have been second choice for R&L. He subbed last time and has had 2 number one albums since and plays mainly Oasis classics, he sells arenas out in minutes no bother.

That’s a different argument though. Ellis is suggesting the talent isn’t out there, when it is, he just won’t book a Wolf Alice or a Chvrches. Either of them would be much better headliners than the fucking Courteeners, and I don’t even like Chvrches either.
Both Wolf alice and Chvrches have played trnsmt since it started...

But why do the likes of Keane, Snow Patrol etc need to be on the initial poster? Who's deal breaker for watching Liam Gallagher is Keane?
Book some female led bands into those slots or even some UK Rap acts. They've booked the days on the strength of a headliner shifting the tickets so they could at least promote some other bands into the lower slots. Keane categorically do not need to be on that line up to increase ticket sales.
Think Keane are actually a decent booking for that day tbh. They booked a decent chunk of UK Rap artists last year when Stormzy headlined, wouldn't make as much sense before Courteeners I suppose.
For the record I'm not saying the bookings for trnsmt are acceptable but it's only a first announcement and I think its obvious what type of market they're aiming this at and the bands they need to book to make it work.

Would also fancy CHVRCHES to shift as many tickets as The Courteneers for a hometown headliner gig
They absolutely wouldn't. Chvrches played Ed Summer sessions last year and I don't think even sold it out. Courteeners sold it in a few hours I believe if that.
-
Any thoughts on whether The Weeknd could slot in as Friday co-headliner (hopefully alongside The Strokes). Saw him at Beni in 2017 and he was class.

It's not the lack of just female musicians, it's the lack of BAME artists as well which makes it all even worse.
The argument about TRNSMT's demographic doesn't really bare fruit when they have booked Lewis Capaldi.
It's up to the festivals and promoters themselves to put these bands in in the spotlight, SJM are the biggest culprits for this.
They literally made Blossoms the next big thing by putting them on every line up under the Sun. So why cant they do this with a female led band?
They book whatever sells and over the last few years of trnsmt the better selling days have been the ones that on here are considered shite.
In 2017 they booked Radiohead etc (first poster also had fuck all women on but no one moaned then) and it didn't sell as well as booking George Ezra so it's obvious which way they're going to go.
-
Starting to think The Strokes were planned to be announced alongside The Killers and KoL as the clue fitted all three. If that poster with them on it is legit then they surely must have planned to announce them last week when the poster was released?
Hopefully just a case of a delay to announcing them, as they haven't started announcing summer dates yet for 2020.

Rumour has it one of the Friday headliners is The Strokes who haven't announced anything for next Summer yet.
Also, its a bit close to Christmas I think to announce more
