It was 2 and a half days until this year, when it became 3 full days not not that much extra tbh. I paid £120 plus fees in 2021, yet in 2024 it will be £260 so there is a huge price jump in a few short years and to me personally I haven't seen a huge jump in the quality of the line up. Using the payment plans jumps the cost up even more as far as I am aware (it has been in previous years). Victorious, while a good festival, is not even on par with other main stream festivals yet (hardly anyone even knows it exists), plus the campsite is hardly in a convenient place to go back to in the middle of the day to chill out. I am not local so wouldn't even contemplate doing just a day - it's not worth it.

For locals who will go whatever maybe. Not many are booking hotels, tickets etc… at increased prices without knowing there’s acts on that you want. It’s not a Glasto where there’s lots to do so the music doesn’t overly matter
not local and have to book digs and glasto different to any fest. just think it is still worth its money and people had it good when £25 a day. i book iow and victorious both on early bird without a line up ,but thats just me i suppose as will always find act i like or food break ,chat or walkaround if not.

Yes, but it used to be free!
I can see how the price could put off non-locals, once you start adding on accommodation and transport it could be cheaper (or less hassle) to go to a different fest with on site camping/parking.
yes and i went when free but look at fest now to what it was and calibre of acts we have had. i go iow and that is more money and for me victorious get better acts through whole day.this year was only time i felt undercard was weak
-
why are so many people moaning about price? this was always a cheap 2 day fest with some huge names for money and funded by council. we are on 3 day now and prices rising but still cheaper than other fests. it also has a tier and paayment plan meaning you can get at cheapest price and at £55 a day is still a huge bargain.

be up for pulp who were fab at iow and wet leg as a sub maybe. mumford are from uk not usa
-
what is all this oasis and expecting talk. you book separate acts ,people book tickets for separate acts. you then cant change that on weekend as its false advertising .oasis will not play if got back together victorious .they will do home gigs ,london and glasto. noel and liam will not play a fest at same time. likely we get liam and maybe his def maybe tour show,but if does that then maybe glasyo or reading will get.more likely noel.

Damn! I was only on 6th floor. Was a plus when the lifts were rammed - don't think i'd have handled the stairs any higher tho.
believe me i waited on lifts,not walking 15 flights after a day at fest getting there at 12 and getting back around same time.
-
ok for me i would go . special open acts......... snow patrol embrace duffy or some female artist
headliners common flo kol or blur liam
headliners castle richard ashcroft chase and status foals or 2 door.

I absolutely loved this years festival. Sunday certainly seemed busiest of the days but didn't seem as bad as last years Sunday. Stayed in Uni halls (Greetham) for the first time this year too and can't fault them. Only issue I found was it was loud outside throughout the night. Still...much more preferable than camping!
Looking forward to finding out next years line up before I make my decision on a full weekend or the cheeky day ticket or 2.
not if you were on 15 floor it was not loud lol

prices for next year have gone up again.cant believe what some are charging. trying to get somewhere is hard around 70% of places have gone. ibis budjet cheapest ive found at £487. sent a couple of emails off to other places but no reply yet. may have to be uni digs again which ok for me but cant see mrs liking as double for 2 cramped . stayed at unite halls greetham st this year,which fine for me and walk was easy 25 mins.anyone stayed at other halls and can say which do best doubles or do they do a fam room

It's about a 25 min walk, and Pompey is pretty flat so easy to stroll. You can also hire an electric scooter if you've got the Voi app (but they stop working at 10pm so you can't use them post fest).
Greetham Street is near Guildhall Walk, where all the nightclubs are, but I'd recommend Albert Road (very slight detour) or Elm Grove (on your way between the common and the halls).
cheers.enjoy the fest

I've only stayed at Rees Hall, but I know Greetham Street Hall rooms are ensuite. About a 30 minute walk. It's very near Portsmouth and Southsea train station.
