    Can anyone tell me who has went previous years if people on the waiting list ever get any tickets? 

    I know it all depends but just want to know if anyone has ever been on the waiting list and actually got tickets?

    I currently have flights, camping, hive resort passes, flights and only 1 combi ticket (need one more).

    Contemplating between just chancing someone selling a spare on the day to selling all my tickets <_<

    Im shocked from the news about Chris Cornell. I remember thinking in November that Temple of The Dog will play in RW this year. So sad :(

    Celebrity deaths would never usually get to me but my god my heart sank when I heard. Audioslave and Soundgarden helped me through them years of teenage angst :(

    The only safe ways to buy tix from other people is via the site and from Ticketswap. Sad you got into that situation hm.

    I think there are a few ways to get tix now. I've noticed that some people on the forum sometimes seem to have a spare or are in the situation where they have to cancel their trip so that they'd have to sell their tix here or trying to find people to sell 'm too. I'd keep an eye out on Ticketswap, but there it almost seems impossible to buy one even with the notifications on when one gets free. There's also a waiting list yes but I think those tix come free a few weeks before the festival starts (like 2 weeks or so?) so idk if you should count on that. Lastly I've noticed that there are a lot of competitions going on from brands whose are giving out tickets to the winners, so you could find some of those and enter?

    I don't think it's gonna work out fine to try to get in on a Friday with only a Thursday bracelet or not even one on so. They've gotten strict at that point I think. Also I don't think you're gonna find anyone inside who'd be willing to sell his ticket for a Thursday + you'll probably get nothing out of that Thursday if you go searching all day for a spare weekend tick :/ 

    Hope you get 2 tickets, just keep an eye on this thread. There are always people who're selling on here, just try to sell it via Ticketswap and nothing else :) 

     Thanks for the quick reply! Yeah I've now only been using TicketSwap and that will be the only thing I will be using from now on but yeah like you said it is impossible to get one even when I stay on the page all day refreshing! Nightmare.

    I am not gonna give up though! Even if it means turning up on the day like s homeless person going around with my hand out "spare ticket?" And if that doesn't work I will have to just sell my hive camping and get a flight home. Fml

    Okay so I am in a bit of predicament;

    I bought two camping tickets, drink/food vouchers and flights (from Ireland) for my myself and my man human. Said man human was meant to buy the actual weekend tickets but left it to late and alas! they were all sold out. 

    I have been DREAMING of going to Rock Werchter since 2008 and finally had both  money and someone to go with (all my friend are shit with even shitter taste in music so they never even considered going) so being the wonderfully impatient/over-eager/impulsive idiot that I am, found a guy from the Netherlands selling a pair!  I got him to send me his address, picture of his ID, made him fill out a contract, and got him to send me his bank details. Naively I transferred €550 and later found out it was a fraud account. Dutch/ Irish police involved now but slim chances of getting my money back (lesson learnt). Anyway moving on. . 

    Fast forward to now. I have been trying pretty much every minute of the day along with everyone in my office to try get me a pair of tickets and it's proving impossible. I really don't want to give any business to touts (not that I could afford to anyway) so these are my questions:

    1) What are the chances of more becoming available (I'm on the waiting list)? Has anyone been in a similar situation?

    2) What do you guys think of the idea of me buying a Thursday ticket then trying to find someone with a spare weekend ticket inside?  OR Getting in on a Thursday ticket and pulling the oul "I lost my wristband" trick 

     

    fml.
