    Completely understandable and i realise there are more important things like people's health and safety, but a bit disappointing nonetheless. Had really been looking forward to this gig and was going to be my last big bosh of the year...

    Having Elton headline for the first time ever is a bit different to having Kiss-Aerosmith-AC/DC-Black Sabbath on a seemingly rotating loop

    I get your point but AC/DC have only played one Uk festival this century, so that was a pretty big booking for Download

    I think it's coincidence rather than anything.

    It's an arena tour, would seems strange to play Glastonbury but no other festival.

    Also there are several 4-5 day gaps in their schedule.

    You mean like Billie, Paul, and Kendrick  did this year?

    Ah well, if there's ever a gig where you have to miss the end it's one with a two and three quarter hour set haha.

    6 month early 50% off tickets, must be a new record! Wonder why - surely they have more to announce that they reckon will sell? bit weird

    Yeah it's definitely a bit strange to have deals like that so early. More info here anyway :

    They got a max limit for people on the bridge by the local council. So that's the reason for only VIP this year. Really hope this changes for next year!

    Ah, I see. I remember this year trying to leave the bits area one night but there was only one gate and were too many people trying to leave and too many trying to enter, so security was having to shoo away crowds of people so that each group could take turns  entering/exiting. Incredibly poor organisation.

    This was a total pain in the ass. From my recollection, though, wasn't it part of the planning arrangement with the local council? Someone else in here may have a better memory than me in this case, but I remember the whole BITS area, bridge included, all being the subject of a messy planning dispute based on crowd size, timing and access.

    The whole site actually spans two administrative areas so they've to deal with the BCN and (I think) Sant Adria councils on different aspects of it. 

    For all of the shit they got wrong last time out, this one may be beyond their control. 

    But theyve had the BITS area and the bridge open to standard ticket holders before, so dont see why the council would make them change it. I thought it was just primavera being greedy bastards again.
