[Green Man 2010]

Hi bawlee

It seems from all the posts I've read that ticketline are blaming the Post Office for their own failures. I'm certain that if the Post Office was guilty it would have come to light back in May, when TL said they'd delivered to the Post Office, not suddenly now. I had the same problem as you; Early Bird tickets gone missing. So many other people have reported exactly the same thing and are being told that the tickets were given to the Post Office on May 13th. I have my tickets now but they are reissues. I overheard a conversation while on one of my calls to Tickeltline which indicated that they are not telling people the truth. And they made no fuss about reassuing tickets.

Tickeltline are rubbish and the Green Man really shouldn't be dealing with them. Perhaps they have little choice.

A few years back Glastonbury and Reading both used courier services to deliver tickets and honestly they were far worse than the Post Office (tellingly both Glasto and Reading now use the Post Office).

I don't want to come across as the Post Office's #1 fan but they are, I'm sure, not to blame and are suffering from the 'kick a person when they're down' syndrome.

All I can say is, the Green Man festival is worth the hassle and I hope everything goes well for you when you get there.

Enjoy.

Hey robalotalob

Crickhowel is walking distance, and a very pleasant walk it is too. Nice off-licence in town as well. Plus one of the best pubs in the country (The Bear).

Cheers

Thanks berylbigsis and rbranigan

The answers both helped. I'm onto Ticketline every day now till I get my tickets.

[Arcade Fire]

Arcade Fire, of course, will be playing Reading and Leeds. I saw them at Reading and Glasto before. At Glasto they were spoiled by the mud of Stage 2 while the two times at Reading were excellent. Reading seems better for them. Maybe next year at Glasto, main stage? But I don't think thats suits them.

As for Radiohead. They played Reading last year and were dull.

[Readng needs to be more like Glasto!]

Why do you want Reading to be more like Glasto? Why not enjoy each festival for its own sake and in its own identity. I go to Glasto, Womad, Green Man and Reading and they're all different, all have their own goods and bads. I love em all.

Cheers

[10 man tent?]

Totally agree with the advice here. Lots of small tents are better. At Glastonbury we usually have 5 or 6 tents together. At Womad we add a gazebo for central socializing/drinking.

Hi

I ordered my early bird tickets way back in November, yet I still haven't received them. Is anyone else in the same boat? With only 10 days to go I'm getting impatient. Ticketline says the tickest are not yet ready for delivery. I tried calling Ticketline and got no reply.

Why do they leave it so late.

Cheers
