Yeh the couple made available to me when I posted where gone shortly after so seemed to go on NYE. What's the chances of getting them on resale or more allocations etc? Haven't been since 2015.
-
Was looking at the tickets and only the ones under English are available for 3 days from what I can tell. If I select the other languages they all say unavailable. Was looking to pay in Euro rather than Sterling. Is this a sign that it is about to sell out? Why would different languages have different allocations?

Add more sawdust boxes with better scoops and keep the sawdust boxes filled. Every place only had one sawdust box this year and it was often not near half the toilets it was serving and the cups were bad at scooping enough.
Get a proper pre-festival communication on how there will be much less seen and smelled when sawdust is used and that you are doing your bit etc. and people will actually do the sawdust bit. This year they just mentioned they'd be compost toilets and linked to the providers site way way down in a general info mail.
Have a little brush to clean up spilled sawdust as any sign of "mess", no matter how benign, on the seat area looks off putting.

Early bird Adult tickets still seem to be available. You'd be well annoyed if you saw the sold out earlier and settled for picking up a higher price tier.

Just got a couple of Adult early birds after it had been saying sold out for 30 mins.

My bloody-minded insistence on bringing a head torch pays off! There never seems to be much of a queue for them so that's helpful.

Am I the only person who couldn't pick a FWF track out of a lineup? I know they've played the festival before but my only reaction to the name is ???

Stop being so cruel to Stillill42 🤣

I hope Line of Best Fit have a backup in case this is one of the weekends Musk gets high and orders some new site breaking change to Twitter.
-
Make sure to download the tickets before you arrive on site. I remember a very panicked queue as we weren't sure we'd have them downloaded before we made the front of the line. Internet is super spotty there.

It's mad how many tickets are on there and people are still holding out for the price they paid for them when it's next week and likelihood is they'll end up with nothing
If the sellers united to not undercut each other the bargain hunters will have to make a call on paying asking or not going to the festival so that swings both ways.

Might be being at the end of the season more bands are burned out or have had more time to have some other misfortune land on them. Or more likely there is a curse on the place caused by a particularly bad Karaoke rendition of "I am the Resurrection" upsetting the ancient gods.

Me and my mate are both over 6 feet tall and he towered over us, calling us short-arses. It was all done in good humour. I hope to see him bouncing around again this year.
You'll likely find him standing in front of my partner so. She seems to always get pure giants in front of her.

I'd say someone linked the artist name ? with the details in the general clashfinder database somehow and someone else since removed them.
-
At some point if you hovered over the ? it would give you FWF's details but it is no longer there.

If it's the Walkmen, in a way it'll be slightly disappointing since everyone expects it to be the Walkmen and it won't feel like a rabbit's been pulled out of a hat, whereas if EOTR come up with something monumentally left-wing and unexpected then we can all go Whooooh, didn't see that one coming!
Not sure if everyone thinks it will be them. Sure seems to be a lot of people holding onto the boygenius possibility on the Whatsapp group. Also Fat White Family got a boost when someone edited them into the Clashfinder. However I'd agree Walkmen feel like they'd have the right mix of size and appeal for being in the surprise slot.

Not sure what implications (if any) it has for the 24 lineup but the Electric Picnic 2024 is on two weeks earlier now, 16th August.
Did they see the absolute horrorshow of weather last week and think "damn wouldn't it be great to put a festival on during that?" 😃

Wait... you're meant to WASH sleeping bags?

Same thing happened last year. Having all the resales at once is not a great setup for sellers. Staggering would preserve the resale value but I guess the festival wants to ensure their own supply is long exhausted before it could be undermined by cheaper options. To be honest had we been able to put them up for sale back at the first line up announcement and gotten a buyer I wouldn't be looking forward to heading over in 2 weeks. Knowing the resale mess was ahead of us we bit the bullet and found the holidays with work to make it happen (which was the real concern). Glad that we did now.

I suggested Cate le Bon in the Whatsapp group after it was pointed out she produced WIlco's album. Sweet Baboo, who is playing Sunday, plays with her a lot. As Wilco are on Friday and Sweet Baboo is Sunday she solves the Venn Diagram as a common factor between two acts on the other days. No real reason to keep her secret though other than a bit of fun.
edit ah boo Wilco are Thursday. stilll...

Interesting the Arena opening time is down as 1.30pm. I remember it being more like 5pm in the past. I wonder if anything will actually be happening. Even coming in at 5pm most of the food wasn't ready in the past.

Every year my mates offer me a refund on my ticket if i eat two whole rotisserie chickens. Maybe this is the year
at once? over the course of a day? the weekend? Does it include the gravy and potatoes and stuffing too?

I'd say the spammers are just automatically scraping forums everywhere for things that look like whatsapp codes. You could probably obfuscate it and it would stop them getting in.. just add something to the code with instructions that humans can edit it.

Watching that video with people going out of their minds I wonder if it's the same festival I was at that I spent most of my time in a chair. 😁
