was lovely being at Tool last year at the O2 arena (they always request that people don't film etc and enforce it - ie: ask Security to remove offenders etc) - the entire gig was a wonderful experience not having to look at other people's phones the entire time. Really gets on my tits.

sounds good to me. Not confirmed yet, but I think me and a mate are going as I didn't get Glastonbury tickets and they're doing 30% off at the moment until end of year. We're on about full 4 days VIP which might be nice for a change! I'll obviously buy some beers there, but I usually when coming to a fest bring a case with me and some spirits for the evening, usually to decant into my hip flask and carry around. We will probably get a bit drunk but not enough to cause people issues. I hate those sort of knob heads to be fair. Thanks for the info, looking forward to it. Wondering who the final 2 headliners are, never seen Meshuggah so should be fun.

If you ‘jib in’ it means to get in for free by nefarious means. Commonly used when getting into any event without a ticket. Be that sneaking in, rushing the doors, climbing over a fence etc. think euro 2021 final at Wembley when all those idiots broke in to Wembley stadium and England had to play a closed doors game as a result.

SHOULD they be sold though? Theatres sell restricted view seats - thats OK usually as you can still see the show. Seats behind the stage where you have your own screen scream 'lets maximise the bottom line here' to me. I just think it's wrong. If you don't agree, then you don't agree. Thats the great thing about being Human, we aren't all the same after all.

Mate I’m past the getting smashed all day vibe 🤣 sound like my sort of festival. By accounts it’s only small which will be nice. Didn’t get Glastonbury tickets today so I’ll be sorting this out sooner rather than later.

They shouldn’t offer them because they’re behind the stage and only there to make extra money presumably. Why are those tickets for sale anyway? There’s only one reason I can think of - ‘to allow more fans to attend’ translates to ‘because Taylor wants another £100m this year’ or something to that effect. Unless they come with a disclaimer that says ‘behind the stage’ or something they shouldn’t be sold. Even then, they’re being sold purely to treat people as cash cows. As I’ve said, ive be done tons of stadium gigs, never once has a seat behind the stage been sold I don’t think. And if you have a restricted view the tickets say so at point of sale. In that case that might make slightly more sense - if those seats are clearly advertised as ‘restricted view’ or similar to that when purchased. Again I could ask, if they offered you a ticket to the cinema for 20% less but then told you for the last half hour of the film you had to wear a blindfold would you bother? It seems those tickets are standard, clearly there for the extra £ and no other reason, which is why I think it’s wrong. Again - stop putting words in my mouth - clearly blind people can enjoy music. At least when they pay to see a gig they aren’t expecting anything other than what they know their personal limitations allow. If you are panicking to get a ticket and select ‘best available’ as most sites want you to now, and get a seat behind the stage that isn’t marked as restricted view, if they’re not, that’s just plain wrong.

For the first time in ages I was actually on a holding page today. Normally the site just crashes. Didn’t get a sniff of the booking page though. we’ll reassess in April. Other half’s dad won’t go unless he gets a Campervan ticket so it’s unlikely we’ll pay for tickets. I’m already thinking about trying to volunteer to make sure I get to go, other half not too bothered. We shall see.

That’s not the point. If you can’t see the artist you’ve literally paid to see they shouldn’t offer the tickets. I’ve been to tons of stadium shows, never once have tickets behind the stage been sold. New level of f**kery that. Not being a baby, just calling out something I have every right to 👍

doesn't matter if you or others on here don't want the behind the screen seats, its the mere fact she deems it so necessary to sell them that makes my blood boil. Take advantage of your fans to the absolute max, charge them to watch you on a screen whilst pretending to care. You're better off paying to go to the cinema and be tortured through the Era's tour film than you are that. The whole thing just stinks to me. At least at the o2 if you have a gods ticket you have a chance of seeing or hearing something. Top tier at Wembley you won't hear a f**king thing and you're being charged the same as other artists charge for basic stadium tour tickets (for example my standing tix for Foos at Olympic Stadium were only around £10 more than that and are comparatively the better purchase in terms of value.

I won't be anywhere near that woman it's far from imaginary. Every tour date she's doing has such arrangements for pricing, and you can't say the screens behind the stage aren't true because they are. Every single aspect of everything that woman does is to make the maximum amount of money she can out of Joe Punter. Not like she needs it is it? I'm furious that people can't see that, on a moralistic level, she is mugging all of you lot off with everything she does. Also her music is turgid filth but that's another point entirely. Good luck getting Glastonbury tickets to all, by the way.

Was that for the year she confirmed a few years back? if not then god help us all. The pyramid field will have extra areas everyone needs to it to enter. The screens will be behind the stage and you’ll need to pay for those as well. It’s going to be a nightmare. And I’ll be off enjoying all the other fun Glastonbury has to offer.

Nope

At least there’s a chance they might actually play Glastonbury albeit unlikely. Don’t post on a Glastonbury forum about someone who clearly has no interest in playing the festival and isn’t playing the festival.

That’s not what I meant, nor said, is it?

Shame the poor Brazilian person died. can we all agree that as Swifty is clearly lining her pockets, can’t play glasto this year anyway, likely never will and is utterly awful that we close down this thread? Every time I log on it’s the top thread and very distracting from the ACTUAL glasto threads in the actual glasto part of this site? other UK festivals might be more appropriate. There isn’t a cash making forum that I can see.
