So I'm going to reading festival for the first time next week, I've been searching around trying to find answers to a couple questions but can't seem to find what I'm looking for. I have two day tickets, one for Friday and one for Saturday. The ticket says the site opens from 9.30am but the arena opens at 11am, does that mean that once I get into the site I can go to the campsite and see my friends (who have weekend tickets) before I line up to go into the arena? Or is there a different route for day ticket holders that doesn't go through the campsite? 2) Also, I'm unsure of what time I actually have to leave the site by? Is there a specific time that day ticket holders have to be out by? 3) Lastly, as I'm leaving the site will I be walking through the campsite? If so, would it be possible for me to visit my friends for a while before I actually leave? I know I won't be allowed back into the arena if I do this but is it possible? Sorry there's a lot of questions, thanks in advance!

I couldn't find a 'books' thread on here, well certainly nothing in the recent search items. So what's everyone reading at the moment? I'm currently reading The Secret Barrister - Stories of the Law and How It's Broken. Only a couple of chapters in but it has me hooked so far. I've always had a huge interest in the law, I studied it at uni and compliance sits under my remit at work. Made some purchases today - The Strange Death of Europe, Tim Marshall's Divided, How Democracies Die & How Britain Really Works. I read mostly non-fiction these days, but do like a good story every so often. George Orwell's 1984 is my all-time favourite read, which probably isn't a huge surprise given what I read generally.

Hi! I am a final year Events Management student currently working on my dissertation. I was just wondering if any UK music festival organisers would be able to give me 15-20 minutes of their time to discuss risk management? Any help would be greatly appreciated! 😊

As an advanced warning, R&L are taking a zero tolerance policy towards banned/illegal substances. Following unfortunate incidents at last years events they are cracking down. Any illegal substance found will be confiscated and destroyed. Any persons found with said items will be given a permanent ban from all FestivalRepublic events & also handed over to on site police where their final fate is decided.

Hi Everyone! In need of help. I went to Leeds fest last year and didn't particularly like it; as it was full of very young teenagers getting drugged up. I'm 21 and found it hard to find people my own age. I'm really contemplating going to Reading this year. What is everyone's experiences on them both?

What's the best concert you have ever been to? For me it was Tame Impala at Glastonbury 2019, headlining the other stage. The show was just incredible. I love Tame Impala anyway; but i just remember stopping for a second looking round and being frozen in time for a split second. I felt so much comfort and relaxed in this moment. Also they played really well.

Poll up, poll up! Ladies and gentlemen please, what can be done to help encourage people to take their belongings with them? Especially after Reading Festival, but I guess it applies across the board. -
Could we have a separate discussion area with a big link to discuss ideas for how to reduce festival waste, encourage people to take their tents home, make festivals greener etc? I've got about 20 ideas I would like to share and get feedback on (and potentially then send to the organisers/council to try to make them happen). I also want to see other people's ideas. Does such a thing already exist somewhere else? For me it is mostly about Reading Festival as that is the one nearest me, and the one I went to during the aftermath this year to salvage tents to send to refugees (and please don't be misled on this subject - people volunteer to salvage tents but the number left behind is approximately 100x larger than the number it is physically possible for us to salvage in the time allowed, with the number of volunteers we have - don't kid yourselves, virtually everything that's left behind goes into landfill/incineration ya filthy animals!) Ideas from/for other festivals are welcome too though.

So I have been put onto guestlist for Reading next week just for the day and am not too sure how it works. I’ve seen a few people say this means I have access to a guest area and nice loos but I have also seen people say it means you are able to go side stage aswell. If so, can someone just name everything I am able to do as a Guest and if it is the same as VIP? If not, how can I get VIP as I have got this ticket from one of the artist’s crew members. I’d like to see them from the side of the stage

We have a 6am departure on Thursday from Reading on a coach. Based on last year, what sort of journey time should we expect? Last year we drove early on Wednesday and didn’t hit any traffic at all! But then had to cue in the heat for about 4hrs!!

Do you think it’s worth getting a locker? Is it worth the money? My mother wants me to get one, it’s the first time I’ve been to a festival. And has anyone got advice on safety tips and how to keep clothes and stuff safe?

Hi everyone! we are coming from France and i have a few questions for the ones who already know the festival... I already sent a message to the organisation but they couldn't answer me... - Do you know if there is enough taxis at the end of each day? I mean will we have to wait 3 hours or is this organisation flowless? As we will stay in henley-on thames... - I saw the timetable for the 2018 edition, the concerts usually ends pretty early (10.30pm or 11.30pm) is the site closed after that or is there DJ sets or after parties? Thanks guys! Sam
