Eh, one of the reasons I've queued all day to see Bruce is to avoid the very problem you speak of. Standing tickets outside the pit is an unpleasant mess.

Once you've been in the pit - its hard to consider going back behind the barrier. I took the time to queue after reading the opinions on here a couple of tours back. Before that I hadn't been that arsed. Worth the effort every which way.

I still stand by it being an annoying system, I'd much rather be in the pub all day getting ruined.

Out of interest what are the fans in the queue like? I watched that documentary they put out not long ago and some of the fans were ridiculous. It's like they listened to nothing but Springsteen, all day, every day.

Yes ....and?

Most in the queue just want to get the best view they can and put up with a boring afternoon to achieve it. There's also a smattering of Bruce nutters - but they've usually got their numbered pit admissions by the time we get there (Cardiff for instance they started queuing the day before at least). Some of them are a little odd. We were stood in front of a guy who got a metal music stand out when he came on and followed the sheet music all the way through the gig.

Take a look if you haven't already at BTX - one of the Springsteen message boards. Populated by complete Bruce Nazis. That's where the real nutters hang out. You might recognise some of the posters on here as well mind - Nal for instance goes on occasionally and winds folk up I've noticed.

I don't understand how a legit outlet, like Amazon, gets away with selling product that has never legally been available?

Having said that, this is a much better option than the official 3cd/5lp live box set that was officially released

It is legal - I can't remember all the details, but basically there's some kind of loophole that means that certain foreign radio broadcasts aren't under copyright in the UK or something like that - so anyone can release them and there's nothing that Springsteen and/or his record company can do to stop it.

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
    • Yup and they aren't cheap   Glastonbury is different though, it's a place that will pack out for rarities they don't usually see. Download strictly speaking shouldn't be the strangest place for Avril to pop up of she had been a touring artist of longer times over the years.   Avril and GC would get the same billing for me and GC are selling arenas out quicker than Avril sold Ally Pally. Bearing in mind she'd pnly done soem Brixton dates before.
    • Avril gets above GC on rarity (see Cypress Hill this year). She drew in something like 70,000 at Glastonbury, so much so that they had to close the field off. I’d wager that she would get the biggest crowd of the entire weekend if she was to play DL.
