Pretty sure it used to happen back in the day, remember lots of nice clean local people, smartish ladies in their 50's and 60's wandering round in groups on sunday evening, looking amused at the carnage that had been caused. Maybe they've stopped it since.

i had two friends get in on the sunday 2007 after 3 days of trying :rolleyes:

they eventually got in around midday on the sunday as two guys having to leave gave them their wristbands, tickets and stub thingies, they looked nothing like the guys on the tickets and one of them was supposed to be greek despite blatantly not looking anything like a greek person but they went for it anyway and were surprised when the staff on the gate checked their tickets and wristbands and then just waved them through!

Ha that reminds me of a lady I know in her 50s who got a Sunday locals ticket I think in 2007 and was very upset she got her dress muddy, and refused to use the loos the entire day! But she loved it, still talks about it!

Wots this "lady in her 50s" business....sounds as though you're saying 50s is ancient? That makes me ancient I guess in meaningless chronological time...in real time Im as young as the rest of you...but Im not ageist and fully expect to take my Mum this year (76) and my sons (7 and 13)....

A lady in her 50s getting muddy, how outrageous...

Dont be so bloody ageist....

Back to the original point - last year the gates were empty and unmanned from around midnight on Sunday night - I remember being a bit surprised as we went back to our campervan then I went out again - was thinking it strange that they maintain such good security all the way through the security then for the last few hours when everyone will be partying they let it all go! Just to be specific - I'm talking about the gates out past Leftfield - just before the Hill of Death - all totally open and deserted.

Edit: By the way - as I hadn't been back to the camper all day, I can't say about the 5pm timing mentioned in the original question - but deffo later all was open.

I only mentioned their ages as in the context, combined with their dress, it very much made them stand out, which is what made me find out that they were locals getting in on a special sunday evening ticket.

The notion that mentioning someone's age when relevant to the context is ageist is absurd. Ageism is discriminating against or stereotyping someone on the basis of age.

Anyhoo. Anyone know if there did used to be these sunday tickets?

      Yeah I did spot that AXS had more available for the O2 shows Muse are doing, though I think that comes with the territory of AXS now being the venue's primary ticket selling platform.    My instinct remains they'll probably still play to a big crowd on the night - sales were similarly slow in 2023 but videos of those gigs showed the venue looking pretty much full. Equally it probably would be sold out if the pricing was even just slightly less ridiculous. Shave up to £50 off some of these categories and I think that would've got people to go with it.

      Some are definitely already there with that and with another round of inflation looking like it's on the way, it certainly locks that in. And I say that as someone who also isn't willing to break the £100 marker.

      A lot of people have said this online but does the Marvel world need new cities to play with? New York seems to be a target of all the villains to the point where you wonder why anyone in that world still lives there. Much as you can accuse me of overthinking it I guess haha.    I do agree that The Void is a compellingly different villain in many respects given the superpower is trapping people in their most traumatic memories. Shame in some respects the film came out in the post-Endgame funk Marvel seems stuck in and a lot of people missed out on it.    Speaking of, I rewatched Infinity War the other day. First time I think I've seen it since seeing it in the cinema on its opening day. Holds up pretty well imo - I have issues sometimes with ensemble casts and jumping between 4/5 storylines but it felt this one got the balance right and also properly explored Thanos. So it was good.

      What telly progs are you bingeing on?

      By charlierc · Posted

      I didn't think I'd ever watched a Coben adaptation or read one of the original books, though turns out I did - I watched one called The Stranger back in 2020. Clearly didn't stick long in my memory as until researching it, I didn't know that was one of his. Queens Gambit or Black Mirror, it was not.    But clearly it's popular tripe in some respect if Netflix is going yes to everything he has to offer and are apparently about to start trying his most popular individual character, as seen below:   https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2026/jul/30/how-harlan-coben-became-the-king-of-potboiler-tv   Plus hey. Sometimes people get a kick from watching something and deriding it as crap. Don't let this internet rando stop you haha
