Anyone notice in the Glasto Q Daily...

[Swindlebiscuit]

...that EOTR had an entire full page advert every single day?

I didn't see any other festival advertising itself so prominently in the Glastonbury papers.

I hope that doesn't mean they're struggling to sell tickets.

Even if they were, I hope that means they all get snaffled up fairly quickly and they can use the cash to strongarm The Fiery Furnaces into headlining the Bimble Inn.

Yep, we spotted that too

Field Day had a few ads as well. And it's a bit late to be advertising Latitude......

I wouldn't read anything bad into it

[Sipperana]

Nah, I think tickets are selling pretty well. Because it's at the end of the fezzie season there's still plenty of time to advertise and whip up more interest, especially at such a big event as Glasto, where a number of the bands also performed.

My only concern is that Fleet Foxes apparently put in a bit of a disappointing set at Glasto, which might put some people off.

I didn't see them at Glast and have saved them for EOTR.

[angelheaded hipster]

Likewise

We did actually hear a little of their set - from the cider bus

We'll eschew the cider bus for somewhere much closer at EOTR

[Sipperana]

We almost have enough for a "We went to Glasto and didn't see Fleet Foxes cos we were saving them for EOTR" meet!

I was well dissappointed with them at Glastonbury and yes I understand it probably wasn't the best time or place to see them but I will be giving them a miss. No worries though as it means I can see other people I wouldn't otherwise have seen

I thought they were always up against it after the crowd went nuts for N.E.R.D and wanted more of them and Fleet Foxes were not going to follow that very well. Just unfortunate scheduling for them.As mentioned earlier they'll go down a storm at EOTR.

The adverts made me panic buy my ticket btw

[Neville Street]

Also eligible for the meet due to being elsewhere when they were on at Glasto.

Ticket purchase followed The Hold Steady announcement, but ads in Q Daily were noted. Also update e-mail said kids sold out (no taking any, but an indication), then Stewarding full. I reckon ticket sales are going fine and EOTR will be a cracker, first time for me, but my friend is on number 3 and raves about it almost as much as I rave about Beautiful Days

[Heddwch]

I'm stewarding at this one and the last e-mail I received stated that they are expecting a sell-out this year.

I'd suggest that if you want to go buy a ticket soon or you may be disappointed.
