actually sold out

[JamesMorgan]

f**kf**kf**k.

[Mardy]

Me too. I was totally confident that the tickets would be on sale for months before they sold out. Couldn't have been more wrong. I'm an idiot and apologise profusely to anyone that listened to my ill-informed, lazy drivel about why it makes more sense to buy your tickets after the rush.

[Storm_NL]

Yeah, me too

I'm aware that the festival takes enormous numbers of people to run, but I remain unconvinced that it reaches these kinds of numbers.

[marktea]

I don't think anybody could have anticipated the feeding frenzy of this year's early sale.

I think there might be a large number of cancellations though.

Just got a feeling.

[hope]

Cant remember the exact figure but wasn't it said a while ago that the BBC usually take an army of techies and presenters with them?

From California and Nebraska (Omaha) respectively.

cool! is it your first time?

[biigsybmx]

Yessir.

We're both pretty hardcore festival geeks over here tho.

We're big Coachella dorks.

And me personally, this will be my first time across the Atlantic too.

Very much looking forward to this.

Been researching all summer and I cant tell you how many times Ive watched the 2006 documentary.

escellent! you are going to have the best time of your life! 100% guaranteed!

Thanks!

Cannot express our excitement.

In fact, there's a bunch of Coachella people that got thru and got deposits down this year, so hopefully this will be a bit of a group excursion.

It will be an interesting contrast between the sweltering desert and the rainy green fields.

as long as it doesnt turn into the monsoon of 2005...that was horrendous!

[JaguarSkills]

Had problems with my registration number for hours, then realised I had written two numbers in the wrong order, then bought my mum's, sister's, and own tickets with little problem...

Sadly my girlfriend's parents failed to give her the money she needed for the ticket (It was meant to be her birthday present), and I couldn't afford her deposit by about £3, mainly due to buying her ticket for 2009... Hadn't been worried about getting a ticket tomorrow in the slightest. Nowhere near as happy as I should be about my confirmation email having arrived a couple of hours ago

nice!! i take it you'll be buying camping gear here? cant see it worth flying with it

[llcoolphil]

I believe so.

I was looking in to Tangerine Fields but they arent sure if they are doing Glasto yet.

I would love if there was some other set up like that. Otherwise just gotta get something when we get out there. I wonder if it would be a good idea to buy a pair of Wellingtons in advance too. Hmm.
