jim king Q&A

[Kyelo]

yeah i defo agree with u bench ,, but it will be a riot of to get in you will have to line up for ages waiting to get in ...i dont care tho i aint missing this lol

p.s have i said ..im f**king excited lol

[Kyelo]

why don't you provide some reclycling bins at the festival?

[Discobadger]

Was it hard getting in for Orbital and Underworld?

[Kyelo]

not for the orbital or underworld....but come on it safe to say people have been waiting a long time to see leftfeild so yeah i can see it being a bit mental getting in if there headling ...look at daft punk i stood for about 40 minutes trying to get in ,,,so yeah i can see it being a bit hectic waiting to get in ...

[Discobadger]

Don't think it will be anything like Daft Punk tbh

My little cousin loves Daft Punk and he is 14 but so does my mum who is 41. My mum likes Leftfield but my cousin hasn't even heard of them, which is the difference. I asked my mates last night who liked leftfield and in a room of 8 people only 2 had heard of them(all early 20s).

There is a serious age divide on this one I reckon.

you got a cheap ticket, that's your reward!

i agree on the free programme though. i don't think it's right having to pay to find out what time the bands or on.

jim - maybe you could release the times before the festival so that people don't have to pay, then you can still sell the lanyards and programmes at the festival so people still have the option of buying one if they want.

An actual programme would be decent rather than just a lanyard. I'd happily pay a few quid for one.

Bestival give you both, think it was £8

I mentioned the rip off that is having to buy a lanyard or programme to Jim and he noted that whilst he understood this viewpoint they still needed to think comercially on this point as they obviously give a good return, which is fair enough i suppose and at least he was pretty up front about it. Personally i would prefer if they just put the cost onto your ticket price and gave you the times anyway, Belladrum do this yet still selll lanyards by the barrowload as a lot of folks like the part that goes round your neck to use at work or to keep as a souvinier so it definetly works both ways.

tbh its something that we can all moan about but i think we can all agree there are more important issues than lanyards

[zlatan07]

I think it's more the fact that people have to pay to get times for a gig they have already paid for which irks people.

[rexclark]

aye, you wouldn't buy a gig ticket if you didn't know when it was. i understand that the lanyards are a source of income for the festival, and if they didn't sell them it would mean bumping up the price of something else, but they could release the times online then still sell the lanyards, plenty of people would still buy them.

Jim, If you are out there???

A couple of things:

Are the security guards still going to be told to confiscate food and unopened soft drinks?

Is there going to be any effort to monitor children (under 18's) getting into the site without adult supervision?

Ps Keep up the good work with signing up the acts, but I am always a bit impatient can you share with us when we should hear the next announcement
