Well, for the past few years she's looked at the line-up and the first thing she says to me is, "oh the line-up's shit this year, isn't it?"

And I sort of explain to her that it isn't.

Her next response is, "well, I don't like how you have to register to get a ticket - you have to sign up and show you're not a terrorist to get in"

So I explain to her that it's to stop touting, and to stop people on eBay charging even more for tickets than their original price on a site like eBay. It's a good idea.

She then followed my response by saying, "yeah, I know but they started it the year they started putting on shit music"

In others words, she can't really justify her opinions and she's going along with the popular vote - it's like how it's trendy to criticise Michael McIntyre (fairly, in my opinion); she does this too but can't really justify why he's so shit because she hasn't heard anybody else's opinions on WHY he is so shit.

I'm having a domestic on here by myself, aren't I?

The only reason I chose Leeds over Glastonbury was because she had reservations about Glastonbury and had been speaking about going to Leeds for ages, so I decided to get her tickets for her birthday. Her first choice was Oxegen but when I worked out the logistics of the thing, it was just a bit impossible for this year for both of us. So Leeds it was (after coming here and asking).

If it was up to me, I'd be going to the Supersonic Festival and ATP this year but I don't think she'd enjoy seeing Swans or Teenage Fanclub as a birthday present.

      Sadly, the ticket map below screams rear 5 blocks not on sale or never have been on sale. Especially when you look at the blue blocks with rows of unsold tickets.   And I say all of this as a big fan of Muse.

      Ticket tips and Tricks 2027

      By parsonjack · Posted

      Personally, I don't think there will be any changes to the queuing system in place for the 2025 sale.  GFL will be aware that true bots are a risk, but they may also see large collectives of organised folks running multiple devices, containers or profiles to get an advantage as bots themselves, and then struggle to know where to draw the line without penalising folks who are simply more on the ball than others.   They will also be acutely aware that engineering tech to close those gaps will cost, and therefore eat into the money they are able to pass to the Charities, without passing those costs on to punters in the ticket price, which they will be cautious of doing especially after a 2 year break and the inevitable media coverage that will get.   This may all be naive and overly trusting of me though.....

      I got mine yesterday but they sent the wrong ticket link, so had to email Ticketmaster and get the right one.    As for predictions, hard to see who else could do the Pulp/Sting/Byrne slot other than the Cure, and since they did Isle of Wight they maybe have an FR deal (Sting did both). It’s also the Cure’s 50th next year so imagine they’ll be doing a bigger tour. Pet Shop Boys or Kylie maybe?   Wolf Alice would be a dream. It’ll probably all be men again though.
