Ticket Sales

[lharris92]

tbh i've given up on winning tickets which is probably best as i couldn't afford supplies for the weekend.

Very annoying, won a ticket off Ebay for £60 but the dude is now refusing to sell it.

Eh, not too fussed looks I won't being going as the only band I was fussed about was Rammstein.

Ticket sales must have gone very well as 55,000 attended and it was a hell of a lot busier than last year, I think they will need to make the site much bigger if they want to sell 60,000 tickets for next year.

According to the Sonisphere Facebook, the event sold out. It was quite busy but nothing compared to what it's like at Glasto or Reading!

Nice of them to slap a weekend ticket on my mates wrist when he had a day ticket!

no way jose did it sell out. they are just saying that so people next year will be like 'oooh this festival is now a fest that sells out so perhaps should buy a ticket early instead of risking it and leaving it last minute'....its just tactics and propaganda!!

I'd say there was 50,000 on site on Sunday - but that clearly was a lot more than the other two days.

[kipper64]

So it did sell way more tickets this year. Looks like I was right again

55,000 is fairly impressive for it's 2nd year running. Okay so when they sold out, it isn't completely sold out - Download say the same thing for example. But when they are pretty much at capacity and tbh it definitely seemed that way, then it is essentially sold out give or take maybe a few 100 or 1000 tickets. Anyways, the capacity isn't going to increase, apparently they want to keep the numbers the same (for the time being anyways). Which I think is for the best, the site was busy enough this year and I don't think I'd like it to be much busier.

I got a free ticket cause my mates band were playing. They ended up getting double the ammountofticket allocation than a band at that size was meant to.

I can only assume it was still struggling a bit to shift tickets to what level they wanted.

Had a good weekend tho.

[ampersand]

it's a good fest but there's no way i'd pay the going rate for one. picked up one on friday morning for £68 on ebay so was quite chuffed. got there and back from scotland for the same price as most paid face value.

definitely going to work it next year with festaff if they'll have me and the line up is good for me.

I think with day tickets for the Sunday maybe they did sell out the Sunday, but to be honest seeing how many more people were there on the Sunday compared to the previous days, no way did it completely sell out!

I do think it's a nice size event though so they shouldn't even consider increasing the capacity.

hi , quick question, how long do you reckon til the tickets will sell out this year. want to go for the first time this year and have some saving to do. do you think it would be alrighy to leave buying them till april/may time.

[r0w]

yeah no prob.....i doubt it will sell out, youl be fine

[allan14]

cheers

[jordanuk90]

Ohhh I was about to post this... Saved me effort

[Guitargeek4]

Are they selling day tickets this year? I checked the See tickets site and couldn't find any. I went for a day 2009, and I wanna go see the big four this year.

[r0w]

most likely....if they havnt sold out a couple of months before the fest starts they will release some day tickets. always happens!

[kipper64]

It did sell out last year - but not until the day so you should be okay.

That being said, ticket sales are meant to be a lot better this year and day tickets aren't looking likely. Reason being Sonisphere has a camping and arena capacity that is equal, so if they sell day tickets, that takes away a ticket from a weekend goer which is a bit unfair. If weekend camping doesn;t sell out by May I imagine they might put some day tickets out but these'll be very limited and difficult to get, so if you really want to go I'd just get a weekend one. What's the fun in only going to a festival for a day?

if the rest of the line up is shite and i want to see what will probably be Weezer's only UK date this year?

[Stalemate]

I plan on getting tickets end of Feb.

[Matticus]

You've decided 'the rest of the line up is shite', when most of it hasn't been announced? Nice one! Wait and see, but most people if they like Metallica for example will probably like a host of bands over the weekend....Weezer are a bit of a curve ball though I suppose. However I guess it's up to you to ask yourself is Weezer alone worth going for? All I'm saying is Day tickets might not be on sale, and if they are they'll be really limited, so don't expect them.

Arrrghhh! 4 day weekend tickets appear to be sold out on see tickets! I have already paid for the deposit, I feel like I have been conned! Looks like 4 days tickets are still available elsewhere? What the hell is going on??
