is it likely to sell out?

[henno32]

Can't afford a ticket at the moment, do you think it will sell out a few weeks before the festival starts?

[AcademicPistol]

I was going to ask you how long a piece of string is

[thetime]

Reading might but I cant really see leeds selling out aswel..They might if the weathers nice and sunny though.

[kaosmark2]

If you want to go, but can't afford to buy a ticket now, buy a ticket once you can afford to go?

[Gucci Piggy]

I think he's just wanting to know if it's likely to sell out before he can get the money for one, and whether he'll have to get the money together quickly haha

[Gucci Piggy]

I think that's what his asking

[Dashing Nathan 'Ed' Smith]

Use the 50% deposit scheme?

[muffinman]

someone said on this that over 70% of weekend tickets for Leeds and im guessing reading always sell faster. I think around the end of july they will sell out ( both R&L)

Last year it didn't sell out until the week before the festival I don't think, and I think that was only Reading.

It seems like going to R/L has been going out of fashion these past few years.

[muffinman]

I'd take that with a pinch of salt, they get their info from "event polls" that don't actually exist.

Haha. That's exactly what I did.

I've seen what I've seen, no point getting in argument over something I can't show you.

If nobody believes me, fine. If I posted a screen shot it would be blatantly obvious where I've got the info from and would get a friend in trouble.

I'll just make sure to stay out of this thread in future so I don't upset anyone xx

I was well before that, although it was very suspicious as they suddenly started claiming it was sold out and making a big push towards viagogo while smaller agencies like ticketline were still selling weekend tickets.

I think eventually they also claimed that Leeds sold out but that seemed more a case of "it's a couple of days before the festival so let's just stop selling tickets and say it's sold out".

[Mega Ross]

It'll sell out again, but only fake sell out. My money is on them striking a deal with viagogo so they can cash in on their ripoff tickets, anyone who knows about the "reseller" ticket scandal related to Viagogo in particular with FR will know what I mean.

I'd bet good money on that being the only reason they "sold out" last year, and the only reason they will "sell out" this year.

They need to get their arse in gear.

[thetime]

Don't know what you mean by them getting there stars in gear.

Hardly any fest sells out now, just the climate festivals are in.

[rug568]

I honestly don't know how they could have made this line up any better considering who's touring.

The only ones they missed out on for me were Miles Kane, Ben Howard and Refused.
