henno32 Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 Can't afford a ticket at the moment, do you think it will sell out a few weeks before the festival starts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gucci Piggy Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muffinman Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 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) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VCK Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muffinman Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 I'd take that with a pinch of salt, they get their info from "event polls" that don't actually exist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justiceforcedave Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ar1 Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 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 Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 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 Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rug568 Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
