Does Download do 'Day only' tickets?

I thought it was the case that they only release day tickets if weekend tickets don't sell out by a certain date, and that if they could sell out with weekend tickets then they would and wouldn't bother with day tickets? Or is that Soni?

They always end up selling Day tickets and will continue to, their licsence is that they can have more people in the arena than in camping by far, so its only weekend only tickets that affect day tickets going on sale not camping, so camping could sell out on day one but they would still be able to do day tickets easily, they just push for weekend only tickets which is stupid really as they make more from day tickets than they do weekend only.

Think they will go onsale earlier this year as theres no weak headliner, as in 2010 they went on sale early too. But they ARE pushing the deposit scheme and if you have a weekend ticket I guess you're going to spend more money on site than if you just come for a day, guess theres some business logic in there as well from their part.

Hi

I'm also thinking to buy a one day ticket to the second day 15/6

(Iron Maiden,AIC,Mastodon)

when do you think there will be one day ticket?

maybe it is possible to buy one full ticket for all 3 days and share it with other people 1 or 2 so everyone will go only to day he want

if someone want to do so or knows someone else who might want contact me

there should be a pinned FAQ in this forum, this question comes up every year (at least 2-3 times)

yes they usually do, and they are usually about £80+, they normally go on sale by about easter - but sometimes earlier if weekend ticket sales are slow, and later if weekend sales are good. and no - you arent allowed to camp onsite with a day ticket.

I assume there wouldn't be an option to buy a ticket for just Saturday and Sunday? I can't get out of work on the Friday and I'm keen to see QOTSA and Rammstein, and I'm trying to avoid buying a weekend ticket or two day tickets...

that was exactly my thinking. I was well up for R+ but when I saw the undercard I thought "fuck that", couple that with my desire to not take any time off of work, and the aforementioned bands all on the main stage in pretty much a straight run made my mind up for me. I'm also not even gonna make my decision until I know what the weather is gonna be like. I've got a few mates who are going, and they can pick me up a day ticket from the box office based upon the weather, or get one off of a tout. We have had the last 3 downloads fucked up by the weather, I cant be arsed with another one.

Slight change of subject...

We're driving up on the Saturday...is there a time that the car park opens Sat morning or simply open from Wednesday, turn up when you like?

Ta.

    • Rotten communication. Actually god awful. Posting sporadically on IG, closing Mordor only to reopen and cause some serious carnage. Left the festival as it got too much for my 16year old daughter. She was devastated about Alex G and Mac…but TV girl could have saved it. Took us until 1220 and already home to find out they might/are playing. Pish.    and on another note, this festival has lost its bastard soul. Gone are the wee tents with local sellers selling vinyl, t shirts etc, now you can buy a 50 f**king eur official T-shirt. The ar*e is truely out of this event now. I went to Porto for the first time last year and it was fab. I love Barcelona and the line up is always stacked, but this festival is a corporate loss take. Hopefully a better day tomorrow.
    • f**king horrendous and seems they couldn’t run an egg and spoon race.  zero info and the crush waiting to get in to see Massive Attack was potentially disasterous. Zero info, no stewards at all and was told that the whole evening was cancelled, when we got to the exit. Because it rained. First time attendee and i’ve got onsay, i’m far from impressed. Scalping bastard taxis asking €37 plus for an €11 fare too. Wonderdul.
    • Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better.
