Pyramid Stage crowd control

[Dan R]

TiTP one is open at both ends. The exact same as the Glastonbury one going by the accounts on here.

[LondonTom]

No its not, theres gates with staff on at T, and they close them while a band is playing if its crowded. Not ideal as it means if you want to be near the front you have to get there an act before to get in sometimes, meaning subheadliners can get full of peopl just waiting, moreso than at other fests

[Wooderson]

how is it not 'ideal' to not let people near the front who turn up at the last minute?

[Ted Dansons Wig]

Its also not "ideal" that the festival isnt held in my back garden in Dublin. A real pisser actually.

[Yoghurt on a Stick]

Nothing stopping you setting up you're own festival matey. How many stages do you think your garden might take? Will Radiohead play?

[Ted Dansons Wig]

Daniel O'Donnell for the Legends slot?

[redmosquito]

Will alcohol be allowed in the arena?

[redmosquito]

You could called it Woodstock, Wooderstock, Glasterson or maybe something else entirely, it's your festival so you can call it what you want.

I for one would be willing to go to Dublin for Wooderson's festival as long as he can promise to get Dolly Parton as a headliner. He must also have a 'healing' area. Very important that. Oh, and one more thing - it must have long drops.

Are we talking about a secondary barrier? There has always been a front of stage barrier as long as I can remember?

We can bring this back up when all hell breaks loose during/after the Stones in the summer

At TITP 2010, the gate went a little crazy before Eminem went on stage, They closed the front area and people were going mental, A security guard got hit by bottles and likes, really nasty scenes.

But apart from that it seemed to work.

It sounds to me like Glastonbury is like Leeds in terms of its barrier, which I thought worked much better than TITP. At least it doesn't have the annoying T barrier that Sonisphere had.

At Roskilde they empty the pits between bands.
