BST in Hyde Park 2014

[JonSnuh]

Also they weren't too tight on bringing things in. Our bag wasn't searched and no pat downs but there were for some people so could be worth the risk. No sniffer dogs for the person asking

Sorry to spam, but trying to shift 2 VIP tickets for the Libertines on Saturday below face value, thanks!

New stage added, what does this mean for the stage Times? The View are on the New one, does this mean the others will finish earlier now?

[Fezzy_buzzer]

Cheers for the info jonsnuh

[the wonderwhy]

2.50 for half and £5 for a pint. Was there earlier so can confirm

[Boris The Spider]

£5 a pint seems reasonable compared to the £5 I paid for a coke at the O2 arena tonight!

Can anyone recommended any of the smaller bands? Only familiar with a few x

[TheSilence]

This is a long shot but does anyone driving down to sabbath from the North West fancy giving me and a mate a lift down. Been let down massively for our bus.

EDIT:- matters not now we managed to get on the National Express from Liverpool :-) hope everyone enjoys the gig!

£5.50 for pint of Heineken

Not much in the way of over the top security.

Great gig, atmosphere, toilets, food, bars, all good except a little pricey for food/drinks. To be expected

[Marc Whiffen]

Is there an inner circle? We have priority entry tickets, but I am not turning at 12:00 to be stuck in there all day, if there is an inner circle I will turn up at 12 though to get a wrist band.

[jabba27]

There's a big VIP bit to the right of the stage. Not an inner circle though. Don't think it'll make a difference but I've heard they sold double the amount of tickets for that day.

Just so everyone knows, the barclaycard theatre stage is tiny - I tried to get in 5 minutes before Band Of Skulls yesterday and there was a massive queue and I was told that they'd reached capacity so no one else would be getting in. Disappointing, but was my own fault for leaving it late.

I'd recommend getting there at least 15 minutes before Wolfmother today if you want to see them. That said, it was so hot in that tent yesterday that I might just watch all of Soundgarden in the open air instead.

1. £5 pints (Bulmers cider is 4.50)

2. There were 'bag searches', but very poor- they just had a little peak in my bumbag, didnt make me take anything out or rifle through it. They let in my previously opened water bottle and didnt sniff it, so you could bring clear spirits i guess. No sniffer dogs. Some police presence outside but very little inside. You'll have 0 issues if you just balls your drugs, (or sandwich? :S )

3. The stages are very nice. Obviously main stage looks sw*nky with it's trees and HUGE screens, but also the Barclays Theatre- a lovely looking and sounding small venue, not too hot and theres a bar inside. You have to queue outside to get in.

4. The crowd is set out so as the entire left hand side is open to anyone. On the right there is 3 sections. You can get further forward based on your ticket price. Also, this may only be because Arcade Fire didnt sell as well as other ones, but I bourght a tshirt from the merch stall for my brother and they gave us two premium view wristbands free (worth about a tenner each). These give you access to the middle section on the right hand side.

5. Sound quality seemed MUCH better closer to the front. If you're fussed about the band, get forward!

6. Anyone travelling from Waterloo, Bond Street station is closed for the Jubilee line. Take the Bakerloo instead and change to Central at Oxford Circus instead.

Thats weird, we only moved forward after Jake Bugg so didnt notice that. Went to the left anyway as it looked less busy. Did they have barrier off sections infront of the viewing platform then?

The sound to the front was spot on, whilst I've heard it was pretty bad further back so I definitely second getting close

[RoadToAlbion]

Hey, is it advisable to start queuing up a few hours early? Is there a pit at the front that is restricted on a first come first serve basis?

Yeah I had a similar experience, got fairly close despite only going back to the main stage about 10 minutes before arcade fire.
