Festival Sell Out.....

[rickyclark]

Will T in the Park tickets sell out straight away? I really want to go to Glasto again so I'm holding out for the resale which is in April, but I was wondering if they're will be any tickets left for T by then as its my second choice, gutted if I miss out on both, also is there any way of getting tickets if they do sell out or do they come like Glasto ones with your own details on?

thanks guys.

all the best

Ricky

Unlikely. I don't think it has sold out at all in the last couple of years. Will certainly still be available later on anyway. There's a name on the tickets I think, but that's about it. You'll have no problem using someone else's ticket.

[devilman]

Not a hope with that line up.

[xdliam]

Pwahaha T has no chance of selling out with that line up, they haven't done so for years. You'll easily be able to get a ticket late on but in the rare case that they do sell out then you'll be able to use someone elses no bother.

[PatsInThePark]

I don't think it will sell out straight away but I think it will come closer than it has done in recent years.

People on here don't seem to think it's an impressive line up but everyone elsewhere seems to have a different opinion. That is the joys about music I suppose.

[whitecarlos]

Not a chance of selling out unless they have something up their sleeve.

If the Oasis announcement at 9am tomorrow is T related maybe.

The Oasis news thing is a 20 year anniversary re-release of Definitely Maybe.

I haven't heard to be honest. I'd expect an announcement of a bulk load of smaller acts soon-ish though....

[frankblack]

Headliners are very weak apart from AM, but there is a better balance than the past couple of years.

However, most of my bands are on the Friday with little on the Sat + Sun.

I am tempted. A bit worried about a possible clash with Manics and Pixies on the Friday. However, will have seen both again in next few months.

T in the park is very much a dying breed. Its a shame really, It used to be so good but has been completely mismanaged and has alienated most of its original support for a more pop audience

it's always been pop for a pop audience, the only thing which has changed is the type of pop that's in fashion.

True to a point but there was balance and a bit of something for everyone before. Now there isn't. NIN, Janes Addiction, Airbourne, Rise Against, Wolfmother etc etc etc All bands that have never been "pop". If T want to stick all their eggs in the pop basket then they'll get smaller crowds. I have no issue with it and I'll go elsewhere but to say it was always thus is not true. There was something for everyone until 2012 when something changed.

No chance this will sell out

I would agree with Devilman. What made T brilliant was the balance it managed to maintain. There was always some pop (whatever that may have been at the time), always some rock, some dance, some indie, and a bit of heavier rock. 2012 saw a tip in the balance towards pop, with a gradual disappearance of some of the other genres.

[Gingo]

I would say there is much more of a spread this year in terms of rock and other non pop/dance especially compared to last year but there are a few bands around just now that they have definitely missed a trick in not booking

[Paul ™]

I don't think it will sell out, but that is probably more to do with people not got the spare cash rather than the acts booked.

Day tickets will sell well as always though, 15,000 per day isn't that many,

[thetime]

I would say TITP initial announcement has done very well in getting some of the older bands that the old timers are interested in.

You got acts like pixies, embrace, franz Ferdinand, James, manic street preachers, inspiral carpets and then all the newer acts.

It's certainly got me interested, will wait until kendal calling fest gets announced beforehand though.

[TheGaffer]

A couple of gems in the rough for sure, If they annouced the stage splits (Lucky to get day splits I know!) it could be decent but from previous years it may cut down what you want to see dramactically sadly.

Doubt it will sell out. Some big acts, but aside from Pharell (and his likely to be around a few places this year) is there really anyone who hasn't seen them that has wanted to??

[frankblack]

For me, Pixies Glasgow show sold out so quickly I couldn't get tickets, so they're a huge draw. The Kraftwerk of this year.

[Muppetmark]

Apparently pixies are headlining tutsw opposite biffy
