Headliners 2015

[mjsell]

Gonna go out on a limb and guess that the large number of us relying on the resale care.

How many / what percentage of the total tickets on average go back on the resale? Do they release this info?

no

[Purple aki squat]

Fair play wasn't aware when he joined, one league cup winners medal definitely qualifies you as a legend then, glad the bar has been set so high!

Maybe we should bring Anderson back over from Brazil he does a spot of djing if his Instagram is anything to go by, he's got more winners medals then most the Liverpool squad put together

That's low.

Don't make me go off mancs, I was getting excited by the Roses Rumour.

Bebe come back.

[djcolsen]

Why, because Taylor's day at Hyde Park is sold out?

Yes partly... But mainly Because it's a rediculous notion, reckons she would buy one off a tout and go to that instead, I told her it would be a rubbish idea....but then I don't understand, I was totally unaware she was so big, I thought she was mid afternoon slot at best, shows what I know

[Wooderson]

Maybe get Ryan Giggs onstage to sing family affair.

LOL

[A Guy Called Matt]

Mate what I meant was that Neil probably didn't even know the announcement was coming, since he said how he didn't think it was Kanye just before and then the site wasn't updated till much later.

Hilarity - Matt42 telling me I missed the point.

LMAO

Kettle black pot calling

[Harmonic Prospector]

Do people believe there will be a lot of ticket returns based on the headliners? personally couldn't give a monkeys who headlines in my four years I've watched two headliners so my ratio isn't great, however the only recent year that's had low ticket sales was the jay z year, could this year be the same or has it moved on a lot since then?

I know this has been spoken about a hell of a lot on this forum where blame for 2008 not selling out has been laid at the door of the Jay Z booking. But, I have always thought that probably the biggest reason for 2008 not selling out, which I don't think has ever been mentioned, is the fact that the global financial crisis had just taken hold and people were being far more cautious with their money. Spending £200 for a festival at a time when our High Streets were deserted due to lack of available credit and a tightening of purse strings across the board would have been seen by many at the time as an extravagance at such an uncertain time. I would say it most certainly contributed to it rather than blaming a booking of 1 artist.

And the weather in 2007 was shit.. may have played a part

Fair shout

[The Nal]

I think thats the main reason. 04 was tough at times. Sunday was awful. 05 was obviously a mess and 07 was just horrid. Basically didn't stop raining.

3 Glastos like that in a row will make anybody think twice.

[neil999]

its amazing what a triumph 2008 was really after all the issues, jay z certainly got them alot of press at least

I was working my notice of redundancy when I went for the first time in 08 after a US lending institute unceremoniously dumped its UK arm.

thankfully this time around it's not going to be creating Michael a huge worry over tickets, as 2008 was back when they still sold all of the t5ickets in April. I'd hate him to go thru that again, it was clearly a big stress on him.

There might be some who return tickets because of Kanye (tho I doubt the numbers will be huge), and they'll soon be snapped up.

And then the headliners in 09 and the weather in 2010 sealed the deal.

yep..the bandwagon is gonna roll on for years yet, i wonder if/when it will struggle to sell out again?

poor chap, he did a good job of hiding it..remeber an interview before it had sold out and he was saying there 'were only a few left'

[found home in 2009]

weather in 2010 probably looked idyllic on tv but I found it unpleasant at times. Was too warm for me.

[JoeyT]

2010 was very hot but would much rather take that than have any rain.

[morph100]

so who are our top guesses for Pop, Indie, Dance or any other genre for the Sunday?

Pop - Taylor Swift, Madonna

Indie - Blur, Stone Roses

Dance - Daft Punk, Prodigy

Personally, i'm thinking Taylor Swift is most likely, although it means no British headliner but they will be plenty of Brits high up on the bill to compensate.

[andyhh]

2010 was ideal, even if you had to be out of your tent by 8am due to heat, would love another year like that!

[morph100]

Yeah the hot weather can get a bit much at times but at least you can sit down anywhere and run around without slipping over (much)

[Space Shanty]

And the weather in 2007 was shit.. may have played a part

It was verging on the apocalypse.

I didn't think it would be possible to be so miserable at Glasto.

Journey out of the place on Monday was the stuff of nightmares

[matt2007]

2010 - sunburn and on the same day my son 7yo met Prince Charles, lost a tooth and was filmed by Banksy.

Great year

[Untz]

Nah, the best weather would be 2010 but about 4 degrees cooler or so. There were people sheltering in the shade of bins it was so unbearable at times.

[The Placid Casual]

2010 - sunburn

Had no idea Muse put that in their set. Jealous now.
