Don't think anything will come over the next week unless balance payments are incredibly low

I'm thinking that Glastonbury will be very chuffed if a similar number to normal pay up the balance without them announcing another act, and that perhaps they'll extend that announcement silence beyond the resale too - so they can clearly show that all the anti-Kanye noise was just meaningless bullshit.

I've no idea if that's what they want or plan to do, but if I was them that's what I'd be looking to do if I felt it was possible. As they probably get daily updates of people paying the balance and have data from other years, then they should be in a good position to know exactly what's going on and the best way to go with whatevr's happening.

Only fair that if we don't get a line up, the resale people don't either

what im slightly puzzled by is surely they WANT to have the balances paid asap, and they leave line up till after easter then they arent they less likely to get balances paid earlier?

if, using data from other years, this year's pay-ups is around the same, would making an announcement increase the pay-ups? Not necessarily.

Ultimately, all they really care about is that it's sold out in enoigh time before the gates open for them not to have financial worries. Everything else is supplementary to that.

    • They built a watering system and have been watering the island for the past few weeks to reduce dust, but given the current drought, there will still be dust. They will cover twice as much ground around the main stage with those plastic panels as they did before. They couldn't book Gogol Bordello because the singer was afraid the government would allow Russian security services to capture him if he entered the country. They didn't have much room to be selective about artists. They booked whoever they could get. This year's Sziget will be only about 50% of his original vision. He wanted a dedicated rock stage. They are preparing for a loss of 1.5 billion HUF this year. For some reason, student tickets are not selling in the numbers they had expected. He said that when he talks about the lineup being less important, he doesn't mean Sziget should have a weaker lineup than Primavera. Rather, it should have a similarly strong lineup combined with much more non-musical programming, so people from abroad come here to see the same artists but have a completely different overall experience. He didn't miss Sziget and originally wanted to spend no more than two days a week dealing with it, but now he's working on it full-time and has handed over control of the rest of his businesses.  
    • Well the point seems to be 22.7% turn out doesn't suggest the majority are rushing out to support the mayoral system.
    • I wonder if they had that vote again they'd vote differently, seeing how successful other mayors like Burnham have been?
    • Doesn't surprise me. West Yorkshire had a vote if they wanted a mayor in 2012 and voted no. The government then ignored the vote and announced the position anyway in 2016.
