Everyone got an email, right? Another case of the supposed primacy of social media over the usual agreed channels. "Oh we didn't get a tweet!" So what.

I paid off 6 tickets. Only 2 of us got reminder emails about balance, and 4 got email to say balance was paid.

So unbelievably slack this year

I'm not needy enough to mind that contact from the festival has been limited this year.

Even without an email reminder I paid it off as soon as possible and spend every waking moment on this website reading about it.

If a few people have not paid their balance off for that reason it just means someone on this site who is desperate to go has more of a chance to get one which is fine by me!

The problem with releasing the lineup after the resale is that people still have time to return tickets if the lineup isnt to peoples fancy they will then have to do a whole new resale of the late returned tickets

Surely they want to know the figure of returned tickets and sell them all in resale?

this is a good point actually, and probably a good reason to think the lineup will come before the main resale. i'm sure they don't want a ridiculous amount of tickets being in the pot for the secret resales

the devastating florence and the machine announcement creeps ever closer.

Mike99 is truly the scum of the earth for getting my hopes up over stone roses. I will never ever forgive that low life.

It's not the despair, I can take the despair. It's the hope that destroys you.

edit gah got mike and matt mixed up!

I think people have been extremely patient and that deserves some kind of reward....

bizarre, cringey comment -- perhaps you could try picketing the festival office?
they could release the line-up on friday 26 june and it would still be a sell-out. i think that'd actually be hilarious if they did that.

    • I don't think a whole raft of attendees who've been going every year since the mid 90s and mid 10s collectively all thinking the festival is no longer for us suggests we've all aged out of it at the same time. Something fundamental has changed and its pretty obvious what that is. The fact that theyve managed to skinny down the line up so much AND STILL get punters in is a real credit to the bookers, filling it with enough of the current thing to get the kids excited for a weekend while pulling in enough big names to make it worth a day out for the casual Florence fan etc... is impresive. Re Leeds: Annecdotally, from videos, numbers have looked tiny vs Reading, esp on the camping end of things, it would be good to know the official numbers and how much they're down from the peak sell out years

    • I mean she's never going to admit it, but of course she would do a deal...same as Labour would with lib-dems/greens if meant getting into government.
    • They probably do make more from the festival. But take a look at an aerial photo from any year - there's always a few fields that would be viable for festival related use yet are left empty. I guess they just don't want to deal with the associated hassle.
