6daviesdr Posted August 17, 2016 Report Share Posted August 17, 2016 i've gone for the weekend and used the red entrance every year, but as this year is absolute gash I'm just going for the Saturday. Judging by the map i need to go in the green entrance for day tickets, can you get dropped off there or do i need to walk all the way round from red? Side note, saturday pit stage is still 2 bands down from being full. Thoughts on that? Mastodon finishing before chili's start? double hushhush set from skindred/parkway? Big spring have said they are opening and AFATK there's no one else to be added to that stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rfc_478 Posted August 17, 2016 Report Share Posted August 17, 2016 Green entrance is by the river, you have to walk round there. Best best is to get dropped off near the Crown Plaza hotel on Richfield Avenue, walk up to the river from there then along the footpath to the Green entrance. Will take around 10 mins, and it's pretty close to the arena once you're in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah there can't really be more main stage additions. I agree there'll likely be someone pulling double duty - probably Skindred being favourites at R+L - or perhaps someone not on the bill but I don't think they'd run the risk of having someone like YMAS in that tent.

Mash011 Posted August 17, 2016 Report Share Posted August 17, 2016 If Mastodon play earlier and we end up with a Gizzard/Dillinger clash I'll snap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andre91 Posted August 17, 2016 Report Share Posted August 17, 2016 I'm hoping to god that Creeper and Frank Carter don't clash. I really don't know who I would choose. The same for Parkway Drive and Milk Teeth, although if push came to shove I would go with Parkway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewSmith Posted August 17, 2016 Report Share Posted August 17, 2016 Got a feeling the Frank Carter set is going to be one of my highlights of the weekend. The band seem so up for this on social media ever since he leaked the 2nd announcement! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As weekend goers, but non campers, we always use the green entrance, it's a much nicer walk, seems like it's not quit as far and never has queues (at least for w/e tickets) as others say get dropped off at or near the caver sham bridge/ crowne plaza Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I'd say Parkway over Milk Teeth. Saw Milk Teeth at 2000trees this year and the last and they were good but nothing special both time and even thought I've not seen Parkway live I've heard that they're incredible.

dentalplan Posted August 18, 2016 Report Share Posted August 18, 2016 You keep calling it "the secret set" but the fest hasn't teased one in any way, and the last two years Melvin has talked it up publicly by now. Besides, considering the festival has had its best sales since 2010 or something, they have no real reason to offer the mystery box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GodlikeYeezus Posted August 19, 2016 Report Share Posted August 19, 2016 (edited) I have never previously used Gumtree however I am looking to purchase Reading + Leeds tickets this year off the site. https://www.gumtree.com/p/music-festival-tickets/leeds-full-weekend-camping-tickets-/1183290809 Thats the source I have reserved tickets with. The guy is apparently an agent which I know of Leeds Fest selling high quantities of tickets to agents because it never sells out but I am wondering if you guys would trust the source. 4+ Year member etc. If i'm missing something which gives the fraud away let me know, don't want to be naive and end up being shafted.
