Aye the excitement is really kicking in now. Just need those set times released so we can finally see those clashes.

Yes! Can't wait to watch a close friend get gaffa taped to a chair and get my tent pelted by semi-rotten tangerines on Sunday afternoon!

I wouldn't worry, they normally do it over a few batches.

I'm travelling from abroad for Reading and just got an email saying ticket collection box offices in Reading Centre close at 8pm. I arrive at 8pm in London so not sure what I'm gna do. Anyone has any ideas please?

I'm good mates with the guys in The Wired, went to secondary with one of them and sixth form with the rest. Great guys. Would recommend them if you like stuff like Catfish and Courteeners.

I'm only going to Reading on the Friday, is wellys necessary? (If weather is fine?) As I went last year on the Saturday only and the only place I needed wellys was walking in to the arena after the day entry gate.

The fashion of wearing wellies whatever the weather at festivals is a relatively new thing!

In 19 Readings, so 57 days (of actual open arena) in total, I think I've worn wellies maybe 6-7 days at most  

Theyre really not necessary unless there's been a lot of heavy rain, esp as a day tripper as opposed to camper. 

That said, don't wear your best shoes!

That nearly sounded like 'THE HUNNA' facebook ad I keep getting.

Fan of Catfish? You'll love The Hunna!

Fan of Miley Cyrus? You'll love The Hunna!

 

I'll check The Wired out

I haven't got my tickets yet and I'm going away on Monday to see family and not coming home until after the festival. What happens if I don't get my tickets before then - is there somewhere to collect on site or do I have to go all the way home

Probably best to contact your point of sale. See if they can arrange for your delivered to tickets to be cancelled and to instead collect them at the festival. I've done this when I've forgotten gig tickets before and they've arranged for a new set to be available for collection with ID. The earlier you do this the better as they can take time to respond. Try all channels (email, phone, twitter etc.)

Thanks, will do! Does anyone on here have a site map for Reading by the way? And one other thing does anyone find it odd that the stage times haven't come out? I use clashfinder and stuff but I'm sure last year the main stage was announced a few weeks prior to the festival.

They usually start rolling out the times from about Sunday/Monday before the festival starting with the Main Stage

I feel like there's an ex-Mars Volta member in every supergroup and most normal groups.

I miss the days of putting this in predictions thinking it was an actual band.

[dentalplan]

Surprised it isn't one yet. They got tons of exposure.

Looks unlikely as the on site supermarket is there.
