Is Tom Wells the dude who was going to give up his ticket to go and watch Kasabian in 2013?

I would say, if you do get a ticket but still want to do the Who gig, just go to the show, and then get the first train down on Saturday morning, you'll miss one day of the festival that way, just don't go mad at the gig.

I'm wondering whether to go for it in the coach sale as well, as much as it wouldn't be ideal I'd much rather know I have a ticket than waiting for the main resale a few days later and it all hinging on that.

First time since I've started going I've not got them in the first sale. Bricking it. :(

After the heart wrench of not being lucky in October I was thinking F**K IT! I'm through with trying and got myself a Download ticket, however the lure of the greatness has got me and even thought I can't get the time off work now I shall be trying in the resale :lol:

My advice is definitely go for the coach resale first. I did last year and in the main sale for this year and it was SO much easier. Plus if you're unlucky you get a second crack at the whip as it were.

Another advantage for me is that the coach sale tends to be a weekday evening so I can hang around and use the work Internet as opposed to my shiny wifi on a Sunday morning. Although in October my local library saved the day.

I'm used to getting a shuttle from Bath and West so coach wasn't much more hassle for me. Getting to he O2 was the only bad bit.

Think I may be getting dropped off at Bast and West this year. How long does it take at around 10 am? Plus how many fit in the shuttle? Theres 15 of us so with all our gear on top im expecting to be split up on the buses.

I did this in 2014. I was so frightened of not getting a ticket I thought I would have double the chance of getting some. I got 3 coach tickets withing 3 minutes of the sale opening, and on Tday, got 27 more. I was gutted as I then had to go by coach, but ecstatic as I was going either way! Edited by Curlygirl

Is that where the London coaches go from?

    • On the whole then,yay or nay...I've had a look on festivals united and there's people who seem converted by Rock Im Park, I can imagine it might be different if it was a washout as RaR is tarmac.   The hotel side would be more to convince the non campers if it's an option. On my first visit to rock am ring we were shuttled into the area where you could stick the car next to the tent which was fantastic as it meant zero lugging of camping gear.
    • An interesting thing this. Having seem them several times (some of their gigs veer into back catalogue niche territoty), I partly agree they arent Pyramid material (theough modern defeinition of 'bangers' although I could see them headlinging the Other stage) I can't think of another festival in the world that they couldn't headline - Reading, IoW, BST, Rock Wercheter, Roskilde, etc etc.
    • Ohhh it’s very, very good. 
    • I'm sure you like silly music too but is it because it's not a Download traditional type act it gets looked down on? Rock am Ring booked them, and they sell every year so don't actually need to   Andy going and being replaced is the best thing that could have happened to Download, someone fresh to mix it up a bit rather than just a complete rotation. The only reason Andy booked ST in ti headline too was because he loves them and he was going on to manage them. Nah, Andy booked FOB in a year where over 20 acts were asked, I'll guarantee if they get Blink and having had Green Day they did not need 20 bands to come to those. FOB are also not one that have been booked in Europe to headline by anyone other than Reading as co-headliner as far as I can see. They weren't a ooh god yes they've booked FOB.
    • Would love to see them headline as well, but agree with Mr Bailey ☹️
