We were so close to buying day ticket yesterday. Good job we didn't as now there is 2-for-1 this Friday to Monday...

Must be bad.

Where have you heard about 2 for 1?? Is that confirmed?

[watsonjm]

They've been doing it on and off for a few months.

Well I kind of want to wait until it's closer, but don't think I'll get them cheaper. Then I forget it's actually two weeks away.

Cant see this happening.  They haven't sold out the last 3/4 years and haven't gone that far,

[NickisGinger]

They've sold out on yellow camp in Hylands..

Which is the smaller of the two Hylands campsites if memory serves?  Not really much to write home about. 

 

[watsonjm]

@eFestivals I've some rumors locally that Virgin have been looking at the SGP site for a potential new festival/V replacement, have you heard anything? 

[LucyJR]

Anyone noticed that bags over a4 size aren't permitted in the arena?  Given it's so specific then I would imagine they are going to have a size template or something.  Finding one that small will be very difficult.

I've not heard anything apart from there being a plan for something new on the SGP site. I'm guessing it's not going to be an event controlled by an 'outsider' tho, as SGP has been one of the few festivals where the festival organiser owns the land the festival is on.

Just had a look at this years map compared to last year and Yellow camping is tiny!

 Cant find times anywhere?

 

Never mind, found on the website, i was looking at the app which hasn't updated yet.

Interesting they've lost a potential income stream doing that; it's been a long time since they have given them out free

i thought this. Still nothing on the app though and clash finder hasn't been updated.

 

[Rose-Colored Boy]

On the app for me now. Presume 'Supervene Stage' is a typo, unless they've got new sponsors who don't exist on Google.

[Rose-Colored Boy]

The Weston clashfinder is now good to go >>> https:///s/vfestivalweston2017/ <<< typos all over the shop on the app listings but I think I've got it right.

[watsonjm]

Great work.    

Not sure on supervene as its all over the website as well. 

[LucyJR]

Supervene seems to be real according to the map.  I hope it's not too much to do with the dictionary definition...

Ha hadn't noticed that.  Maybe a clue that the end is nigh? 

[watsonjm]

Has anyone heard anything about silent disco this year?  Cant remember seeing it mentioned anywhere?
