Thanks, appreciate your help. How likely is it do you think we are going to get a live in vehicle ticket if we only found out today about the tickets being cancelled? My friends had a nightmare haha

The sooner you get on the phone the better

I'm assuming your friend is Battigirl? She's sounding quite desperate!

Hi all, not being a 'live-in' fielder I don't note the live-in prices. There's 1 on FAB at the mo on Kendal Callings page at £200. Is this ott? And if so why are the organisers (seemingly!) not doing anything about this? Surely the live-in ticket is the easiest to prevent touting on as they could just require a registration number at purchase.

About £90 plus fees usually so they doubling their money which is normal with folk selling for profit 

touting is what it is ! I'm sure when folk have there tickets in hand come June or July there will be far worse examples on Facebook

Yep sure there will be worse examples but if Kendal wants to set it aside as a 'better' standard of festival (which would clearly help in its annual persuit of awards/recognition etc) then attempting to create a stand against  these lowlifes would be a great help and as mentioned this should be the easiest one to tackle

Until all festivals get a ticketing system like Glastonbury you're always going to get people selling on at a profit.

Putting a car registration number onto live in vehicle tickets won't work for the simple reason as some ticket purchasers won't know their registration number until they collect their hire vehicle (or a caravan owner changes their vehicle after purchasing a ticket).

With all the will in the world, policing an 'open' ticketing system is near on impossible.

I paid £150 for vehicle ticket last week from a fella on facebook. I know it's a lot dearer but desperately needed one so had to pay it.

Can anyone recommend a decent trolley/cart/wheelbarrow for lugging your stuff around when setting up camp?

 

We've been using something similar to this for years

But frankly there not cut out for the task.

 

Any suggestions for a new one!?

Have a look at a fishing tackle trolley/barrow...they're purpose built for using on rough terrain and usually have tyres & wheels that can handle muddy areas.

Wherever possible get one with pneumatic rubber tyres, try and avoid solid/plastic tyres.

Remember, you buy cheap, you pay twice! Get the best you can afford, don't go cheap!

Something like this...

Good advice here on avoiding the plastic tyres.

Got one a couple of years ago that looked like this but had plastic tyres that cracked and then broke after 2 festivals.

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early.

    • Another Kraftwerk one for me today, as just back from seeing them.    
    • Completed my 2026 survey. Put down Super Furry Animals as my most wanted for next year but suspect the moment has gone for that. Popped a big shopping list in the box for who else you would like to see. 🙂
