Only £28!!!

My understanding/theory here is that they can claim that £28 of the ticket price is for the Programme, and you don't pay VAT on magazines/printed material.

If this is the case, it could save them c£600k on their VAT bill (based on very quick maths).

For my job, I need to know about VAT on printed matter, so would just like to clarify that you are correct in thinking you don't pay VAT on magazines, but you do pay VAT on some printed matter- the lanyards for example, would have VAT on.

Bloody hell I am boring sometimes!!! As you were!!!

I guess that is why the landyards are given out for free as a gift by the Guardian (as sponsors) and probably no costs to the festival. 

 

Are we really onto this after less than 2 weeks? What will we be talking about in 2 years!

I picked up one from a shitty camp next to ours on the way back from our bin drop.( Not literally shitty just abandoned and messy)

I'm after a few though cos my friend is making my wedding bouquet and buttonholes from them if any spare after the requests for spares are met. 

(Met future hubby at Glasto via efests so relevant nod to the festival)

Have you asked the festival, I wouldnt be suprised if they had loads left given the piles I saw still at Gate A when I left midday on Monday.

Have a great wedding day.

Is it a programme or free press you're after HMV? I've got two programmes, and a spare copy of one of last years free press if that's any good?

That's interesting ( it could also go in the conspiracy thread!) I wonder how the price is set? I guess there must be some sort of formula or rule or maximum? For example I'm sure they couldn't just say the programme cost £100 could they?

Oh the free press from last year would be totally awesome if no one else wants it. x

No one wanted it last year so it's all yours. It was Thursdays iirc! 

Brill. I'll pm ya later when I've got some juice. I'd make some people real twitchy if they saw a screenshot of my battery right now. Skating on thin ice.

Whilst leaving gate A last year there were still loads of boxes full of programs just sat there, some still on unopened pallets, if it wasn't Monday / I wasn't wrecked, I would have grabbed a box for eBay 

i grabbed one on the way out this year from a rubbish pile in oxylers 

my only memento from this year

Having a tidy-up and found a couple of sets of last year's programme and free press (Thursday & Sunday).

Happy to send to a new home for the price of a couple of quid to cover postage.

PM me if interested.

    • Rotten communication. Actually god awful. Posting sporadically on IG, closing Mordor only to reopen and cause some serious carnage. Left the festival as it got too much for my 16year old daughter. She was devastated about Alex G and Mac…but TV girl could have saved it. Took us until 1220 and already home to find out they might/are playing. Pish.    and on another note, this festival has lost its bastard soul. Gone are the wee tents with local sellers selling vinyl, t shirts etc, now you can buy a 50 f**king eur official T-shirt. The ar*e is truely out of this event now. I went to Porto for the first time last year and it was fab. I love Barcelona and the line up is always stacked, but this festival is a corporate loss take. Hopefully a better day tomorrow.
    • f**king horrendous and seems they couldn’t run an egg and spoon race.  zero info and the crush waiting to get in to see Massive Attack was potentially disasterous. Zero info, no stewards at all and was told that the whole evening was cancelled, when we got to the exit. Because it rained. First time attendee and i’ve got onsay, i’m far from impressed. Scalping bastard taxis asking €37 plus for an €11 fare too. Wonderdul.
    • Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better.
