Still no sign of who the TBC is on the Key Club stage.

Assuming it's just going to be a smaller band.

 

It's mad that Cruel Hand are opening that stage, and also means i'm going to have to try and get in by 11.30, which I don't think will happen in a month of Sunday's.

For anyone that went last year, what were the queues like getting in to the festival?

Leeds queues are normally pretty bad. Never waited for my wristband since theyve started giving them out at the pre-party, so can't speak for that as last time I needed that on the day was 2013 I think. Good 45 min wait once you have it if you get there for gate opening time. You're best getting wristbands before the day if they do that again, cuts it down to 1 queue rather than 2.

Just came across 2 x tickets for the strokes day on twickets, noticed a few interested in some yesterday. VIP tickets tho so not sure what price’s you wanted to pay

So if the perceived lack of sales is true what would the reasons be? Is it actually about as well sold as last year or has Glastonbury being on made a difference? The latter must be responsible for taking some of the punters, particularly the Christine day.

The line-up at a guess. The Strokes day is the only day with an excellent undercard and it's the only day that has sold out.

Nick Cave was the only day to sell out last year.

There were loads of competitions flying around for the other days.

I attended 4 of the days last year and LCD and Bjork were VERY quiet.   The XX and The National both seemed busy although not sold out.

It's such a competitive market for these inner city festivals in London - there are LOADS of them and it was always going to be difficult for a new brand to establish itself.   

They appear to have lost sight of any kind of target audience this year and just booked whoever is available (understandable).

If it's as well run as last year though, word of mouth should help them in future years.

I went on The National day last year and like you say it seemed busy, nothing for organisers to be embarrassed about by any means.

I'm still planning to go 2 days this year based on the organisation as well as (obviously) the line ups.

Do you think they lost site of the target audience? Besides maybe Mumfords the days seem as well catered as last year to me.

Wow, well done! Where are all these competitions!?

[jump]

I'm surprised they haven't offered Efestivals any comp tixs for the site since there's so many about.

You've got more free tickets than I've got friends I'd even take with that many.

The only problem with 2 for 1s is that there’s only one of me! If anyone sees any cheapies for Bon Iver day about give us a shout please!

I don’t reckon the undercard deserves any criticism - pretty strong across the board for the demo of each headliner imo. The headliners themselves have either not been hard to see recently or just aren’t big enough, aside from The Strokes of course, so I think that’s the main problem.

Where are they all coming from!?

[grayfitz]

I managed to get my second pair of tickets for Christine earlier today through a competition. Entered a load a couple weeks ago and only really hearing back now.

[FakeEmpire]

Yeah, I've just won a 6th ticket for Christine & the Queens as well!

[wonker]

Welllll, if anyone has a couple going spare, I would be very grateful

If anyone could alert me to these Christine comps / really cheapies due to having loads, I'd be eternally grateful. Looking for a great end of exams treat lol
