I shall apologise for saying it's easy but glad you were successful. I'm stress free as wasn't bothered about early tiers. My only stress is convincing Miss Mashedonmud that we need to go again. I'll ply her with wine, hopefully enough to use her debit card too. 

Stressful only due to being blindsided by the number of options and then a comedy of WhatsApp chat errors.... I hope wine plying is successful!

Seems like their tickets are selling better this year than last even without it being a fallow year.

It's an amazing place, gonna get more and more popular.

It get's you Wednesday entry, if you have a Wednesday coach.

If you have selected a coach journey on Thursday, you can probably contact them to change it. 

Yeh, I managed to change coaches with the ticket sellers easy enough before for shambala - plus there were so many coach options, I'm sure there will be some ability to switch it up

She just called to tell me to get the tickets, no wine needed. Damn I love that woman.

Yay we managed tier 1 too. I'm slightly over my glasto disappointment now. 6 of us heading over from ireland, all of us Boomtown virgins ?

[Tommy101]

is it showing on everyones ticketsellers account? Mine isn't and after the logging in debacle I'm concerned.

[Henrik]

Nope, mine is not showing on ticket sellers account either.

I need to check what coach times I booked. I assume we can check it there when it's working?

Received my email. 

[Tommy101]

Well done all  

Only around 10 months to go!

I wasn't expecting all the questions about music choices etc.

I went for House & Techno. And Disco, Soul & Funk. And the band I'd like to see is Molotov Jukebox (I'm know they've probably played BT loads before but I still haven't seen them).

What did everyone else pick?

Metal first then drum and bass/jungle

I'd like to see Nine Inch Nails or Roni Size

No. It matches against the name on your ticket

They operate a Challenge 25. So if you look under then they want your ID as proof of age, also to check name against ticket. 

Bit closer to festival Boomtown do a deal of £5 off a Citizen Card. Normally £15.

Missed the tier 1 from confusion of only being able to add 1 to the basket. Tier 2 in the bag despite my wifi dropping out during the sale, then my card getting declined! Between me and my mates 1x T1 ticket, 8x T2 tickets. 

Public transport ones definitely took longer to go. I was expecting worse but that felt like a breeze !

See you at Sector 6 efesters.

20,000 tickets sold in 2 hours!

That compares to 15,500 tickets sold on the first night last year

The capacity hasnt increased has it? It never felt too busy last year. Thar was something I enjoyed. Always room. Only limp Bizkit felt pretty packed. Otherwise I always had room to dance / wobble.

That extra £1m coming in early doors must make booking headliners a bit easier

Checked your junk? 

They did say if you've not received an e-mail by now then to get in touch. Might be worth doing.
