Ah-ha! cool! A nice 15 minute chill period....I'm not used to this kind of service :D 

 

Hope I'm not gonna upset the ticket gods but Boomtown ticket sales is a nice calm, leisurely fun experience. Not the Glastonbury emotional rollercoaster. You'll be fine.

Pretty sure this is untrue, you can leave and return as you wish.

There was definitely a re-entry limit this year.

What I don't know is what the number was, or when/whether it reset or increased.

Not mad at all, in fact completely barking to pay fees if you've got your own van/caravan. Have you considered "Wild Camping". There are a few spots around Hampshire and if you don't know the area, I'm guessing you don't, there is a web site of the same name. Proven most helpful for some of my travels.

That sounds great but im a little concerned about not being able to bring alcohol in each day. Would cost a fortune to buy drinks at the bar All week:(

I took plenty of alcohol in my van, all decanted into varying plastic containers, I may of been lucky regards search but got it all in.? Take what you are happy to lose, just in case. It won't spoil the fun even if the alcohol police try to spoil your party. F@ck em.

Yeh, no tier 1 for me...mainly because I was trying to buy three and it would only let me choose one and it really confused me. Even more confusing than the Glasto coach options

Also, we got coach packages....if going by coach gets you free Wednesday entry, why have I got a Thursday coach? :wacko:

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.

I got in and secured a tier 2 with 24 seconds left on the clock. Almost as stressful as Glasto, fortunately a little more successful.

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. :ph34r:

Well done.

Anyone got a confirmation email yet? I ain't.

They are normally a little delayed.

But you should be able to see your order in your theticketsellers account, if you need to put your mind at ease.

We also had a needlessly stressful time. My friend got three tier 2's reserved and then started having an argument with her bf over fb chat about whether or not she would be able to get half a day off to come on an earlier coach with us. Then when that was finally agreed, her card got rejected, so she asked her boyfriend for the security number on his card and turns out he didn't know what a security code was (how?)...I had all my details in the site waiting to press pay, but then she went quiet and I didn't want to press pay unless we ended up with six but my counter was down to about 30 seconds. And then finally she screen shot the payment confirmation.

Fuck me, that was definitely WAY more stressful than it needed to be!

Our other two friends actually managed complete their transaction quicker but only bagged tier 3. That sort of faffing about would definitely not work out as well for us on a Glastonbury T-Day

    • 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. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
    • 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. 🙂
