Answering myself, yes, now, didn't work earlier presumably whilst latecomers were trying to snap up the final ticket release! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenjoDiMeo Posted May 20, 2021 Report Share Posted May 20, 2021 Couldn't wait for Primavera to return, so officially making my EotR debut this year. Very excited to find out about this festival I've heard about for years. (And what a lineup!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, damn shame, I was really looking to seeing him again. He's great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hadn't clocked that it says you need to buy one in advance. Will do so. Although are they really going to turn people away on the day?

I mean, what's the alternative? At the most/worst, I guess they could try to "punish" people by directing them to park as far away from the entrance as possible. Ultimately the lanes around the site are already narrow and problematic enough that turning away even a fairly small number of cars would have a serious negative impact on arrivals and the local area.

See you there. You'll love it. I've been to every one apart from the first & it never disappoints. 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airwaves Posted May 21, 2021 Report Share Posted May 21, 2021 I see that ArcTanGent have in the last hour or so announced that they will NOT run this year - cancelled - and postponed until August 2022. They cite, amongst all the usual 'covid uncertainties' the lack of a viable insurance scheme. They were due to run around 3 weeks before EOTR. How are we all feeling about EOTR still going ahead??

They cite, amongst all the usual 'covid uncertainties' the lack of a viable insurance scheme. They were due to run around 3 weeks before EOTR. How are we all feeling about EOTR still going ahead?? I don't think it's directly comparable. Plenty of festivals in the weeks before ATG's dates, a lot of them bigger, are currently still going ahead, while at least one that had already moved to after EOTR has already been cancelled. Also ATG is a special case, it relies more than most on international acts and its sister festival 2000 Trees had already postponed so it was basically a matter of time (the statement referred to variant-based doubts over whether Step 3 would take place, which given it did so on Monday suggests they were planning the postponement last week) The government insurance is the big sticking point and has been cited by practically every other July/August festival that's cancelled but it seems festivals with reliable backing are willing to take a chance, especially at the end of the summer - EOTR aren't going to put their remaining tickets on sale if they're that doubtful. FWIW the Telegraph today is reporting that the test events went well enough that the most likely recommendation is for large events to be given the go-ahead, with screening in place, after Step 4.

RustySpanner Posted May 21, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2021 I think will all depend on what happens on June 14th. If announcement made that next step of road-map the following Monday is delayed, we'll start to see many festivals pull the plug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean1234321 Posted May 22, 2021 Report Share Posted May 22, 2021 (edited) I would say Jonny will play as already advertised. Guess there is a slim hope of an additional The Smile set though...will be interesting to see if they announce a tour.

MassiveGypsum Posted May 31, 2021 Report Share Posted May 31, 2021 (edited) Hi there, posting here cos it seems to be the only consistently active thread - I bought a ticket during the May 20th resale, but since the Primavera lineup dropped I’m strongly considering selling on my EOTR ticket via Twickets so I can afford it. I should be able to do this pretty simply right? Twickets won’t let me do an official sale via EOTR yet, but EOTR made an announcement about upcoming Twickets resales on a Facebook post. I’m guessing there will be a window coming up where I’m enabled to sell it on? Edited May 31, 2021 by MassiveGypsum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
