Lots of people getting carried away with suggestions that are unrealistic for Boomtown, but it's a very solid line up. thank you I’m expect I’ll be please with it. Not expecting too much.

I've seen lots of self confirms but it seems mostly DJ's and dancey stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sku Posted July 15, 2022 Report Share Posted July 15, 2022 Here is the image. Worth keeping in mind, the photo only shows about 40% of the bowl. Most of it is cut off, in the foreground the crest of the hill is blocking the view, and there is plenty of space to the left too. This might be leading to the illusion of the bowl looking "small" Worth keeping in mind, the bowl has previously hosted 60k cap festivals back in the 00s. It's not unheard of to have a festival that big contained in the bowl, it really is a very large area that Boomtown have not typically used in full. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a6l6e6x Posted July 18, 2022 Report Share Posted July 18, 2022 Awesome, is it worth going on the Wednesday? Are there names on the tickets or is it okay to buy through twickets for this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are there names on the tickets or is it okay to buy through twickets for this? There will be limited entertainment on Wednesday, normally finishing at 10pm. Likely a couple of the forest stages will be open, and maybe some mobile sound systems. It is probably skippable, just a personal preference of whether you want a full 5 days or not. Along with that chance to get settled in, find a camping spot, and be ready to go on Thursday, when a lot more will be on. Yes, there are names on the tickets, they are etickets. There is actually an official resale system run by Boomtown this year, via their platform theticketsellers. I would highly recommend using this rather than Twickets. Using the official resale method, the tickets will be transferred into your own theticketsellers account, and you can be sure they are yours. If you use Twickets, the tickets are actually still "owned" by someone else, and you are trusting that they won't use them, and won't sell them to anyone else. As they are still in their account, and not yours, they can change the name on the ticket after selling it to you, invalidating the PDF they have sent to you. It's just not worth it when there is an official resale method, and there are plenty of face value tickets still for sale. Plenty of official links here: https://boomtownsource.com/boomtown-tickets-2022/, or on the Boomtown subreddit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a6l6e6x Posted July 18, 2022 Report Share Posted July 18, 2022 Also hopefully final question Does this work like glasto aka when you're in you're in? Or are there gates with checks so you can't walk around with loads of booze on you in the arena? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah same as Glastonbury there’s no arena, there is a limit on how much alcohol you can take in though. 16 x440ml cans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as they don't change the rules this year there's a certain amount of booze you can bring in once you get there but you can take your own drinks with you wherever.
