Orens Posted May 24 Report Share Posted May 24 34 minutes ago, BenG92 said: I really do think those disappointed with VIP will change their tune once they're in their private viewing/bar/toilet area watching everyone else scramble about. Plus, front row is definitely not necessarily the best place to see a band, take it from a Tool fan. I would change my ticket had I known about the changes, and I believe the ticket value went down compared to previous editions in Mordor, Ciutat and also at the Primavera/Crypto stage. I've been easy on PS for years but their lack of communication is inexcusable, they deserve the bash and we deserve better (both regular and VIP ticket holders).

A lot of deep cuts, and a lot of songs that weren't played at all in their previous reunion. Bring it on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really depends on who you see. With certain bands like Tool you want to sit back and soak it all in. Tame Impala in my experience are better seen at the back. However with high energy performances such as IDLES and Slowthai I will want to get to where the dancing/moshing is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Etaish Posted May 24 Report Share Posted May 24 Why stop at money back, lets file a class action against those bastards! But in all seriousness, PS have been able to stir this ship through two and something ridiculously challenging years and came out the other end with a phenomenal 20 years edition with an arguably unparalleled line-up, so not getting priority access to the mosh pit this year, seems to me somehwhat of a minor grievance (having said that, I fully acknowledge that each punter's personal financial circumstances are different and mean no disrespect to anyone who feels shortchanged by the limiting of the VIP benefits this year). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhak Posted May 24 Report Share Posted May 24 Most of the recent VIP bashing is based on a map. I agree it doesn't look great with comparison to the past but would it not be better to wait for the actual festival or any further communication (which they could've handled better yes, I'd imagine you'd get an extra mail when you're a VIP)? I also agree it feels weird they would've upped the price that much for WE2 and then give less. Then again: there aren't any actual promises made on where your vip area will be etc... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Familiar2billions Posted May 24 Report Share Posted May 24 (edited) I was a bit gutted I didn't get VIP this time around, but looking at how far back that VIP viewing platform/area is in the photo, I'm pleased we didn't bother now. Having it that far back is a piss take. When it was along the side you could quite close to either stage and still feel a part of it all, or, if you weren't too bothered go more in the middle. Having it at the back like that though will just make the whole experience feel removed. Edited May 24 by Familiar2billions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a 2019 VIP ticket-holder I actually don't get any mails from them, although I mailed them about it (got no response). I only read the mails you guys are posting 😂 So much for a lack of communication... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You joke but on reddit there’s a post saying that Primavera has broken the law!! I normally trust them to get these things right but my bigger worry is that they’ve messed up with capacity, given inaccessibility of Bits. Feels like a very real risk that people won’t bother going to Bits as too far away this year, which could make the main section uncomfortably crowded this year. Also wouldn’t surprise me if there are other teething problems in Weekend 1 and Weekend 2 people will end up getting a better experience.

Messy Posted May 24 Report Share Posted May 24 Does anyone know if you'll actually be entry without the accessticket thing? I sold my ticket a couple of months ago via TicketSwap but that was before the emails about accessticket went out. Their customer service is non existent and I don't seem to have a way of contacting the buyer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feels like a very real risk that people won’t bother going to Bits as too far away this year, which could make the main section uncomfortably crowded this year. I think you're probably right about this, particularly given that new photo of the main stage area which has made me a little nervous all of a sudden. Bits is basically half an hour walk at peak times from Mordor – how many people are realistically going to be arsed going back and forth to this to watch stuff that aren't 'key acts'? Unless they're somehow making that routing between main site and Bits extremly efficient I think a lot of people might just swerve it completely. Even as someone that's been for years even I've been looking at the scheduling and wondering if any of the acts up there are worth sacrificing a 20+ minute walk to when I could be watching something else in main site.
