Did anyone else pre-order an event t-shirt with their tickets for Pearl Jam? Any sign of them?  AXS said they were being posted but I haven't seen any evidence of their existence from any online sources, nor have they arrived?!

Corporate culture is ruining live music - New Statesman 

Article about the growing popularity of 'golden circles' and how its ruining live music - its something that's been discussed as a problem in the past but seems to be growing in popularity, but nowhere more so than a Stones gig

Any info on how much the security gates on entry enforced the current bag restrictions? Were they serious about turning away due to bigger bags/rucksacks or not so much? 

It's a looong day out esp if hot weather so would like to take in a fair bit of stuff 😞

On sound issues... Pals went to Rolling stones in general area on Sunday night. Great show however said sound was for them abit duff on the left hand side as you face the stage but sound was tolerable in the middle for watching the screens albeit really far back unless you are in the £££ circle sections

We were on the left of the stage, probably 5/10 rows behind golden circle.  Sound was perfect

Yeah seems like it varies a fair bit so depending where you were in the field & how far back you were in GA from gold circle. Glad to hear it was good times. Such a great setlist too 🙂

Got tickets to see Pearl Jam on the Saturday. Can anyone tell me what the entrance security is like? 

Metal detectors? Sniffer dogs? Bag searches?

Metal detectors and bag searches. Didn’t notice any dogs 🐶 but I expect there’s some about.

Does anyone have a pic of the bar prices?  Are they discounted for using an American Express card?

Feels odd I haven't see any cheap tickets going for Duran Duran. Surely that has sold least of all the shows?

My mum's going if that counts for something!

[gmb1992]

I have 2 x tickets for Hyde Park tomorrow. 

Am selling £50 each and can send over instantly with an email address. 

Send me a DM if interested 🙂

Sorry if I sound completely stupid, but I'm assuming it's OK to take a travel sized bottle of sunscreen into Pearl Jam tomorrow? I can't find anything on their prohibited items to state that it would be taken off me, but I've seen people get toiletries taken off them in other venues in the past.

I'm pretty sure I got a notification from the app reminding me to take in sunscreen, as it's forecast to be hot. I'll definitely be taking some in with me. I'd be very surprised if they were to confiscate it.

Stood at the left of stage, right at relay 6 facing a speaker stack, brilliant for the Pixies, shocking for PJ, moved into the centre a bit back, brilliant sound. 

How they have speakers in the middle of the screens was beyond me, PJ were magnificent.

Missed half of pearl jam as my uncle collapsed in the crowd, managed to catch the encore though

Enjoyed yesterday. The undercard made it a much better day for me than the Stones a couple of weeks ago.

Highlight of both days for me were LIFE on the little stage. They have an album out soon. Well worth checking out if you’re not familiar with them.

Life were excellent, had never heard of them before but I became a fan immediately.

What were the bar prices, pray tell?

Ta.

From what I remember pints of Cider 5.80, beer was 6.90 I think, shorts were all cans and 5.80 for most of them, some places were selling cans (330ml) of cider for 5.50. Plenty of bars and the queues move quick enough really. The Peroni bar is a good spot and the Peroni was savage.

Thanks, dude.
