KLF does look interesting, to those who have booked for any film, did you check for clashes first?

You can cancel and get your money back, thankfully.

Cool photos. Hope I get the jet fighter and not the dodgem.

Gone for the KLF one myself. Thursday at headliner time is always monster busy & I never really get to see what I want. So this is a decent option. We can see whoever's dj'ing, watch the movie & be out and about for 11:30 ish. Probably head to Block 9 afterwards.

Oh well, did think it was a bit good to be true given there's only 70 cars:

We are very sorry to report that we had an issue with our booking system being overloaded on Wednesday, which meant it kept taking bookings on some screenings even when they were already full. 

We are truly sorry to let you know that having gone through the bookings on a first come first served basis, we are not able to fulfil your booking for a car for Who Killed The KLF?.

☹️☹️ That's a shame. 

I'm keeping an eye on my inbox hoping I don't get an email now! 

Hopefully you can turn up and grab a set of the spare headphones on the night

As much as the concept and the pics look great, it's probably the least interesting area for me. Wasting two or three hours there when I could be doing anything else the festival has to offer, in a field that could accommodate several hundred more people if there was a stage or a tent or a silent disco, I just don't see the allure.

Paul McCartney live vs a film I could have just watched at home? There's just no contest. 20 quid doesn't even seem steep for booking on a whim and even then, planning a 3hr slot away from the other amazing stuff just boggles my mind.

I met someone who doesn't drink and spends nearly all their time in the theatre and circus fields. Different tastes but they were happy.

For anyone who hasn’t seen it, Riz Ahmed’s The Long Goodbye is an incredible, chaotic, dark 12 minute short film that everyone should see at least once in their life.

At least for circus and theatre you can dip in and out at no charge, with a very high turnover of performances, still relatively close to the music if you want to catch anything spontaneously. But you're right, it's personal taste.

Suspect I’m waiting for something similar coming through. Did they take payment? I’ve emailed them as I didn’t get a confirmation email with reservation number but payment was taken.

That's a good point actually, I didn't get a confirmation email from them, just my PayPal receipt. 

Has anyone else had a confirmation email yet?

Yep, got the confirmation email from them and money taken via paypal. I'd even taken a photo of the reg number in prep for the event!

And yes, if the weather's fine I'll queue for the headphones, but I was mainly doing it as an insurance policy with the weather...and because sitting in one of Joe Rush's cars to watch the KLF would have been a fun experience (and to rest our feet before heading off into the night).

Just checked PP receipt for KLF at 10:37am on the 25th but no confirmation email yet.

I reached out to them on Instagram, and they said all I need is the PayPal confirmation
