Above link has a lot of info. Boomtown has never used reusable cups, I guess its much easier and cheaper to use paper ones and clean them all up at the end of the day with all the other litter rather than have a re-usable system with cup washers and special bins etc. But maybe now LiveNation can assist them with that.

Absolute shocker. The 3 festivals I go to have had them for years. Not convinced it's a cost issue, more like they weren't interested and this is a nice PR initiative for LN.

There were loads on resell for this year but people did buy them 3 years ago typically takes a little while to sell out but it was extremely well received on socials this year so demand may be higher. I know 4 people who want to go next year having never expressed an interest before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know 4 people who want to go next year having never expressed an interest before Yeah I’ll be in that boat too. Just wondered if I needed to be on it like Glasto or could wait for other festival lineups. Kind of in between going to this, Bloodstock or Sziget but never done any of those. Slight reservation with Boomtown is it being too dance heavy but im after a festival with a Glastonbury edge that’s independent however the only music that will interest me at boomtown is the little heavy/punk stuff they put on so not sure if it’s worth it. Our friends fancy it though so might give it a go as a new festival. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A standard resale ticket in May 21 was £225, so is that a 30% increase over last year for phase 4? But I'm sure my Oxfam deposit was £285, and the deposit is pegged at ticket price was that initially 2019 prices?

You definitely don't want Sziget based off this imo - very commercial and very headliner focused Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardly any of the crowd I went with this year are going for the early bird tickets, they are all waiting to see if they're successful with Glastonbury. Doing both Boom and Glastonbury next year will now be the best part of a grand before you even get on site! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All festivals have a slight falling apart vibe on the leaving day but Boom is the only one where it felt like every one had given up. 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought it used to be free if you had 3+ in a car, or maybe they needed to all have weds entry as well. That’s for an extra day of festival and logistics/ organisation. Eco bond increase is indefensible considering how impossible they make it to claim back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the eco bond increase is down to the state that the majority left the camp sites areas in. Totally agree with the places to claim it back being very hard to do so. This needs to be improved on for chapter 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aidenlangan95 Posted October 5, 2022 Report Share Posted October 5, 2022 (edited) Booked my ticket easily enough at the cheapest price. On the subject on the eco-bond: Managed to get a eco-bond payment for my first year (2018) but put my rubbish in an area in 2019 and didn't try to get the payment. Nothing seemed to be open this year to bring the rubbish and get a return for the eco-bond so hoping they sort that out this year.
