Apologies if this is the wrong place to ask but does anyone know if it’s safe to buy a Hive ticket through Ticketswap?

[Otto77]

Yes, it's safe to buy tickets via Ticketswap.

[LilyLula]

What is Ticketswap and how does it work with the Face ID? 😬

I'm going to pretend I never saw those actual prices and spend coins like they're free all weekend.

I know what you mean, I might need more coins 🤣

43.7 Euros for spare ribs!!! Must be from famous pigs!

Jesus if I had the time off and eurostar wasn't so expensive now, the amount of tickets being flogged for this is crazy. Notification after Notification of weekend tickets every everything. Hive tickets appearing loads too.

I reckon The Prodigy have a chance of playing this with touring next year in April, especially being a UK and Ireland tour. 

They're touring every year and still RW never books them.

I guess that's the cost of leaving it last minute. Mine cost about 45 euros each way

Oh mine would have too. £60 return at the time but I'd just started a new job after a long time off so it wasn't feasible anyway. If it was it would have been booked long before now. Just a lot of people deciding it's a no.

Sorry to derail the conversation, just wanted to pop up to say they really screwed up that Saturday by losing Franz Ferdinand. Saw them last night and they're as sleek and showbiz as ever; would have been the perfect sort of festival band they're missing from that day with an hour of big tunes that would have got the crowd going

The list of f-off's this year is so long that one could write a book, but that's definitely a major one. Just waiting for the weather gods to penalize them/us as well.

Oh yeah they've always been a real crowd pleaser, even with the various changes in band members. They were good in 2018, gutted they arent there again I do wonder what happened

Can anyone that’s been before tell me if it’s worth getting breakfast at the Cafe de Welkom in the Hive?

Personally I wouldn’t pay the price but can’t comment on the quality of it.  
 

We’re just planning to take some bite to snack on in the morning and then buy something more substantial on the walk down onto the site

All good. I have to say Franz missing don't bother me in the lineup.

My wife thought it was good - I was too hungover in the tent to bother getting up that early 😂 It is also a good shout to grab food up a bit on the walk way to the festival from the stands lining the road rather than get a main meal s from the arena onsite - we usually get some noodles and meat from the place not too far from the entrance and sit in the pallet seats with a beer or two to get us set up for the afternoon - think it's about €10 - you pay by card/cash not coin out there. Inside we get the odd chips and sauce and maybe a burger, with the coin saved going to the much nicer/stronger-than-jupiler beer in an actual glass from the bar by The Walls. Have a great time!

If you mean the ticketed breakfast, it's convenient for us, cuz we don't take any food, and don't have to go hunting for brekkie. You get a baked scrambled eggs and bacon mix (spek en ei), a roll, a yoghurt, 2 pastries, with orange juice or coffee. Think we paid about 50 euros for it ahead of time, but missed the first day cuz our coach didn't get in till midday.

[Nicklord]

Yeah, I highly recommend everyone get a beer at a beer bar by The Walls. Jupiler is literally piss water (you can't change my mind 😄 )

I would oppose.. The queues there are long enough already, so please enjoy your Jupiler in the other end of the festival area 😜 Must say though, that Jupiler is not by far the worst of the "mainstream beers", but it doesn't beat a Tripel Karmeliet..

Can anybody recommend a good place to eat in the city around the Festival?

If you are talking about Werchter itself, it’s not a city but a small town with very limited options in terms of food/drinks (those 2-3 that you see on gmaps and that’s it). The road leading to the festival though is full of food tracks with many different options. My favorite is the chicken & ribs place right next to the festival entrance on the left side. Although we go there every year, I don’t remember the name but it’s with a yellow sign and a small yard with tables. Highly recommended!

If the lad who looks (a bit) like Ed Sheeran is here on the forum, see you next week in one of the apero-bars like two and three years ago.
