Would it *really* be too soon to have them back at BT? I'd bloody love it.

It was honestly one of the best days of my life the last time they played...not only did we catch them soundchecking the whole of 'Do You Realize?!' I bumped into Wayne Coyne later and shook his hand. 

[Flaminglippy]

Was going to wait until the line up announcement but having such a sh*t week at work just rage bought early birds. 

[gizmoman]

Was away this morning so didn't have chance to try for early birds but just had a look and am confused by the Wednesday charging, is the £10 Wednesday campervan charge just for those with hookups (to cover the extra electric) or do all early arrival campervans have to pay it? If so and with the increase to £30 for Wednesday I probably will wait til Thursday (assuming we go) will wait for the lineup now before committing.

[Perks]

Hi all, I want to try this festival next year and I'm just wondering if tents are allowed to camp on a pitch with a camper on like at other festivals. 

Thanks

yes, the pitch is 6m x 7m so as long as you fit in that footprint

 

[onemoresolo]

Somehow grabbed price freeze tickets - balances out after I missed early birds last year I guess. Not committed to Wednesday yet, so will play that by ear. Really need something to look forward to. We had a great time this year but had various personal stuff hanging over us that was hard to shake, so it'd be nice to have a do-over.

240 now for weekend. sheesh.  That escalated quickly

We read it as an extra day for a hookup and just added Weds tickets and 1 campervan without hookup

[IndiePoppyJock]

Didn’t know tickets were on sale - no email or Twitter post, so missed out.

I’ll definitely be going, but I guess no hurry to buy the tickets now. £250 is still good value if it’s the same sort of set up.

£32 to park in a muddy field though!!

[Kurosagi]

Yeah, snooze you lose in this game, wasn't able to book them until now and so had to pay 3rd release prices. Oh well.

 

Crossing my fingers that BT25 will be a dry and sunny party after this year's shenanigans!

 

(And that against all odds and perceived wisdom that Flaming Lips are invited back because they're so awesome)

It can be read both ways, just found the info though,

https://beardedtheory.co.uk/about/ticket-information/

 

"If you are bringing any Live-In Vehicle to the festival on the Wednesday, you will need to purchase a £10 vehicle pass. Wednesday car parking is included in the Weekend Car Parking ticket."

 

So it is for ANY live in vehicle, you will need to spend another £11! It makes some sense, they have to do an extra days servicing of the toilets etc. and have staff on site, still it's quite an increase on this years flat £20 fee per head. Maybe they will have additional acts on Wednesday to justify it. I've missed out on the early discounts so I'll wait til nearer the time now and see how things are.

I was hitting f5 at seconds to 10 and still couldn't get this year's price tickets but did get super early birds. 

Think next year will be my 8th . This year was my first muddy one so that's good odds!

Pound for pound best festival and definitely friendliest. 

[onemoresolo]

Interesting in the FAQs it says Convoy Cabaret will be open on Wednesday too. Think everything was on Woodland this year before the weather hit.

[onemoresolo]

Didn’t think house was the music of choice in there.

House as in 'in house' not music genre

I was being daft. 😁

[Paul ™]

Convoy was meant to be open the Wednesday too, with just house DJ's on. Then everything got swapped over to there from the Woodlands.

Thanks, you're right. We'll need the extra Weds campervan ticket

[OKMess]

Everyone done their survey? Who did we all put as wanting to play next year?

Siouxsie
James
Nothing But Thieves

and left them to sort the rst to surprise me.

Yeah I put James as well. Bit of old school indie was missing this year

[gorfield]

I would like Gaz Coombes, he is so underrated

It feels odd to arrive at September and not be talking about the forthcoming ticket sale!!

Let's hope the first lineup drop comes sooner as well cos the end of November feels a long long way off.

 

I predict it will come in October.

I hope that is right - something good to read through and music to listen to whilst those October storms blow.

 

I hear @Chrisp1986 is already on site before those storms just making sure there are more hills this year to make up for the disappointment of the flatness this year.

I am heading to Cardiff Stadium to assess the hills there for @Nobody Interesting first.
