Did you get your ticket straight away?

 

I bought some cheap vip upgrades from them but saying not available still

How cheap did you get the upgrades? Will keep an eye on that throughout the week 

[Hirstys 12th Pint]

Not looked on Tixel before but just checked it out and there are some very optimistic high prices on there. 

 

I sold my spare on Twickets for £110.

They are regularly dropping below 100 - it's a war of nerves! What I like is the option to set a max price and then auto purchase - mine was 85. Also, the ticket is reissued from Tramlines, so you know for sure it's legit. 

 

At the moment not great for Y Not though, as I think there are many fewer in circulation.

Mu=y Son and his Girlfriend have bought YNot tickets the week before for last 3 years.

My ticket is now there in my Tixel account.

Just looked my upgrade too thanks 

 

One more question if you don't mind 

 

As I said before we're stopping in woodseats 

 

Planning on getting an uber each day to probably arrive around 12 and go to the wetherspoons at Hillsborough for a few 

 

Where would be the best place to ask to be dropped....I'm not sure if road closures as have always got the tram from the station

Got 2 weekend upgrades for £45 each! 

 

They're not that cheap now though...but nearer the time they could be I think we got lucky

There is an official drop off point I think - can't remember where, but will be on Penistone Road. Website FAQs or App will have details. Other options might be back of Hillsborough Barracks (Morrisons/bus terminus) or surrounding, which is very walkable and takes you past several pubs, bars and cafes, alongside the tram line.

For anyone who can't get the app

Why are they now clashing Royston and Wet Leg on the Sunday? Originally Royston was 18:30-19:30 and the enemy were on at 20:15... not very ideal in the slighest. 

[sheffinghell]

I think there's been quite a lot of refinement to the schedule e.g. the overlaps on Main/Leadmill have been ironed out, which makes much more sense as they are in the same arena. Who knows reasons for other shifts - could be any number I guess... artists, site traffic, curfew restrictions... they also use the app favourites to guage likely crowd size - e.g. Lilacs got bumped up to T'Other stage last week.

Very frustrating. I imagine Royston will be the busiest the t'other gets all weekend, they shouldn't be on that stage really judging by their festival crowds at NBHD etc.

 

The changes do mean I can go into the fest an hour later than planned with Bleech playing an hour later and I can now see Florence road but still not ideal 🥲

Lilacs being on at same time as Rev is a blow as planned to see them both.  

 

They should swap Brooke Coomb and Lilacs rounds as believe Brooke offers something different to Rev who are similar in genre to Lilacs I would say.

Agree Royston Club will probably fill the big Tent as pretty much on the rise at the moment.  Seen them in various support slots and looking forward to seeing them with a bigger crowd.

I'd like them to stay as is, as will aim to see Rev & Brooke Combe! I saw Lilacs supporting Lottery Winners a few weeks ago and found them ok, but nothing exciting.

Madri being touted as main beer partner this year, no mention of Brew Dog, which is a good thing IMO. Plus Thatchers as usual I think. Craft ale definitely includes Abbeydale. Possibly one or two more.

Urgh, I seem to be the only person around who actually likes Brew Dog lager, so I was hoping they'd stick with them, but Madri as the replacement? Utter shiiite. Kicking me while I'm down. Wish they'd go back to Camden Hells like in 2019.

Brew Dog more of an ethical position for me, no opinion on the lager as I choose not to support the company. Hopefully they'll allow Abbeydale to bring something other than IPA, but not holding my breath!

Fair! As good a reason as any to not support a company. I choose not to support Madri for the moral position of thinking it's pish (and the "Madrid" branding is truly embarrassing)

Reliably informed there are 126 kegs of Abbeydale Heathen and Serenity to get through

That's Friday sorted then !!

 

The Ale / Craft tent was excellent last year. 

 

Anyone paying £7 for a can of Brew Dog Cold Beer needs their head read.  Dislike Madri (posh Carling) but better than the Brew Dog.

I would like it on record that I enjoy Brew Dog Lost Lager specifically. That Cold Beer stuff is watery piss.

I'd rather drink IPA than Brew Dog, and IPA makes me 🤢

I can't stand brew dog its got an awful taste to it,i went to tramlines and kendal calling last year and drank a fruity thatchers at both

 

First time drinking cider since being a teenager which is many moons ago

 

Madri gets a lot of flack but i've tried it once and didn't think it was anywhere near as bad as people make out

 

Tried brew dog once and that was far worse than people make out

 

So i'm happy with the move

Gutted. Just looked at Courteeners set list for their warm up gig last night. I thought we were going to get a greatest hits setlist like they did at night & day cafe with the singles album due out but it was quite heavy on the latest album which I’m not mad on tbh.
