Can the papers be trusted though!

I would say their is too much on, festivals/summer concerts/ tickets going on sale for winter concerts.

People simple cant afford them all!

Im going to outsider , T, Chili's, Foo F, Magic Numbers, Fray, Arcade Fire, Stereophonics, Kings of Leon, Connect, Indian summer.Most of these have been put on sale in the last month or so. Luckly im not having to pay for them all but others not as fortunate have to fork out for fear of missing or simple not go.

Ebay tickets become an option then because people cant afford now but come sept/oct may fancy it no tickets available so ebay is the option.

Perhaps a rule should be ticket sales 1 month before gigs giving people an oppertunity to buy for today and scammers less time to punt tickets.

the fact that if i wasnt goin to glasto, i was considering this. im sure quite a few others might have been the same.

but i guess the amount of scottish festivals this year, plus its northerness has had an affect on sales too.

doing a search on google news found no mention of poor sales only expected traffic chaos and up to 10,000 expected, I expect the 2,500 figure is the tickets already sold with the camping passes and as they have all gone thats not a bad sign. I would expect a lot to attend on day tickets and with the bad weather recently people are holding back from buying early, this happens at other festivals Cornbury being one I was at last year where people were turning up to get a day ticket to see Robert Plant play on the saturday and finding them sold out ( the numpties should have done their homework and checked how many gigs he was playing in the UK and realised that there would be a demand for them )

ps. and look at the sponsers they have a large Whisky company and the EU a bit of a loss first year should not be a problem

I'm tempted to go to this (full weekend, camping), mainly for the atmosphere. But I'm chronically indecisive and don't know if it's a great idea, or a pretty poor one (only been to three festivals before, and never alone). Thoughts (please!)? I'll buy you a nice pint of cider, or other drink of your choice, if you assist in the decision making process ;)

What a shambles ticketmaster are. I booked my tickets a month ago and they still havent arrived. I've phoned them and i now have to pick them up at the site. Was i supposed to kinetically know this? I trust i'll get my delivery fee back! At least a tout would tell you where to get the tickets!!

Same here - I'm not adopting any more kids! I'm going on my own too but would be up for meeting up for a drink on the Friday (that's tomorrow isn't it) I'm happy wandering about randomly on my own though so I wouldn't plan on stalking you throughout the festival!! ;):)

    • Muse will be about but the issue with Muse is that they’ll have the pick of doing IOW, BST, Glasto, R&L or big parks/stadiums.

    • Not sure what this means for 2027 but it looks like Holt Farm's website and email are both now inactive and unavailable.   It'll be a shame if they don't operate for 2027 as it was an excellent alternative to the other off-site offerings.   Fingers crossed they're just enjoying their downtime 🤞
    • Deftones, Blink, Muse?   Deftones as the next bump up makes all the sense, Blink as the "band that has never played before" and round out with Muse as its been a long time since they headlined and they have a new album coming which seems on the heavier side from the singles so far.   I could see Muse do their own tour to be fair, maybe MCR in their place? Could also see Deftones switched out for Slipknot/SOAD depending on who is about.
    • I have no issue with the Primavera crowd in most respects. They’re always friendly, respectful and no hint that there could be trouble at any point.   However…the talking is horrific here. The xx was pretty much ruined for me due to people having conversations with their mates the whole way through. Noticed it from all different nationalities across the weekend…English, Irish, Spanish etc. There seems to be no understanding of the nuances of when it’s okay to talk and when it isn’t. And obviously the sound being quiet at a lot of spots on the main stages exacerbates the issue. That alone has made me reconsider whether I will be coming back, it would probably take a lineup as good as this year (unlikely)
