perfectpassion Posted August 23, 2009 Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 Definitely in Salisbury. The Travelodge I booked is a few miles out in Amesbury and I'm only there because it was £9 when I booked. As the prospect of a grand gathering in the town looms, I'm already regretting it as I won't be able to have a decent drink! Last year Angelheadedhipster stayed here which has vacancies but will cost you £50 for a double plus a tenner for 2 breakfasts. Nice and central, as is the Kings Head/Wetherspoons place which I think is £55 - not sure if that includes breakfast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wurzelcat Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 Travelling solo here too, my friends that were hoping to steward left it too late and all the spaces were gone - while I bought my ticket way back in Sept last year as soon as I got back. WOuld be up for a meet up, and someone to camp with (have my own gear, just need a friendly tent circle to join). Problem is I'm lacking in internet access at the mo, am currently having to use the library which I rarely get a chance to do. I can browse these forums at work - just cant post from there, so I will just have to keep an eye on these boards to try and find out what arrangements are for meet ups etc (obv dont fancy posting my mobile no on a public forum). Thursday night meet isnt really an option for me though, I live fairly locally (Bristol) and cant really justify the extra cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geofelgie Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 Were you an 'early bird' buyer? I wasn't and mine arrived weeks ago, bit of a surprise after the usual pre-Latitude tension. Sure it will be with you soon ...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geofelgie Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 It arrived whilst I was at Latitude last year......I assumed I'd been one of the first because I was an early-birder.........never been this late before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perfectpassion Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 Mine came at least two weeks ago...signed for recorded delivery! I would be worrying if I was you!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frogmanstar Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 I'm going to give the office a call in the next couple of days - my earlybird ticket's still not arrived either. But on the plus side, geofelgie not having his yet is reassuring in a way... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
man_d Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 I got mine through about three weeks ago, so exciting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTG Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 I was an early-bird buyer.......I am trying not to worry about it.......but as my mother ordered it for me (I was away) and in her infinite wisdom put down her address and not mine........if it doesn't arrive by next week I have a serious problem.

Pm6 Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 Hi - I will be going on my own. I often go to festivals on my own as it seem most friends have a problem with camping. So i think what the hell, iam not going to miss out on so mush great music. It would be good to meet some others. This is my first time at EOTR, booked up when i saw that great line up. I will also be staying in Salisbury on Thursday night, booked up in a B&B. I need to start the day with a full English. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
