RIP has sold out

[theramm]

It's a tough situation for the organisers. Download is (in my opinion) the best festival in the UK because of the open lines of communication between the organisers & the fans. However, everyone knew that 2010 was gonna be a big year, fans have been asking for AC/DC every year & they've finally got them. The AC/DC booking was always going to increase demand dramatically & the signs were there when the news of the capacity increase was announced.

There's no real argument that 'real fans' (I hate that term, it's bollocks) are missing out due to the demand from AC/DC fans as early bird tickets were on sale for ages & cheaper so the people who attend every year were more than catered for. The people who wait to review the line-up &* rumours are in the same situation as everyone else.

I still firmly believe the quality of service, lack of bar ques etc will be the same, they will have increased all of this in relation to the increase in capacity.

Im sure download will give us updates on how tickets are selling. They did last yr.

got the call, tickets sorted my reasoning was half in that i couldn't decide on download last year, ended up not going and felt sick watching faith no more tear the stage apart, and ac/dc are enough to make the plunge into the relatively unknown. Also it seems to be smashing weather every year which is always good at a festival!

Well since I won't have the ticket money until at least mid Feb unless my friend can lend me £90 I've NO CHANCE of getting them til March - so I'm more than a little worried, though I asked Dog on Twitter and he has said that he doesn't expect it to have sold out before then. I'm still worried!!!

Andy Copping said today ''We've sold four times as many tickets in our first day than we have in any previous DOWNLOAD first day onsales! Unbelievable!!''

[Old Mosher]

Seriously? Sold Out? Madness!

[t8yman]

Well, all the local hotels are already fully booked as far as I can see, and I doubt that its just the bands that stay in them. So selling out RIP seems plausible

In regards to overall tickets, just reading Johns blog, he says they can go upto 100,000 camping tickets and 120,000 overall if they want to this yesr
