tickets on sale 3rd December

[Benj]

Appreciate it.

Parts of my conscience tell me that you're saying, "it's not worth it" in a very biased way.

Charity - what charity is it?

Vodafone area - could you give me some more details as to what that is?

More expensive bar - upon closer examination, it seems that's what's shown in the pictures... looks smashing

Loos - if that means I don't shit in a pit or trapped in a box and no way of escaping from the smell of other men's fecal matter, I'm already signing up

Viewing platform - is that the viewing platform in the middle above where the disabled people go?

Camping area - you think you get a seperate camping area... any idea where that would be at Leeds?

[Dave The Hedgehog]

I thoguht you said you weren't going to the next one?

[Benj]

What can I say, the boards are an influential place. The people can be avoided but the music is essential. That's what I'd be going for. I said it in the past that the only problem I had last year were the w*nkers that attended, and they can be easily avoided just by pitching your tent as far away from them as possible.

Besides which, they may have Soundgarden.

[Dave The Hedgehog]

I thought it was the lineup that you thought was crap

[Benj]

I don't ever remember saying that. If you could quote me on that I'd concede but I don't ever remember saying that after the festival.

[Dave The Hedgehog]

The line-up was fantastic. I saw a lot of great bands at Leeds and I enjoyed every single set I went to; as did my girlfriend. The only problems we had were the deluge of w*nkers and the noise from the funfair in the camp sites - and they're the only things putting me off going again, but then as I say, they can be easily avoided by simply pitching your tent somewhere else where there aren't quite as many w*nkers and the funfair is a faint tinnitus-like hiss in the distance (ie. Brown).

Actually, the biggest mistake me and my girlfriend made last year was that we took too much shit with us that we didn't really need, and took it through the gate upon entering. We didn't know the layout of the place and ended up entering through the Red gate - we originally wanted to camp in Blue but we couldn't carry our stuff down the hill so we ended up lugging it all the way to Green instead.

By the time we set our shit up, it was about 6pm. We did a great barbecue, had some nice food and then sodded off to the eFests meet which was... interesting. Wednesday we didn't get any sleep, Thursday was the same, Friday night we more or less passed out because of how tired we were, I was on a different planet on Saturday and Sunday we packed everything up and left after Guns n Roses.

So I had no complaints about the line-up. It was just the people around us, the funfair and the mistake of packing ten ton of shit that became irksome.

I asked the campsite manager about the Vodafone VIP tickets last year at Reading to see if they had seperate camping -

I think they did, and they were in the guest area, but i believe they were mostly day VIP tickets

[Dave The Hedgehog]

So looks like you need to get a definative response from Vodafone direct, good luck

The Vodafone tickets are just the same,you just get to buy them early and go into a seperate viewing platform.

Wouldn't suprise me if they had a seperate bar area for them too. I got a free Vodafone sim and didn't even put any credit on it and now I am eligible...

This deal just = cash for FR for the Sponsorship deal + poor take up on sales after the 2010 festival (which I factually know were way down on previous years ) meaning they've got more tickets to sell at 2010 prices.

Also Download and TITP Vodafone tickets go on sale on December 1st too.

This is basically just an extended pre-sale from September after the festival this year so I wouldn't get too upset about it. Besides, last two years Reading/Leeds tickets ain't exactly been gold dust.

Come to Reading and get a Hotel, we've got a 4* this(next) year about 20 minute walk from the site for £59 each for the 3 of us for the 3 nights.

What happened at the efest meet?! Divulge all!

From what I remember, they weren't quick to sell out last - at least not Leeds. Now if you look down the sidebar (---->) there will be even more tickets available so the chances are you won't miss out. There's always some way to get tickets to the damn thing.

[Dave The Hedgehog]

Problem is normally I only want to see a few bands on the main and want to go for the Lock up! Really did want to go last year though..

I remeber seeing some on sale right up till the friday before the week it started someware...
