Increased Capacity

[Dave The Hedgehog]

I saw the feed down the side (----->) and noticed that Leeds organisers were hoping to increase capacity to 90,000 this coming year - do you reckon this this will be weekend tickets, day tickets or will it be divided between the two?

Sub-question - do you think 90,000 will make it better or worse?

Wouldn't it depend on how much space would be available outside the arena for camping and the rest going to day tickets.

Its an extra 5000 per year over 4 years, not all at once. And subject to being approved

I'd imagine it will just make it worse. Face it the most people who are there for the music will always be there, say about 10-15k then I would say the majority of other people are casual music fans 20-30k and the rest are knob heads thats 25-35k nobheads and facebook updaters, openening up the festival to more people will just allow more of the latter in meaning that the knobheads far outweigh the rest of the festival goers. I think there going to have to make more space especially in the NME tent.

What was reading like last year? Was it just rammed full of people everywhere? I wouldn't mind another stage though.
