How cheap did you get your ticket for?

[Dropkick Murphy]

I wasn't gonna go to Leeds this year, I've been every year since 2001 but the line-up and clientele over recent years seem to be getting worse, however, I digress.

A culmination of recent things led me to decide to give it another go this year, ending of a 4 year relationship, no holiday abroad... but most of all, the cheap tickets. This isn't a thread about bragging how cheap people have got tickets for, as I know a lot of people would have paid full price. I hate touts and Festival Republic has stood by for the past 5/6 years and let them get away with it. This year, it hasn't sold out (Leeds) and the touts are making a loss, which is excellent.

Anyway, weekend ticket plus early entry - £160. I have picked up the tickets today so it's legit. Anyone managed to screw the touts over more? If it doesn't sell out I reckno we could see some silly prices between now and the festival.

Sure i read somewhere the last few are on Sale now? i don't know where though, might have been this site! but i hope it doesn't sell out, just to show touts the middle finger like you say! i think if they don't go they'll be going for around 80-120, i noticed MCR tickets going for like £40 on Viagago, it cost more to see Linkin Park!

I paid £115 for a pair of Saturday tickets (Reading). Without all the fees it works out as pretty much 2 for the price of 1.

A big middle finger to those who bought their ticket at face value. I doubt any touts are reading this.

I wonder how many are Touts are still stuck with?

Even though iits official sold out (well Reading anyway), I suspect there is still a big old stack of tickets sloshing about the 'spares' world.

Im still hoping its enough to make an actual difference to the feel of the attendence, sadly now, at Reading at least, I suspect it wont.

I bought mine in the early bird last year, so paid whatever the full price was then, I don't mind though as Im old and therefore MEGA RICH

£145 weekend ticket off ebay

I seem to remember last year that touts were selling tickets for less than face value last year outside on the Thursday so this started last year.

[rexclark]

We paid full price. It would've been good to get a bargain but I can't say I'm too fussed.

Full price - rather be guarenteed tickets than mess about with ebay.

[thesecretingredientiscrime]

Reading's still not sold out. Stargreen still have weekend tickets and there's still day tickets from most sources.

[mrtourette]

Friday day tickets have never sold out, Saturday and Sunday day tickets have been sold out and then come back on sale at least twice.

Early bird + weekend for £137

I hope a load of sour touts turn up and pitch about 80 tents, just to make the best of a bad situation.

£145 off ebay - I do feel sorry for the genuine people who have bought tickets with the intention of going then circumstances have changed and they are now having to sell tickets at a £50 + loss, I wasn't going to go as I'm not impressed with the line up but for less than £150 I will make sure it is a great weekend.

[todderss]

Got mine for £165 VIP all weekend.

Very happy chappy.

[satchef1]

£100 is my target price. When they start going on eBay for that, I'll pick one up. Cheapest one to go so far seems to be £120, so not far to go
