Where are the older bands?!

So v and reading/leeds is still bigger by paying customers.

Say something slightly against glasto and fanboys come in droves.

Wasn't arguing it's bigger, just saying what the capacity is.

Depends if you count reading/leeds as one festival I suppose which I do. Otherwise it probably something like

1. glasto

2. download

3.v

4. titp

5. reading

Paying customers no! which what were going on....another fanboy?

comined ticket sale which is the way to go is.

v

reading/leeds

glasto

So if Glastonbury has less paying customers How come the line ups always WAY better

( btw the answer to that is well known, its a rhetorical question)

Also if we wanna argue some more i recon glastonbury might be 'bigger' in area than R&L combined, but don't hold mw to that

Well technically it is the biggest for ticket sales, I guess.

In terms of single site event capacity. R/L's are separate from one and other. If we were buying a ticket to both sites and were allowed to drift between then fine (mad, but fine). But we aren't. It's a single event. And as a single event Glasto would win hands down.

Unless i've misunderstood? :S

2. Download = 111,000. (thrashhits.com 2010)

[cheeseisamazing]

Download 2010 was an exceptional case though the capacity was increased due to AC/DC and it won't be able to be increased that much again.

[2rare2die]

I think Download is normally about 85,000. I may well be wrong though
