T in the Park 2013

[stu150]

The stage splits were REALLY late last year though. We actually ended up with the "fake" times on here before T released the splits. I think people just like to know who's likely to clash so you can decide who you're going to see beforehand. Some of the comments were OTT though.

I think it's fair enough to expect day splits before buying a ticket though. Even if its just for the big acts. But then again they would have sold a lot more weekend tickets had no one known the Stone Roses were playing Saturday. I don't know if there's an act with that much pulling power this year. Except maybe Kraftwerk.

I think it's a pretty reasonable expectation to know what bands are playing where and when before buying a ticket.

You calling mrefestivals a liar now?

The above acts will be playing in Balado between the 12th and 14th of July 2013.

You're welcome.

i dunno about everyone else but i'm getting so pissed off with geoff using this whole 'theres over 200 bands so its less than a quid' patter

i dont think he realises that on a good T announcement you'll see about 10 bands a day at best ....

i changed my tactics last year (second year)

i saw probably close to 35-ish acts. however i didnt see full sets on a few, and went to bands just for the sake of it (see mcfly and simple minds)

i still see it as huge value for money. i just hate this thing he does were he talks about it being a pound a band.

I agree any festival is value for money. But a lot of people I spoke to said that they made their money back (Saturday day ticket) on seeing Noel & The Roses alone, forgetting that the Roses had 4 support acts & Noel had Rev & the makers. Yeah you have more options over what acts you see at a stand alone gig, but I think a lot of people forget these things when comparing gig & festival ticket prices.

[devilman]

I agree I might have, but I wasn't posting lies in any way and at least it's about additions not pure moan about the lineup

[Hendycfc]

This would be funny if you weren't mentally ill. Gazza is a workmate, gazza is a family member, gazza is a family friend, I don't know gazza, we use the same computer but I didn't know he had an account. Lying bastard. Go away. Anyone managed a killfile for here yet?

In other news where the hell did you get the info that there were bands playing thursday night? That has never been the case.

[PatsInThePark]

Think he mean the acts in the Slam tent. I seem to remember acts last year Sven Vath and Slam playing in the slam tent on the thursday.

When the last time tickets went on sale, the killers were announced as headliners an hour or so before. Might be same this time

[Stuart1000]

I don't see any day tickets on Ticketmaster to go on sale this week.

It wouldn't surprise me if they don't start selling these until June just so people buy full weekend tickets.

[thetime]

Was it v last year that didnt do the day splits until a couple of weeks before the festival

I seem to remember it being very late for T last year and a lot of people getting annoyed.

[Deeps]

Considering T sells Day tickets, its fair enough people want to know the undercard for their day...

Even if you've got a weekend ticket, there might be say 15 acts you really to see but most end up being on the sunday and clashing...

With festivals like T where its basically a gig in a field, there is need to know your not going be bored for the majority of the weekend (and no to campsite "banter" in a field for 200 quid doesn't count..)

[fraser_k]

I can't imagine the day tickets sold particularly well last year, apart from saturday for the stone roses.

[mrtourette]

It's pretty poor from to sell day tickets but not confirm which bands are on each day.
