Yep it’s Robbie. Hopefully this means some other “big” acts to be announced. Was originally hoping for a Bloc Party silent alarm day like Live at Leeds In The Park or Brighton Beach but maybe that’s too small now looking at this first headliner. Also would be shocked if Fender doesn’t do a day. Fontaines doing a Finsbury Park type lineup up here would go down well too IMO 

Yes but if it breaks and stops letting people in like Oasis then better to be in it ASAP  

There doesn't seem to be enough people saying this. And I think it's worth saying.  ARRRRGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH   Ahem. 

Fair points.    There's no way to know. Last week I joined the waiting room on ticketmaster 15 mins early whereas a guy i work with joined 2 mins before and he ended up 17th in the queue and i was 6000 odd

Yeah, definitely wouldn't expect the driver to hand over the missing ticket - drivers vary so there might be one or two out there that are prepared to do it, but generally speaking if the person isn't there, they'll not hand out the ticket.   They instead should hand it in to the box office at Gate A, as part of their paperwork / debrief - but there's a definite risk in relying on that happening and it being made available for collection. Too many links in that chain where something could go askew for my taste. As the terms and conditions (repeatedly) say that the ticket is only valid if travelling on the service, they'd be under no obligation to go out of their way to help.
