Meh

[Anderson19]

Maybe they read our posts about lack of news.

Hawky called this announcement the other day, I'm happy with this saw him at Glasto in the sunshine last year perfect sunshine music.

[Anderson19]

If a buy a weekend with camping ticket is there any reason I need to actually go to the campsite? Surely I'll just get the ticket won't it without having to go the the campsite?

Seetickets are sold out of 3 day tickets without camping.

[Dom Wall]

Didn't expect See tickets to sell out this quick...can still get tickets through ticketweb though.

[Dom Wall]

Happy about Ben Howard though!

[Anderson19]

When you actually put in on ticket web how many you want it says in available.

I don't mind paying the bit extra for the with camping tickets, it's only £10 more and surely they will just send me the tickets on the post and I won't need to go to the campsite..

[Anderson19]

Unavailavble even.

[Dom Wall]

Yeah just noticed that...shit! Damn having students as friends! We've saved money on the flights mind so £10 won't hurt.

[Dom Wall]

Looks like you can still get them through Planet Festival..

[Anderson19]

Don't know if i like the look of that site, I'm

Sure its reputable and all but it wants names and info lf every person.

Anyone who's camped before did you get your festival ticket sent out in the post? No collecting at campsite or anything like that is there..(I wouldn't think so) do you just get a separate ticket to show you are camping?

I haven't camped before but See Tickets sent me an email recently saying that I should receive my tickets around 14 days before the event, and I am camping so you'll be fine Anderson

[Dom Wall]

Yeah, but I can't see Optimus themselves promoting a fake site..

[Millar95]

Oh, and very happy with Ben Howard!

[Dom Wall]

See tickets seem to have them back now..

[Anderson19]

Yeah thats true I know it's not going to be a fake site that's just me being a creature of habit with ticket sites I know I'm sure it'll be fine.

Back now?! I just tweeted them and they told me they wouldn't be getting anymore that they were aware of!

[Dom Wall]

Yeah, I see what you mean.

Strange! I've just managed to get through to payment with the weekend no camping ones..check their site now!

[Placid Casual 1927]

I bought tickets with camping even though I'm not camping. There might be some partying at the campsite I don't want to miss out on!

[Anderson19]

Yeah just got them from seetickets now, cheers for that probably wouldn't of checked back.

[Dom Wall]

Must just be the last few they've got! Thought it was strange.

[Dom Wall]

Unless Optimus have seen their tweets to you and gave them some more..

Looking at previous years, I reckon Interpol will be our Thursday sub!

[Dom Wall]

Yeah, it's looking more like that might be the case..
