Selling my ticket for 2,000.

No I'm not a c---y tout. No harm in making a bit of money.

Shocked that the forum admin would speak to someone on here like that, no matter what your opinion, there's a more professional way to do it.

@shaun64 Last time I checked see tickets they had dispatched 94% of tickets apparently, so yours may be in that last batch if you ordered from them...

[HarryP95]

Ticket web haven't dispatched yet, i rang up last week they said expect late june early july. I think it is worrying at this point, would deffos avoid them

[blurbinator]

Just remembered last year that we were getting concerned that we wouldnt receive them before we flew out (as we went a few days before the actual festival) and they came that week by the skin of our teeth!

[Dom Wall]

Yeah. They were fairly late last year, seemed to have picked their game up this year.

How's everyone enjoying the world cup? Don't look like Portugal or even Spain will be making it far! Brazil not started well either. Argentina or Germany for me so far

[tomhall6787]

Yeah Argentina and Germany look pretty convincing at the moment but Netherlands are devastating on the counter attack. Gutted it won't be an England Portugal final though...

Anyone who has been before where is the best place to get cheap booze from for throughout the day? I've looked on google but can't find any decent supermarkets near by

[HarryP95]

there is one near the campsite called jumbo i think it is at a commercial centre with loads of shops. saw it on google

[Placid Casual 1927]

I don't think it was ever going to be an England Portugal final!

I actually find it quite refreshing. I'm over seeing "professional responses" to douche bags who don't deserve it.

If a scumbag tout is being a scumbag tout than they deserve to be called a scumbag tout.

Why should efestivals have to mince their words? If they hurt the feelings of the scumbag tout, thats the scumbag touts problem for being a scumbag tout.

And I'm shocked that Prawnofthedead would make all that fuss about leaving and then come back under another name.

If you are staying at the Optimus Camp there is a mall nearby named Alegro. Including a huge Supermarket. Its about 20 minutes walk from the campsite, but I would prefer taking a taxi.

Hope there's a big fan park on town watch the final

I've tried looking, seems theres two: one right in the centre by the river (by the Terrerio De Paco metro) and one in the gardens (Parque Eduardo VII)

However, mattpt will be able to help us more i'd say..

There is a big screen in the Lisbon main square where they are showing the world cup games (my mate is in Lisbon at the moment and sent me a picture of it) but that was for the Portugal match. I'm not sure if they will keep it up once Portugal aren knocked out.

[mattpt]

you have many. at Terreiro do Paço in front of the river(Terreiro do Paço metro station), Parque Eduardo VII closer to Marquês de Pombal statue(Parque/Marquês metro station) and at Mercado da Ribeiro (Cais do Sodré station, you have bus, train and metro). the last one is my choice - good food, good drinks but a bit expensive (at least for us)

[tomhall6787]

Friday is looking really weak for me. Other than the Black Keys and MGMT are there any other bands that are worth checking out?

[Dom Wall]

Au Revoir Simone I've found to love. Sam Smith, Toddla T, Diplo, Parquet Courts, SBTRKT and Allen Stone are recommended too.

[Nobby Solano]

Is this the full line-up then?

[joshhall]

Sorry to bring back up the topic of ticket selling but I have 3 tickets that I am looking to sell on. I wouldn't have put it up on here normally but as it's sold out on SeeTickets I figured there may be people interested.

Happy to sell individually, as a pair, or even all three together for face value of £90 each (don't worry about booking fees etc...). I see on viagogo and such the tickets have inflated massively and I'm not interested in making profit. I just would quite like to get some or close to all of my money back that I spent on the tickets in the first place.

Gutted that I'm not going. I really wanted to go having been last year. I had a great time then, and after the addition of The Libertines, the line up is starting to look really good. Sadly I am having trouble getting the time off work having already been to Primavera Sound last month. Also already booked off time for Glastonbury next week and Latitude in July.

[willjill]

Try putting them on www.scarletmist.com might get them sold there or the OA Facebook page

[joshhall]

Will do, thank you!

Your latest comment only serves to emphasise my point about unprofessionalism.

[mucky_g]

Why?! Because you've been found out?!?

Anyway back to the festival... Anyone that's been in the past know roughly what sort of time the headliners are on at?
