BST in Hyde Park 2014

[mrtourette]

Ah yes that makes more sense! Apologies. It's fairly standard, acts cross over all the time at festivals/multi-strage concerts and I'd imagine that their priority is making sure the main stage acts get decent crowds rather than it being fair on the samll acts. It does look like they're trying to make sure that for a least some of the main stage sets there's nothing on elsewhere. In general it appears that most of the lower stage sets are timed to coincide with the gaps on the main stage which is usual.

has anyone been here before who can comment on how rigorous the searches will be. I see that bottled water can be brought in which means that other similar couloured liquids can be brought in. However will they be checking every bag and pocket before entry. I remember going to the new wembley for a gig and having an eloborate plan to bring in hidden drink only to find that they were not bothered to search bags etc

Has anyone else NOT got their tickets for this yet? specifically the Libertines? I got them in the presale and I'm still waiting on them, as I'm travelling down from Edinburgh on the Friday i'm getting a bit wary, I phoned them on Monday and the only advice they could give was that they can put tickets behind the box office for me but only 48 Hours before the gig. I'm just wary if I phone up and get tickets set aside for me, that my original ones will arrive and be cancelled, going to the box office seems a hassle if my original ones do turn up. Bit of a joke the time its taken considering I got them the exact same day as my mate who has had time to receive his and sell them on in the time its taken mine to actually turn up.

Any help appreciated guys!

That's what has annoyed me, it needs sorting, I really want to see The View, but will only get half a set, because I don't want to be at the back for The Libertines. Not fair on the band's on the other stages.

[mrtourette]

You get that at nearly every multi-stage event.

We are driving from Grimsby and are parking at Stanmore carpark and getting the tube, (Next to the carpark.) To Marble Arch, (On the corner of Hyde Park.) My friend swears by this route.

As silly as this question sounds, dont suppose anyone has any spares of them cheapy tickets for tomoz night? I have 2 but a friend isnt happy with me for not getting them some (suppose faint hope someone brought some as they were so cheap and arent going)

[bocumaroy]

Wasn't going to get tickets for this but am quite tempted by the Neil Young day now The National are down as 'full set'. I emailed the organisers for clarification and while they wouldn't commit, they seemed to suggest it would be about 90 minutes.

My friend and his gf are getting back to me later tonight if they can go. If they can't I'll give you the two.

[Muppetmark]

Would be wonderfully appreciated.

Thanks for the thought whatever happens mate

Pretty rigorous I'm afraid! They certainly look in bags from my experience, but you may get away with something at the bottom, under some stuff! Good luck!

[Boris The Spider]

Hope tomorrow's forecast isn't torrential rain.

[FEvans]

can someone who attends today provide feedback of how strict they are with taking drinks, snacks in to the venue

cheers

[Fezzy_buzzer]

Drugs as well please? Ie any sniffer dogs knocking about

[roadrunner66]

Anyone has a spare cheap ticket for tomorrow (Black Sabbath)?

[the wonderwhy]

Yeah someone report back with drink prices please

Someone earlier on the thread said a fiver a pop which I guess is about right for London.

Bloody london.

[Marc Whiffen]

Got a feeling it will a bit more than £5 could do with knowing before. How much are them scotch eggs that they just posted on the FB page too? Look mega.
