supply and demand.. exactly! So if you're arranging a festival where there are zero hotel options within a 30-minute drive, and you know demand for glamping is going to be off the scale, maybe it would make sense to provide enough glamping options so as they're not sold out within 30 seconds?!
It can't be a lack of space as the 'tent hotel' is still on sale... So why not add more larger canvas tents or wodden platform tents, which are clearly in high demand, and reduce the basic tent options which clearly aren't? The answer probably has something to do with the fact they're charging almost 300EUR for a basic 2-man tent, so there's more profit to be made in that.
I think I'll be cancelling my tickets... I didn't realsie when I booked that there'd be so few options. I had to convince my family to camp as we had a nightmare with the weather at Electric Castle this year... I managed to sway them with the glamping, but there's no way will they want to do the same thing again at RfP so we're going to have to cancel 😞
One of the biggest certainties in this game is that a festival could somehow get prime Queen, The Beatles and Nirvana to headline next year and people will complain on social media. It's not a big festival and I think that the line up is probably reflective of the festival's size. Might all hinge on that final headliner though...
Yeah, I don't think it's bad organisation if I'm honest. Agree that they've been quite open and warned people it could be selling out. As you say it's just a time of year that might not suit people sadly. I had planned to check a tent in as a hold bag for our flights and stay at that Spravcak (apologies if that's wrong) as that looked like the preferable option.
Given the bands they get it’s not as large a festival as you might expect. Correct me if I’m wrong but the capacity I believe is close to 40,000 so about half that of Download. I’d assume they provide glamping availability relative to that scale so it’s not necessarily a surprise that it’s sold out with how quickly tickets seem to be going (they recently said 80% sold out).
its a bit of a shame as this close to Christmas people will miss out but its simply supply and demand for the popular glamping options. I think it’s unfair to put this as bad organisation they’ve been pretty open about demand and given all the info they can?
Any guesses who could be the last headliner? Seems it should be someone not heavy as the rest of heads are heavy.
But Im running out of options who could that be who is around. Currently thinking about two options:
1) Upgrading regular name to headliner status
2) Booking someone who is not frequent at festivals e.g: Metronomes Die Antwoord booking
please dont mention that Viktor Sheen option again 🙂
Not limited? It sold out in 30 seconds!!! You managed to get one becaiuse someone mustn't have completed their transaction, but literalyl 30 seconds after they went on sale, I refreshed my page to make it in English and they'd all gone. I'd call that limited!!!
