Gonna be so funny when Emily sits there tonight talking about how difficult it’s been booking this year and that they’ve lost a couple of headliners due to the pandemic.

I think they are still alive ..

Don’t think they’ll go for Pearl Jam to be honest.

Remember buying tickets in 2004 really quickly. Mate's girlfriend's sister worked at See and got hold of a backdoor link (back when this sort of thing was possible) into the booking screen.

Mates of mine had been going since 1997...said to me oh its easy to get tickets...obviously, pre-super fence was a doddle.

2002 took 6 weeks to sell out

2003 was 24 hours (which should have been the warning to what was going to happen)

so I finally try for 2004 and it was a fking nightmare.....and has been ever since! (bar 2008 and 2009)

How does GnR rank on the waffle-metre against previous years entries? Have only been on here for ~2 ish yrs in total so keen to know just how mad this forum gets.

I first went in 2004, tickets went on sale at 8pm on a Thursday, I eventually got through online at about 7am Friday after someone posted a link on here (wayahead hosts thing I think?)

had to sack the Friday off work to sleep (called in sick) can recall just collapsing in bed two mins after I had got the tickets!

Was 2004 Aloud.com (part of Way Ahead?). That was a long one!

Doesn’t usually get this bad, but we do normally have several rumours on the go.

Ah, today was nothing. On the eFests batshit crazy scale©, today we were a solid 3 out of 5

That was a long read after the forum wouldnt respond for an hour.

 

Still think a name comes up during the show and just tempering expectations was the way to go with twitter responses. Why would you show your full hand before hitting the airwaves anyway.

Particularly as you didn't even need a ticket to get in.

You'd be pretty pissed if you were Radio 1 though. Had this big announcement planned but she's gone and oblitered your potential extra audience by saying she's just there to talk about her obviously not as popular talent competition.

Right, who's going to volunteer to listen to Radio 1 tonight then? Save the rest if us suffering. 

Only if it’s Mark & Lard
