Congratulations all! See you in a couple of weeks!

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

Those that have already done the +1 option - does the link for the code come in a separate email to the booking confirmation? I'm sure it does, but I just want to check I'm not overlooking anything in the confirmation email like a tit.

Mine hasnt come through yet but it will be separate to the confirmation yeah. The confirmation says at the bottom "you will receive a text or email in the next 2 hours with your code" or something to that effect.

Yes it did. Both email and text. Mine came around 2hrs after initial booking in the presale. Code was live for about 3hrs after that point, but they say to use it within 2hrs of receipt.

Make sure you're logged in with a different ticketmaster account when you use the code than the one used to book the initial ticket. It'll almost certainly get cancelled otherwise.

Thanks both!

Doesn't feel real yet that in two weeks we'll be at an actual festival.

Mine's just come through now via text

If nobody takes up the +1 I won't lose my ticket will I? My group all went for the +1 thinking it would be an instant sell out, but it's just not.

No, you'll be fine. It'll just go back into circulation after the code expires.

Just thought of this off the top of my head, assume parking is included? Never been to download before! 

[Andre91]

1. The +1 link will come through via text and email.

2. DO NOT book your +1 ticket with the same card you booked yours with, nor through the same TM account. Same billing address is fine, however. 
 

3. Parking is included in the ticket price. 
 

4. AS IF THIS IS REAL 😄

Never assume this with Download. Minus Glastonbury, they have the most expensive parking.

They’ve stated that parking price is included with this one 🙂

So it should be the amount of years they've ripped people off on day tickets for £20.

[KingPin]

It's a good think that all my mates managed to get their tickets as I've still not gotten my +1 link.

The giddiness is building. 

[aidenlangan95]

Still seem to be tickets available for this.

There will be, it's a niche market from a selection that doesn't sell out when usually booked.

Decided I'll sack off the football as this weekend will definitely be a million times more fun. I cannot wait

Yep, I've also made this decision haha

 

Absolutely buzzing to get smashed in a field again!  See you all there :)

How big does everyone think the 2nd stage/tent will be? Big enough for us all to get in even if the stages alternate?

[dip]

Assume it'll be Reading's NME stage

I could be wrong but I think I read somewhere the big top tent is 10k capacity so it should be plenty

[Andre91]

I’m assuming the Big Top will be the same tent R&L uses for the R1/NME Stage and the Main Stage will be the one that usually gets used as the Second Stage at Download. 

[Hawky]

Will bands clash? 

[dip]

In other tests, they've had tents/rooms far bigger than the actual capacity so maybe they'll do that?
