2000 Trees 2023

It'll be Thrill Collins probably

I do wonder how sales are actually going for this   it seems they are offering up to £100 off 3 day tickets very easily and whenever I join the waiting list for 4 day VIP which are supposedly sold out I get a message within a couple of minutes that I can buy from that waiting list

As somebody who is always eyeing this festival as a yearly ‘maybe, if the lineup does it for me…’, this year was one of the first where the headliners put me as an immediate ‘nah’, and judging by other people’s reactions here, they haven’t gone down all too well in general. Think further down the lineup is fine and I’m sure I’d find plenty to watch if I did go, but overall it’s a lot of acts who seem to always do the rounds and not a whole lot that jumps out as particularly great or special bookings. BFMV being the ‘big’ headliner says it all really as their stock has fallen pretty drastically over the last few years. Wouldn’t surprise me at all if this was selling poorly.

just seems the sort of tactics BST used to use to shift excess tickets 

[theramm]

Yeah, there certainly seems to be mixed messages. The posts are either about tickets running out die to high demand or offering discounts. Screw buying early again, could've saved a bundle.

2000trees have always had limited time sales but these £50-£100 off vouchers are the biggest I've seen (though they were doing £50 off earlier this year). General sentiment amongst our group is the undercard is amazing but headliners and a few of the bigger acts are extremely underwhelming and could be better.

Even with some of the more unique undercard, they're touring extensively around 2000trees so they're not impossible to miss. The only "true" exclusive they have got this year are basically Soft Play and The Wonder Years/Aaron West.

Tbh, I'm never really a fan of the headliners for most years and most of my mates go so I'm super looking forward to it and it's my favourite line up in ages (baring all of the headliners of course) but I am aware I am in the minority. Still think it's the best small festival in the country and offers a unique experience in the alternative scene.

A smaller attendance than last year won't be an issue for me, first time Trees had felt oversold.

Definitely seem to be struggling a bit to shift them, but could just be they want to be able to say they've sold out again.

Completely on board with this. After Slam Dunk last week a quieter affair with less queues will be very welcome. I absolutely dread to think what Download is going to be like this year (the fact it's totally sold out for the first time ever might be why Trees isn't selling as strongly).

Just booked tickets for our 1st 2000trees so any info appreciated......

I read somewhere that it is cashless but cannot find any info on their website (or am being a bit blind). Any ideas?

Yeah it cashless, you will upload money to a wristband before the festival, info on that should be out soon.

[therefused]

Confirmed cashless this year but no wristband, debit/credit card only

I'm thinking about getting a Friday day ticket and coming down on my own.

I want to go Friday evening after work and then Saturday but don’t think you can buy a ticket for a day and a half and get camping.
 

Anyone know any different and want to give two of us a lift from Bath/Bristol from like 4/5 on the Friday evening? Obviously will contribute to petrol/parking costs!

You will be able to camp, it’s basically one big area so I don’t think anyone will stop you.

Will they not see me with camping gear, check my tickets and be like sorry you can’t camp?

I’m pretty certain the website even says you can camp if you have too

Can’t see it on the website but might just go for it and hope for the best.

I knew I’d read it somewhere, it’s on Dice when you purchase tickets

Does anyone have any experience with the train from London and the coach from the station to the festival?

Just wondering how busy the train is and what the wait and price for the coach is like really.

The Secret Act have pulled out now unfortunately, for those who didn't see the post.

I had entered a competition where one of the prizes was a weekend ticket for 2000 Trees. 

I got an email to say I hadn't won but here's £50 off for me and anyone else I know that wants to come along.

Few weeks later, I get another email where they say they had 76 people tell them they could not use their free ticket so my name went back in another draw and this time I won 😄 

Seems like they are still pretty keen to get attendance up whatever the cost (presuming hoping they make the money up at the bars etc)

Side note, I actually can't go so maybe there will be a 3rd draw 😄 

[Dales]

They were recently offering free tickets for NHS staff on Tickets for Good, so maybe it has not sold that well.

Has anyone ever turned up on Friday evening to camp and will I be able to find a space to camp with a 3 man tent easy enough? 

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

Less than 600 tickets left so its sold fine

Does anyone know if there's sort of a 'last time' you can leave the site in the evenings? We're contemplating leaving the festival after the silent disco on the Saturday but not sure if it's a 24 hour rolling site like other festivals?
