We'll se what it ends up with, but even though this edition is weak, for me last year was almost as bad as it can get (I hope). However this year Saturday still is a bit of an unknown, so it's mainly Sunday right now that really looks like a festival of its own. Hopefully a few of those bands I'm not too familiar with yet on the Slope can even it ut a bit.
I find sometimes that front-high seats can be deceptively cheap, but typically only in stadium gigs and as late production holds. (Presumably as promoters wish to milk every penny.)
