Just in case we don’t get tickets… what European festivals can people suggests that would be good for a mixed group of late 20s/early 30s with a fairly wide variety of music tastes? Probably a slight bias towards pop, Indie, dance and RNB but not so much heavy metal. But we are very mixed in terms of taste so it needs to have something for everyone.

 

dont put the bad energy out there yet!  you will get in!

Pukkelpop and Werchter both good.

Love the positivity! I just always love to have a contingency plan in my pocket so that if it doesn’t go to plan on Sunday we can think “ah well, let’s plan X instead” rather than total disappointment.

Thank you, love the look of the RW headliners as much as “Rock” in the name might put some off.

It’s not been particularly rock-y for a few years now. Plenty of pop and dance acts over the last few years.

Looking at the past few lineups, I think RW and Sziget are the sort of vibe I’m looking for.

Didn’t get past the third blob.

It is really annoying reading posts about people who were trying who didn’t even want coach tickets.

Selfish pricks snarling it up for genuine ticket buyers.

Slightly twisted logic? The only people stopping you getting tickets were people in front of you in the queue that were actually buying tickets - anyone not buying tickets had zero effect on your chances... I'll be delighted if everyone in front of me in the queue on Sunday is just browsing!

 

From my own experience, and from reading the experience of others, far from being snarled up, technically the new system worked pretty flawlessly (and yes, I was trying to get tickets, and no, I didn't get any). Roll on Sunday!

Where have you read this?
 

What is the insinuation here? They still sold the same amount of tickets so are you just saying that they mainly went to people who don’t have a social media presence?

 

Change browsers. 

 

Coachella pre sales 10+ years ago had queue it and the exploit  was there. They patched it after about 3 years. See doesnt know the issues til it works in real time. Thats the whole thing. You could simulate it but its not the same
