Trumpet Posted 5 March 2008 Posted 5 March 2008 Good stuff, was shitting myself, as I only had about £170 for the rest of the month, to play with like. But I get paid on the 28th March I believe, which is a god send! Leeds '08, its happening. Camp Foxestalk. Yellow. RATM. Come on!!!!!
AoWW Posted 5 March 2008 Posted 5 March 2008 Who else is planning on going to Reading? Should have a FT meet up.
James. Posted 5 March 2008 Posted 5 March 2008 Who else is planning on going to Reading? Should have a FT meet up. Are you wimping out of Exit?
AoWW Posted 5 March 2008 Posted 5 March 2008 Are you wimping out of Exit? Nope, not really - I'm planning on going to Exit and Reading if possible. Haven't got my head around getting organised for Exit at all yet, though.
frenzal Posted 5 March 2008 Posted 5 March 2008 Has anyone been to Sziget? I'm torn between that and Exit. http://www.strummercamp.co.uk/id1.html - is worth checking out too. Cheap and cheerful.
Joe. Posted 5 March 2008 Posted 5 March 2008 Damien, any idea when ticket prices will be released? I'm just praying we can get tickets for Leeds, can't wait.
Trumpet Posted 5 March 2008 Posted 5 March 2008 Damien, any idea when ticket prices will be released?I'm just praying we can get tickets for Leeds, can't wait. They'll be about £160 I reckon, best bet is to just put £200 aside.
Joe. Posted 5 March 2008 Posted 5 March 2008 They'll be about £160 I reckon, best bet is to just put £200 aside. Yeah my guesstimate from what I've been told was about £170. Just wondered when prices actually officially get released.
filbertway Posted 5 March 2008 Posted 5 March 2008 Not sure when prices are released to be honest, but yeh if they go up by £10 again, it should be £155 plus a tenner if you want early entry. I'm gona keep about £180 back.
Shrenchel Posted 26 March 2008 Posted 26 March 2008 Tempted by Benicassim, any feedback? Heard only good things. Think I'm gunna reach Melt in Germany and Dour in Belgium this year. Maybe Gatecrasher Summer Soundsystem as well if I got the cash.
James. Posted 26 March 2008 Posted 26 March 2008 Exit line up starting to trickle through Sex Pistols MIA Primal Scream 2 Many DJ's LTJ Bukem amongst others. Loads, loads more to come. Looking good!
filbertway Posted 26 March 2008 Posted 26 March 2008 Leeds and reading prices are official. I'm happy with this Voted Best Live Events at this year's NME Awards, The Reading & Leeds Festivals will be going on sale with tickets on Monday 31st March at 6:45pm. Weekend Ticket with Camping £155 Early Entry £10 Day Ticket £65 Locker £15 Campervan £10 http://www.readingfestival.com/news/
Shrenchel Posted 26 March 2008 Posted 26 March 2008 How can anyone be happy paying £155 for a festival?!?! That's a ridiculous amount of money, especially as when you get there they'll probably charge you about £4 for a pint of warm carling and £7 a burger. British festivals take the piss worse than football in terms of prices.

British festivals take the piss worse than football in terms of prices. Say £10 a band. I saw around 20 bands last year, so theres around £200's worth. Then there's the actual experience of being there. I think it's fair. And if you're rich enough to pay £3.40 a pint or £4 for a burger the lucky you. Five days entertainment for £155 is fine for me. Are you SUAS in disguise?

Obviously if you work it out per band it's not horrific value, but if you look at how much a festival used to cost the organisers are clearly having a fooking giraffe. Glastonbury has gone up almost 100 quid in 10 years, reading and leeds something similar. You telling me that's inflation geez? Festivals in Europe like Exit, Dour, Mysterland, Melt etc etc all still charging about 60 odd quid. Brits getting fleeced again but still putting their hand in their pocket.

Brits getting fleeced again but still putting their hand in their pocket. House prices, bags of chips, cigarettes, alcohol, bread, milk. It's life. People pay that much because they can (mainly students like myself i suppose) with more disposable income. Everything goes up in price.

lildave3 Posted 30 March 2008 Posted 30 March 2008 A day till leeds ticks go on sale I'd die of laughter if you didn't get them.
filbertway Posted 30 March 2008 Posted 30 March 2008 I'd die of laughter if you didn't get them. Please don't die.. Cahzzar!
Joe. Posted 31 March 2008 Posted 31 March 2008 Killers announced to headline Reading and Leeds. They're the only ones confirmed currently. I'm fearing the other two will be shit if rumours are to be believed...
