AoWW Posted 5 March 2008 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frenzal Posted 5 March 2008 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trumpet Posted 5 March 2008 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe. Posted 5 March 2008 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filbertway Posted 5 March 2008 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filbertway Posted 26 March 2008 Share 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/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrenchel Posted 26 March 2008 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Weekend Ticket with Camping £155 Early Entry £10 Day Ticket £65 Locker £15 Campervan £10 http://www.readingfestival.com/news/ Regardless of what Shrenchel says i'd consider that pretty good value for money, Yeah you get overcharged while your their on beer, food, e.t.c, but thats not really the organizers faults its the sellers of the beer, food, e.t.c (Although you could say it was the organizers fault perhaps charging them too much for their stall plot ) I'd rather spend £155 for that than £155 (+ £200+) on a Leicester season ticket, £3 for cat-piss lager, and £2.50 for a cold pie, which no doubt i'll be paying anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe. Posted 31 March 2008 Share 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
