V-Festival tickets go on sale this Friday, anyone know what the price was last year for a weekend with camping?
V-Festival Ticket Price

Oh good! Another overpriced mediocre indie festival to pay an arm and a leg for and see some average bands.
Main reason I never go to V, lineups are usually too poor for my taste.
In all fairness, looks a lot better than the Isle of Wight this year. Neil Young headlining the Sunday - hahahaha!

On the plus side, it's another overpriced mediocre indie festival that'll keep everybody away from your ultra cheap wicked awesome too-cool-for-school festival.
No where did I mention any festivals I goto are "ultra cheap", they are all becoming beyond a joke now - unless you go abroad, but even then you end up paying more for obvious reasons.
You are right about the good bands staying away and hopefully going somewhere else though. Download is looking "ok" and Reading hasn't been announced yet so fingers crossed...

I managed to get weekend no camping for 145 inc booking fee. It was madness trying to get hold of them. I wish I had booked at the special time for last years goers at last years prices.

Bloc festie is pretty reasonable when you consider you get accommodation also. Line-up is awesome too...
You didn't say it anywhere. You said the festival I was going to is over-priced. If I like all the music there, then it justifies the cost. You say download's looking good, but from their website, the cost of that festival is £160 including camping. Admittedly you get an extra day of music, but if I hate all of the music on any particular day, then surely that makes that festival that you say looks "ok" over-priced?
I just don't like people calling festivals over-priced just because they don't like the music there.
I'd call them over priced because i remember paying < £100 for a weekend reading ticket which got me in on a wednesday without the extra cost!
nothing has changed enough to warrant the rate of price increase.. just greed.

If it's too expensive then they won't sell all the tickets - simple really...
That said things like public liability insurance are more expensive these days, so I'm not surprised the prices have gone up. Still there's only 1 or 2 bands on there that are any good so I doubt I'd go there unless I was being paid.
Yeah, how can one of the greatest living songwriters, respected massively by artists, fans and critics alike, with unarguably one of the best back catalogues of any solo artist in history, headline a UK festival?
I don't know what the state of the site was then, but V Festival's site is very well maintained, well staffed, and the best I've been to. When did you buy that? Were Mars bars 25p?

me and my friends have got ourselves about 15 extra tickets, they will sell for double/triple the price once sold out and a week or two before the gig starts

I can't use the words I'd like to as this is a family forum, but people like you really grind my gears
