Carling Weekend/Reading/Leeds

Chronos-X · 2 Apr 2006 at 20:52

Guys,

Just a heads up on this, I know a few people want to go and I'm getting tired of the usual "oh I got my presale link from x.com" after the fact :rolleyes:

If anyone does get an early way into some tickets then do share after sorting yourself out

Itinerary for tomorrow is as follows:-

6:00pm 3 headliners announced
7:15pm Line up
7.30pm Tickets on sale

Ticket sellers should include some or all of the following

www.seetickets.com
www.ticketmaster.co.uk
www.gigsandtours.com
www.stargreen.com
www.aloud.com

Interesting 7:30PM release date, at least it means people don't have to disturb their work too much. Good luck for tomorrow and remember, if you get your act together when tix go on sale then no one need be without

Are there any restrictions as to how many tickets you can buy through any of the particular sites? I need to buy 3 or 4 or maybe even 5!

Cheers, I'll have a poke, I would go to Reading but its getting the money as I'm goin to download in the summer and then were going on a eurotrip, so money will be tight a free festival will be awesome, and getting paid even better, even if I do only get to see half of it.

holly35 · 3 Apr 2006 at 11:01

Got my money in my account, hope its enough, with the prices going up each year, Iv got just over £140, does anyone know the official ticket price for this year?

I cant wait!! Wonder how long they will sell out in? :eek:

Otacon · 3 Apr 2006 at 11:03

You dont get paid all of the money you would get paid goes to a chosen charity but at the end of the day your weekends pretty much coat nothing as you get to know the staff on the bars and your beer tokens can be used to trade for many things lol

I've already got tickets for v festival in staffs, but I'll sell them and get leeds tickets if the rumours about muse, audioslave, pearl jam etc.pan out.

Last year leeds was awesome, great atmosphere-and free beers on the monday morning! thanks to some friendly looters :confused:

_Jimlad_ · 3 Apr 2006 at 13:40

Otacon · 3 Apr 2006 at 13:44

Fairly consistent, though I'm sure they all just copy each other anyway

That's most of them. Not really my sorta scene. (www.e-festivals.co.uk)

Edit: Bleh, beaten

Glaucus · 3 Apr 2006 at 15:28

I shall be waiting to get toickets at 7:30 on the dot, whats the chance of there sever/phone lines getting overloaded.
Going to reading this year, always been to leeds before. Which sucks, cos I'm bound to get lost.

OneWingedAngel · 3 Apr 2006 at 15:36

whilst there will undoubtedly be a bit of a jam at first, reading tickets will probably not sell out on the first day, and leeds tickets usually take closer to two weeks to sell out.

You'll be late, then

Reasonable. They'll have some more powah ready to deal with the surge, but history dictates that it wont be enough. Especially with no Glasto. I wouldn't worry about missing out though, so long as you keep at it tonight.

Aye, I did the first time

Just follow the signs to the leisure center, and follow the traffic when you get there.

Pinhead · 3 Apr 2006 at 15:38

so what are the phones usually like to get through?
i am really really wanting to go to reading this year (never been to a festival before) and ill be sorely dissappointed if i dont get tickets....
