When you compare that lineup to how it was about 5 years ago it's sickening. Paying £35 quid more than back then for a fraction of the quality!

I suppose it's all about music tastes. I love most of the bands in the line up and I'm looking foward to a lot of the smaller bands that are confirming. Saturday will be the day for me. Muse are spectacular live and both the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and The Streets will be a riot.
Last year I spent most of my time "relaxing" anyway
Edit: I think a reading meet-up thread will be a good idea concidering many people don't have anyone to go with after the lack of tickets. I really need to find out if any of my friends got a ticket.

Just what happens over time I guess, they'll always try and appeal to the majority by booking whoever's currentlu 'in', and as you get over it's inevitable you lose touch a little.
Reading's pretty line-up independant I find anyway, the atmosphere will be the same, great one. Hell, you never have to look hard for people who buy tickets and barely, if ever go in the arena.

As the trollies roll past armored up with metal grating, off to battle accoss the plains, the fires rage and penetrate the night sky. I look to a friend, who is up a tree after drinking one to many cups of mushroom tea and say....
"I Love the smell of burning tents on a Monday morning"
Looking foward to Thursday (wednesday if I can be bothered to get an early pass) night. We tend to hunt out the just turned 16's and see if we can nick their beers. They are so desperate to fit in and all you have to do is pretend that you have something they can take and they treat you like gods.
They are the first tents to go
Edit: I'll see if I can blag some Jack Daniels this year. I always intend to add it to coke and take it into the arena but always use it up.

Reading Festival is so popular these days! It's unbelievable!
The first year I went (1997), the tickets were £65/70. My ticket was purchased by my mum from the local high street HMV shop literally the day before the event started! There was minimal corporate advertising, fewer people and less of an oppressive atmosphere from the organisers…
Has Reading diversified or simply sold out? It was something purely for the great unwashed in the past.
