Yep, that was the one - thankfully I was out of there first thing Monday morning so didn't have to put up with that as well.

Count yourself lucky, we were at 4 hours. And we were thanking our lucky stars - just as we were passing by one of the emergency exits, it was opened up, and we slipped out.

If we hadnt been there at the right time, we'd probably still be there now

I feel like a numpty, google autofill put my initials down as my first name for my weekend + early access orders, hope my card doesnt get refused

Pass so you can get in on Wednesday - a day early. Night night, pick of the campsite (yellow rocks on j00). More festival goodness, though Thursday can be a but boring

So i can come down wednesday?... or do i need an extra pass for this ?

Haven't heard from a single person who managed to get thru on the phones.

If anyone knows of any sites with tickets left, lots of my flatmates would be most grateful

Acutally come to think of it they open some kind of exit up and thats how we got out.

Cowboys.

Last year wasn't too bad nor was 2003

You need an early entry pass to get in on Wednesday. Normal folk have to wait until at least 8am on Thursday

Nor any of mine that I know of yet.

edit - will there be another 'batch' of them coming out or is this the entire lot?

OneWingedAngel · 3 Apr 2006 at 21:43

There will be another allocation of tickets in a few weeks, so don't worry if you didn't get a ticket now, plus i'm sure there will be those who have overbooked/can't get time off etc.

Also I don't think there was an option for car parking at leeds - can someone else confirm this?
