No lad I'm not. I've gone to every picnic for the last 6 or 7 years and I've never gotten a ticket more than a week in advance. Genuine question, save your bull****e.

Welcome back to normality!! I'd say the horror is firmly setting in!!

Yea noticed the wolf Alice crowd on TV, it'll be mayhem if they don't play the main stage at the EP!

They were outstanding, I wasn't expecting it. I'd love to see them outside of a festival setting.

If you've been for the last 6-7 years then you'd know that times/days don't get released till the week of the festival..

I go, I show up, I enjoy music. I do not look at days or times in advance. I have a simple question, as this year I want to see one act. If you cannot answer the question just move along. It's simple.

If you've ever been to the Picnic before then you'd know they only do Sunday day tickets. And even that hasn't always been the case (it use to be weekend or nothing)

The band you want to see are playing on the Saturday at 1pm, main stage.

Teddington Cuddlesworth

Did my first EP last year, it was only a day ticket but loved it. Looking forward to a full weekend this year.
Anyone stayed in the posh camping?
Herself, her sister, and I booked a 4 man yurt and not sure what to expect. The two of them are seasoned festival goers but this is the first time they'll be going that they don't have to set up a tent.

MadYaker

But the festival is totally sold out.

Check the bands website, they may have the date listed (some do).
Then look at toutless to see if there are tickets available for the Sunday if that's the day they are playing or the weekend if they're not playing on Sunday.

Do this closer to the time when prices have settled and more people are looking to sell.

That's the best you're going to get.

Next!

Band have the entire weekend listed, I'm not thick, you're just a horrible bunch of unhelpful prats.

And above ^^ this festival is never really sold out, you can always get tickets.

Are you sure? You seem to be pretty thick.

Mr Supervery is right we are a horrible bunch of unhelpful prats. shame on all of us.
Times not released til the week of the festival. We apologise for not being able to give more information than that YOUR MAJESTY. Is there anything else we can do for you YOUR MAJESTY?

scruff monkey

Lads, lets not give in to feeding trollish behaviour, there's going to be a lot of them in the run up.

Rfrip

Back on topic....getting really excited about lcd soundsystem after all the Glastonbury reports

Disappointed by them at Primavera. Mix of lack of energy in the performance and from the crowd.

Careful now.:P

Found them to be alright at Primavera. I've never been big into them though.
They were nice, good to nod along to.

Do you expect to pay a premium or face value price? The reason i ask is that one of our crew needs a ticket and i'm wondering what the best strategy is to pick one up for him.

Daily check on Toutless is your best bet.

Judging by the Facebook page there seems to be a lot of 'worst lineup EVER!!' type comments so when Beyonce & Kanye are not named in the next announcement i'd imagine quite a few tickets will become available.

i GUARANTEE you'll get a ticket the week of the festival below face value. just be patient and don't panic buy! i'm actually thinking of selling my ticket now and buying back under face value

Synode

I'd normally agree but I wouldn't be so sure this year georgiecasey. It sold out far, far earlier than the last number of years.

You might, but you'll have to be lucky. I don't think everyone that wants one will get one

Really? You'd want to get one far far cheaper than face value to be bothered surely. What's the point in dealing with all the hassle?

Speaking of which 65 days of Static would be a cool act to book.
