I bought ticket about a month ago but the email says they will arrive about a week before the festival. How come you got yours so early

Not sure. We got Early Bird tickets so they might have been sent early.I bought ticket about a month ago but the email says they will arrive about a week before the festival. How come you got yours so early
Are they selling tickets through more than one outlet this time? Last year (or was it the year before) one ticket agency was dispatching them on demand, i.e. as people ordered them, the other was waiting until a week before the festival.I bought ticket about a month ago but the email says they will arrive about a week before the festival.

It's pretty expensive so I imagine sales will proceed at a modest speed (is my guess, based on last year's pace of sale anyway).

We gots our tix. Didn't bother last year (we seem to go every other year) which having read the comments I was glad about, so I hope it's better run this year. Line up is too good to miss this time though.

I am going to try to see some music this year, rather than being Mr Twatted for five days straight
My birthday falls Big Chill weekend every year and I get a little chemically enthusiastic. This year it's on the Thursday, when we have a barbeque and then get stuck in
Thank fuck for Basement Jaxx, and not effing Leonard Cohen this year,
and Congo Natty
and Spiritualized
and Kode 9
and Max Romeo
and Orbital
and laying about

more tea vicar?
fingers crossed I should be working big chill this year... only taken me like 10 years to finally make it, still got some arm twisting to do, but I reckon I should be there
also, if anyone's looking for volunteer work for big chill to get them in, I'm managing network recycling's staff and volunteers for the summer, and we've uppped our volunteer numbers by 50 this year to 200, so there's a fair few places still going on that one (litter picking / recycling etc)...
bit hardcore on the hours at 20 hours total shifts, but there's the option of doing 2 of them on the monday, or 1 on friday and one on monday so you only do 2 through the main festival, and I believe the volunteer stewarding is the same number of hours, but less option for working outside of the main festival time... </plug>

You can say that again. It was so chilled, it sent me to sleep. Ran away at top speed and watched Frightened Rabbit instead.
Leonard Cohen was the highlight for me last year. I'd never been interested in him but went to see him out of curiosity and just got blown away by him.
I'm very much looking for to this year though

Alright, got a ticket reserved if I want to work it.
Should I/Shouldn't I?
It's not too poncey is it? The line up looks absolutely fucking sick, but the train line at the moment is a bit shite, surpised it's going to take 2h from near Bath/Bristol but hey that's life I guess. They chip you £25 towards travel costs if you work it, too! Nae bad...
No monsoon rain expected right? Bah I need to make up my fuckin mind!

That depends on your idea of poncey, but really it's not that bad. Sunday can be a bit naff - a lot of ppl seem to go just for that day and there are noticeably more families and kids there, but mostly that's in the afternoon.It's not too poncey is it?
Weather forecast looks ok, the line up is ace. Go!
