theres 10quid i wont see again
An extra £10 for getting there early!? What’s the point? Surely they’ll be making more money out of food/drink/merch sales on Wednesday and Thursday then ripping off their customers an extra £10. Money grabbing bastards.
Hellfest rapes Download.
So we now have to pay to get in early on thursday too?
Robbing fuckers >(
That pretty fucking gay. The sad thing is, plenty of people will pay the extra fee. Including me
It’s rediculous. “Same as last years prices”… NO IT IS NOT. Last year it was £175 including booking fees and camping, this year it will be £185 to have the identical items. I believe that’s false advertising?
Oh well, fuck Download 2010, it’s all about Hammerfest and Bloodstock.
An extra 10 quid just for getting there early!?
That’s shit!
Surely people who show up early deserve to be rewarded for doing so!
An extra 10 quid to get there early and spend extra money on their merch and food?
What a load of bullshit…
Also I hate the fact that they expect people to buy tickets at this price when they haven’t even announced one band.
Download is turning into a a bit of a con isn’t it…
surely it should be an extra £10 for arriving late :S arriving early should be rewarded, wtf?
Download is crap compared to Bloodstock. I know where I’ll be going (again)
Thats a bit steep, but i’m going none the less, booze, mud and music, throw in a gorgeous woman and you’ve got PARADISE XD
No point in even buying a ticket until i see some bands, comon download throw us a bone here,bloodstocks done it and thats futher away.
Hellfest for me
much as i enjoyed Driver and a couple of others at download, Hellfest was a much better festival last year.
the country`s in recession, so lets charge an extra tenner for getting there early and spending more money there?
and no band even mentioned yet?
hahahaha
I agree, that is bullshit. But fuck Download, WACKEN, hellfest, bloodstock for me next year!
Personally I think the £10 charge is fair enough (although obviously I’d prefer it not to be there
). For those 2 days extra camping thats 2 days of extra staff, land rental, portaloos, police etc. And compare it to regular non-festival camping which can be like £20 a night, this is £10 for 2 nights and its motherfucking Download
how do they expect me to pay for my tickets early when i havnt seen the lineup?
I might end up seeing fallout boy and MCR, and nobody wants to pay nearly £200 to see that shit
Stop whining!
Downloads always going to be amazing no matter what!
Roll on 2010!
what’s the point in moaning about the prices, if your not happy with it, don’t go! simple.
Ordered my ticket!!!
Its the 30th anniversary, so i you know its going to be special!
This will be my first download, i’m well gutted i missed download ‘07, none of my friends wanted to go, but they started going in ‘08, and i didnt want to go cos the line up wasnt that great, same with last year.
