Got tickets along with some friends now. Means I can't do Boomtown, as that, then this, then Burning Man in three consecutive weekends would be mental, but think Beautiful Days is more my thing at the moment anyway.

All aboard the 303 bus.
Yeah I will be going from camping in norfolk, to boomtown, to BD, and to shambala for 4 consecutive weekends. Im a bit scared
If i do bimblebandana to, ill end up doing SGP----> Bimble----->Norfolk------>Boomtown -------> BD ---------> Shambala. And then be shattered back at work on the tuesday.
Theres much worse ways to spend a summer though

I refuse to accept anyone can be as well organised in the festival stakes as you William. You're a festival attending machine.

Yep, not been since 2006. Changed much?
More unchanges than changes really ... site, punters and music. Otter Ales still very popular!
The main bits are still the same, there has been a bit of changes around where the little big top is. Also increasingly over the years (as numbers have increased) the car parks have got slightly further away and the main camping areas are now out on the way to the car parks. The original camping site next to the main stage is still there but noty as popular, probably because its a bit more of a party area so not great if you have little kids or like sleep.
Notice on the main website saying that tickets have virtually sold out, so anyone who was planning to buy should do so ASAP.
On the BD site, I just found the notice dated 5 April saying 75% had sold out, has there been a different update since then then?
I'll warn my brother and nephew again anyway, just in case.

Its buried in this thread on the forums:

Scroll down to post # 17 from the 21st April.
And the tickets have all sold.
Really early this year, not sure why. I know its the 10th birthday but I can't see that they're planning anything particuarly special, the line-up is also pretty average as well. Either its the hords of Frank Turner fans or word has spread about how good the last few years have been.
Just praying for some dry weather, any predictions William?

no glastonbury, innit? (i believe, don't keep track of it any more myself)
Secret Garden Party sold out much quicker than ever before this year & I think Bestival, Boomtown & Beat-Herder are all getting fairly close. But these are all events with rapidly growing reputations and are also probably benefitting from the one-festival-a-year-crowd having a year off Glasto.
Interesting. Yet I see that Reading, Leeds and T in the Park have not sold out yet, you'd think they would be the main beneficiaries of no glasto. Times they are a changing.
Bollocks!!! 
on the selling out QUITE so quickly as that ... 
My nephew and brother aren't nearly as festival-booking-organised as us .... perhaps they'll attempt to secure tickets by a later backdoor route ... <ponders>

Well it's consideably chillier and wetter now, in late April, than it was this time last year (it was 25C and wall to wall sunshine then) so make of that fact what you will ....
Look out for later-available tickets on EBay (etc) as well??? ---- where there's a will there'll be way .... good luck
