I think the Lord of the Flies comparison is very apt.

I really don't need you to try to tell me 'how it is' at a festival, particularly one i've been going to for over a decade. In fact it smacks me that people such as yourself who condone and make excuses for people setting their own shit on fire and generally being 'cRaZyYyY' are exactly the types who have led to this type of shit being common place and deemed in any way acceptable. |
agreed. i've only been two years, and im only 17 now.
i've never set fire to a tent (mine or anyone elses or torn down a telegraph pole like the events in leeds) however, i find myself questioning whether i should put myself at risk a further sunday night there.
There are dicks about my age that think they are God and i see people on here thinking that there should be a over 25's section but thats just harsh.
i don't want to be forced to live with the mistakes of my generation and please believe there are some fairly polite 17 year olds there  |

| I think I'm going to pitch fireproof tents to the Dragons. There's obviously stacks of money in it. |

A few middle class kiddies lighting big fires and people start screaming armageddon- God knows how y'all would cope in a war or summink.

Yes, because Lord of the Flies was actually a story of world war...
Face it, despite you not having seen this, it appears it's prevalent, you're wrong and every time you come back on you just make yourself look more of a muppet by carrying on arguing against it. No one is screaming armageddon, people are just saying it's shit people feel the need to act like cunts and spoil other people's festivals and yet, for reasons unbeknown to anyone but yourself, you're intent on claiming this isn't the case because you've been a grand total of twice, and know better than everyone. Which makes you sound like something of a cock. |

I genuinely worry when people's role models are Pete "Might Aswell Inject A Passed Out Girl" Doherty and Kate "About As Much Meat On Me As A Chicken Nugget Skaghead" Moss.

Post your (non) progress on here and wait for Pete to get through to the right screen and book your tickets for you.

Hahahaha. That may work, although i'm not about to front someone for a Reading ticket.
Other advice for future years would be buy your tickets the day after the festival - they always put a load on sale for the few days after and it's easy to pick them up and saves all the hassle come Spring.
As this is rather useless now, I'd suggest keeping your eyes on efestivals forum and what people on there are doing. They normally find sneaky back end links that bypass the screens that are getting clogged. There are often special NME offers or some such that don't attract the traffic the normal links do. |

| Do they still sell tickets at the gate? Me and my now ex went down without tickets a few years ago and just queued for a couple hours on the Thursday and bought weekend tickets from the box office, even though they always said there will be none to buy there were that year. |
