I think it's a bit stupid selling them already, and I can't see too many people buying them yet.

Ya mean that they are going to hike up the prices again!?! :eek:

F-off! (although would be a handy money earner if I had the cash)

[Bosco]

Its a good way to scam people into buying tickets early.Those who had a class time at the weekend and have a bit of money will buy them and also does who left it too late this year and couldnt get a ticket will want to make sure they get one this year.Strange for people to be buying tickets to a music festival before any bands are announced,if they sell them out quick enough they wont have to bother booking any bands and can make a huge profit

[tetsujin1979]

Just a theory, but with the World Cup (hopefully) burning a massive hole in the collective Irish pocket next year, are they trying to recover as much as possible before everyone decides "sod Oxegen, I'm off to Germany"??

[Gareth]

I totally disagree on selling tickets before the lineup is announced. Would you buy a ticket to a show before you know who's playing? Would you pay for an item before you know what it is? Its exactly that. They are hyping the gig up!!

Are we supposed to be impressed by this? F F S

[gustavo]

i believe the phrase that pat shortt used in that song parodying "stan" in refernce to mcd and ticketmaster was
"robbin shower of b*stards"
which is about right.

[fosterdollar]

Think it was Jon Kenny but you're right there Ted.

[anto1208]

Agre with a lot of your choices but can't see all of them playing next year. How can wilt play now that Kerbdog are reformed and touring?

[Beavis]

Pearl Jam to headline ? :)
That would rule

[anto1208]

Oh dear god no!!!!!!!!!!! :eek:

thats the rumour going about , they would need a new album to tour im sick of the greatest hits tour seen it twice now

[Risteard]

How can wilt play now that Kerbdog are reformed and touring?
They play nearly all Wilt songs.

[Gareth]

They play nearly all Wilt songs.

Seen Kerbdog twice since they were back and they didn't play any Wilt.
I heard rumour that Battle was thinking about a Wilt reform (did they even break up.....) seeing as Kerbdog did so well!!

[Gareth]

So you're not going then no? :D

You can always hope!! :)

I think the people who are going to buy tickets this early are the poeple who are there for the fun rather than the music.

A few years back I spent the whole of Sunday in the pit and it was grand but I felt I missed something. The following year I didn't listen to any (well very little) music and had the best laugh ever.

Not koncking you or anything, but why not go camping with friends insetad? If Im going to part with e145, I want to see some great bands, I can get ****ed with my mates for a lot cheaper and have just as good a time. Saying that though, I wouldnt like to spend a whole day in the pit, you do miss out on stuff.

There's not many campsites around that allow 40,000 campers to get drunk and play loud music all night long. I just love the atmosphere of these fesitivals. Everyone's in such a good mood and is up for anything.

[CollegeTillIDie]

Can't understand why anyone would have bought tickets before knowing any of the bands that are due to play at it

[ccfcman]

i feel oxegen is a petty posers gathering these days, back when it was witness the real atmosphgere was there, now its full of D4/D6 brigade don't you know Oisin et al.

Agree with you here man, went to the taps at B10 to fill a bottle of water on the sunday morning this year at one tap there was a fella with a wee mirror shaving his little goatie and styling his hair, at another 3 women out with bottles of shampoo and conditioner washing their hair.
