Rumour doing the rounds that IMRO are kicking up a stink about unpaid royalties and are threatening to a) pull their acts (boohoo) or b get the festival cancelled :eek:
Anyone hear anything about this? And can a crowd like IMRO actually do that?

Sunday papers were saying ticket sales haven't been good for this year.
Nowhere near sold out (sold out in April last year IIRC).
Its not cancelled POD released a statement saying that IRMO want money off them ( above what they have allready paid the bands ) and for non music acts , POD agreed to pay it but IRMO but they refused to accept it and its going to the high court.
Anyway its still on anyway but i would think ticket sales are way down out of the 20 or so of us that went 2 years ago 2 of us got tickets this year ( about 15 went last year) everyone else is unimpressed with the line up i would think a lot of people are thinking the same since its gotten so big its lost its magic.

tickets that have been released are sold, they always hold some back and sell in blocks. They will go on sale closer to the gig. I think it is seriously over priced anyway. I only live about 20 min away and wouldn't bother camping. Still 240 for the line up isn't worth it at all.Quote:

Seriously dissapointed in Picnic this year
But you have to factor in the fact that, there is a hell of a lot more idiots at Oxegen and the majority of security are nothing more than ignorant thugs.Quote:
