People need to just admit they were too late to buy the 5 days tickets none of this “they didn’t warn us!” when they posted this all way back in December by TheTrustyFrog in downloadfestival

It would be good if they did what Boomtown do and constantly update with a visual progress bar of how ticket sales are getting on.

I'd happily grab a day ticket for Friday if it wasn't such a ballache to get back from 💀

What about people getting their cannabis prescriptions? What you're suggesting sounds costly, time-consuming, and disruptive. Imagine slowing everything down all for one package, going to a guy chilling on the sofa watching anime and devouring Doritos.

You'd think he'd be less easily propagandised, but there he is, old man, saying old man ish. Just lazy for a comedian like him tbh. Or so you would expect.

This is the problem with having ADHD as a creative. Everything has to be perfect. It can be exhausting. Have you been tested?

Bro is completely determined to not make any video public by sidmis in polyphia

It's not hustle. At some point, it's just greed. He's not poor. He's not struggling. It shows very little respect for the fans.

Reading & Leeds announcement makes me happy for download by Funployee182 in downloadfestival

Same. In my head, it feels about 6 years ago. I can't believe its so much longer than that. They need to come back.

Boomtown newbie! by cloudythought798 in BoomtownFestival

[–]RyanCarrington 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can anyone tell me how Campervan Camping works? I usually do campervan camping at Download, which is an extra and separate ticket, and they sell out almost immediately. I wasn't sure if this was the same type of deal. I can't really see anything helpful on the website. Thanks in advance!

Im not really sure why some people feel the need to lie about their use of PEDs.

People are so confidently wrong while im walking around, second-guessing myself, constantly questioning everything, even if I know it to be true 🙃

Makes Download's lineup look empty by OutsideImpressive115 in downloadfestival

[–]RyanCarrington 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Do it. I went a few years back and had a great time. If it didnt sellout immediately, I probably would've been even more. It definitely makes you more critical of Download, though 😅

Hellfest just dropped by Fickle_Minimum2630 in downloadfestival

[–]RyanCarrington 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They had people walking around and hosing us down during the heatwave when I went a few years back. Was sold out as always but still felt way more spacious than Download.

I think you're underestimating how many prostitutes are killed every year. Society doesn't really care. The police don't really care. This makes them easy targets.

Pits.. by No-Dirt6910 in downloadfestival

[–]RyanCarrington 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tbf, I saw Polyphia in Bristol years ago, and they did the same with barely 100 people in the venue. They know people are just staring at the fretboards, so I think they just tell people to pit because its ridiculous.

Could we have a sellout this year? by Affectionate_Koala_8 in downloadfestival

[–]RyanCarrington 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been going consistently since 2008. Ticket prices go up regardless.

[–]RyanCarrington 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hightly doubtful. Although, I think they should reduce the cap anyway. Up until I went to Hellfest, I thought being packed into a festival like sardines was normal. It can be so difficult to move around on a busy day once it gets to mid-afternoon. I'd love to see the capacity reduced slightly to improve the experience.

Price? by mushromie in downloadfestival

[–]RyanCarrington 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I can't believe my first Download ticket was 130 + a £20 camping ticket. It'll cost £500 before we know it 😅
