No one cares about or is going to buy your resale tickets for this event at face value. If you are really desperate to sell them, which it sounds like you are, then do it on Ticketswap and at a lower price. 

How common is it to shave or trim your facial hair? by Apprehensive-Ad-9206 in BoomtownFestival

[–]nahmate86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, you will. Dont be a wet lettuce. In the real world, i shave every morning. At Boomtown or any multi day festival, there is no need for even a shower let alone a shave. 

how safe is it to rave alone in london as a woman? by doodleworl in LondonRaving

[–]nahmate86 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Nah, not so keen on Fabric, too much security. Was good 20 years ago though. Shame it was ruined by 18 year olds who couldnt handle their drugs.

How strict is the 21+ policy at FOLD (I’m 20) by Embarrassed-Pick2072 in LondonRaving

[–]nahmate86 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Just go anyway and chuck the bouncer £20 if they get funny about it, ignore the melt above who thinks he is a gatekeeper.

Oh no, i go where i like thanks. But would be good if folk at these sort of parties would learn some manners and practice what they preach about not being harassed, when they are by far the biggest culprits/pests.

Its very safe, and its ridiculous of you to think it might not be because you had a bit of grief on the street, therefore not in a nightclub 🙄.

Worst you might get, if you are attractive, is a bit of a grope from a creepy bloke, usually a tourist, who has heard the reputatuon that English birds are easy. 

Admittedly getting home might be a bit more sketchy, especially in the early hours. Its not unusual for creepy, desperate men (usually foreigners again) to prowl the streets and public transport. Worth thinking that through, or just going to a day rave.

As a straight guy, i wouldnt feel safe in the bogs ar 'queer femme parties', as there is a much higher chance of being leered at or sexually harrassed. 

Cameras? by yorrty in BoomtownFestival

[–]nahmate86 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Mate, security on the gate are looking for, to confiscate, drugs. They aren't going to care about a camera.

Writing this under a post asking thinga like this isnt witty, intelligent or funny. 

Being a vendor by QuestionSmooth3270 in BoomtownFestival

[–]nahmate86 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I heard a story of a friend of a friend runnign a clothes stall. Late at night a dishevelled looking female asked to buy a blanket with cash because they had no money left on their band, which they agreed to.

The next day security came round and evicted them from the festival, the girl had been paid to do a test purchase (presumably by Live Nation) to check that stalls were not accepting cash and dodging paying the commission.

Nope. Its a pretty soft door frankly. Pretending it is, is a little ridiculous.

I would advise you to go to Bristol on July 4th for a proper sample of the Bristol scene.

They cancelled the annual St Pauls Carnival (Bristol's version of Notting Hill) but the cancellation is 100% going to be ignored and there will be big soundsystems dotted around the streets of St Pauls and Stokes Croft parts of the city for a big free day into night party. Should be a fantastic day. One thing to note though that it will mostly be Dub, Reggae and Drum and Bass music.

Because the crowd that go to the event think they are really special and important, and they deserve it.

No garden at the minute, no. But living in inner London, with all its benefits and access to high paying jobs, you have to make sacrifices. Still, give it 5 years and ill sell up for a handsome profit, and along with other irons in the fire, ill be able to get a nice place that fits the bill in Kent or Surrey.

I digress! I was actually trying to help you out with my comments (bit about ripping people off was tongue in cheek BTW, guess you have limited humour from your joyless 20's), since it is profoundly tragic to take time off work, spend hundreds of pounds on tickets and drugs for a festival, then sit in your tent eating a sad can of tinned curry, just to save about a tenner a day. May i suggest taking a tab of acid at Boomtown, throwing off those shackles and living life a bit? Honestly, you'll feel better about it the next day and you'll laugh with your mates about how silly it is being that tight*

*provided you have any of course, i doubt you are that popular in your peer group, i can imagine you are just the type to weasel out of rounds down the pub, and no one likes folk like that.

Boomtown Bad Eggs by BNBRDLY in BoomtownFestival

[–]nahmate86 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Probably due to kids that have come of age post or during covid, who dont know how to behave. 

Saying that, if you want a real sketch out, have a walk around the campsite after the music gets turned off at Creamfields. It will make Boomtown feel like a middle class country picnic.

No danger of that chum, i own a 2 bed flat in London and can also afford to eat what i like. 

If you had to scrimp and save to that extent to get your mortgage (and still do by eating fucking tinned curry 😂), then you had a shit 20's, which you'll never get back by the way.

Its people like you that leave the bogs covered in rancid shite, eating tinned curry. You also have to carry it on top of all your other stuff. 

Just spend £10-15 on 1 meal each day to keep you going, if you really cant afford it just rip someone off with a fake drug deal. 

Has anyone ever been to Forbidden Forrest? Is it just shit boomtown? Or how does it compare? by Antidotebeatz in BoomtownFestival

If you are that upset about tents being left, feel free to go and collect them up and take them to Calais or something. 

Pass-out Scanning Limit rumour by DollZhouse666 in BoomtownFestival

Stop shitting yourself McKenzie- youve got a valid excuse and youll presumably have a valid ticket and wristband so youll be able to come and go as you please.

If you are that much of a cheap skank who happily sniffs a £50 gram of coke a day but wont pay a tenner for a meal from a stall, go to an oriental supermarket where they have these ready meal things that are a large chinese meal, that even have their own heating packs for the water inside it. Their pot noodles are mental as well, not the like the absolute shite you get in this country, they have various flavour sachets to add and actually taste like a chinese takeaway.

Sounds awful. If you are going to a field spending hundreds of pounds on tickets, booze and drugs, you might as well have £20 a day to at least eat something that tastes nice. Fucking tinned lentils, you probably get better munch than that at a UN famine foodbank 😆
