Exactly,abysmal line up for actual music.
Remember this:
The sound system will be fine, it's the acoustics th l of the place that matter (don't know what that arena is like, although think I have been for a concert years agso did live near there for a bit - either that or it was a dream, or just seen it on tv so many times).

Bought a day tickets for the girl for bday/ she loves pink so hopefully will suffice. Annoyingly the Stafford ones sold out so we're trekking down to Chelmsford lol!

Hans Zimmer tickets are standard price, no 2 for 1. Although, for £ 44 each for C2 section in Wembley arena, they are good value for money. Hope the sound system is up for The Dark Knight, Inception and Interstellar..

Oh yeah, I remember now and I too have never experienced anything like that any other gig/festival - luckily we were slightly to one side and somewhat sheltered by a large tree, but all a bit hazy these days!!

i was about to get these for my 20 something niece and nephew but looking at the line up have totally changed my mind, even they would not like this. I was there for '97 and '98 which was fantastic but even for a 2for1 dont think i can go for this. Such a shame. Voting hot as its a good offer but freezing cold for the line up imo.

V Festival is honestly the worst festival I've ever been to. full of chavs and TOWIE wannabes. I went when the lineup was half decent too. now its the type of pop music you want to gouge your eyes out to. vowed never to return there after I got out of my tent one morning and there was a bloke shaving his chest with a bic razor. awful.

And you can get ripped off on a Virgin Train going there, get lashed on a Virgin Cola with rum, then end up in A and E run by Virgin Healthcare.
nrps1
12 May 171#94
I went for it. The music last few years has been really downhill for me too, but, inclusion of comedy, dance tents and the odd act here and there I think it's still worth it (when half price!)
It is worrying that they are halving the price though, never in the 12yrs I've been going has this been the case, they may be struggling perhaps? I remember desperately trying to get tickets at 9:30am or whenever it was on release day, I even bought a Virgin sim card to get pre sale after struggling for the first few years....
smilesking
12 May 171#92
Ah, the memories. I've been to at least one day of V Fest almost every year since 1996 but only Pink is at all interesting on this year's line up and not even tempted at half price. I'm not sure if it's just me getting old, or if music today really is rubbish (definitely me getting old then). What happened to guitars eh?

They're handling 2 for 1 in a strange way, didn't realise they had already halved the prices. Just convinced my fiancee to go thinking it was 2 weekend tickets for £98. :confused:

Last few times I went to V was to see the likes of oasis, stone roses, Eminem to name a few.
The last few years line ups have been dire to say the least.
Just rinse and repeat of last few years acts.
First time I've seen them stoop to 241 especially this early in the year.
All festivals are struggling these days, apart from Glasto, gone are the days when thy sell out immediately simply because £180 is a complete joke.
The Isle of Wight £50 day tickets should be the norm these days not the exception.

What the hell happened to V Festival. I remember seeing Muse, Pixies and the Verve there! And now this dross...
LondonTTB
12 May 172#71
I thought the same, and though I have never been, the general consensus is that the festival is looking a little worse for wear, and a lot of people within the festival / music scene didn't think much of the "headliner" acts. For me though, I love P!nk and at 2 4 1 it's difficult to turn down the chance!

This website is terrible. If you search for the thing you want it doesn't give the option for the 2 for 1 tickets you have to follow the links through. I put 2 in my basket and thought I'll see if there's anything else I want after adding more I went back to my basket. The tickets were removed, fair enough, but the link to get them again doesn't take me to the 2 for 1 offer so I have to go back to the start to add them again.
Point is you can't save on postage by buying two lots of tickets through this offer. You have to do separate orders. Fed off with messing about with it I've decided not to buy any!

Do you know if Micheal Mcintyre tickets are included?
I won tickets a few years ago from dominos and I honestly felt like an oap and it was rancid. Folks pooping behind metal containers as they couldn't be bothered walking 5 minutes to the toilet - never seen anything like it. RIP off prices for drinks but that's expected with festivals but just be warned - it takes a lot to shock me but here and Leeds fest are crazy
nothing displaying on the web page for me. Could you list the included shows here?
