As good as ever, but I just canāt justify the costs .
Looks great
Hmm normally there are at least 4 or 5 acts Iām super excited about, and while Iām sure everyone will be amazing, I only really want to see Richard Dawson from this initial lineup. Think that plus the accommodation costs mean weāll probably skip this year.
Yes!
Why donāt people just stay somewhere one stop further along from Utrecht in one of the places which has trains which run late, like Driebergen-Zeist or Ede-Wageningen? Makes a lot more sense than looking at Amsterdam.
Hmm. Itās fairly decent but not a huge amount of surprises or acts you canāt see doing the rounds elsewhere. Not much FOMO about this one, which makes me feel a bit better!
Bit annoyed the Autechre/Forest Swords shouts were duff predictions, good job I didnāt get on Betfair for that @tattybye
Ede and Driebergen are good shouts - didnt consider this. Guess hotels will be much cheaper.
I think the line-up is a bit of a mind-bender this year, so much stuff Iād never see anywhere else and so much completely new to me.
Oh sure, but I donāt think it has many notable anchor acts at the moment thatād push anyone but hardcore goers over the edge to spend (whatās now) a considerably huge amount of money. Thereās a good amount of stuff, but I donāt feel any pangs for not being able to go.
Yes, I remember the cost and realise you are totally right!
Well Sunday sounds good to me and Iād be tempted to pop over for a few acts on the Saturday too. Right letās see if I can justify it too this year then.
Iām trying to find a way if you can see the live departure boards from Utrecht Centraal for a chosen time. Thatād be best, then you can see the different places that have late night connections.
To be fair, Utrecht is very well connected so thereāll be lots of options, itās just that most people wonāt consider them.
You could even rent a bike and end your night with a trip back to Houten or Maarsen. Plenty of people do that regularly as their commute and cycling is so easy and safe.
I normally just use the Trainline website/app to work it all out, but guessing you are after something more specific.
I mean specifically trying to find places you can get to by train from Utrecht Centraal, so you can book accomodation there, save money and not have to rush to catch last train.
For getting around Utrecht with public transport, 9292 is the best site / app by far.
If I donāt manage to get a ticket in a few minutes, can I buy one off you?
I have two to sell, and ideally would sell them both together, but yeah I think we could probably work something out.
I managed to buy day passes since the full tickets were sold out, only for the full passes to go on sale again. Turns out there was a bug in the system when they went on sale, and lots of other people had the same issue. Theyāve been telling people to email them. Fingers crossed they will swap my day passes for a full festival pass.
Has anyone ever sold an LGW ticket on TicketSwap? It seems to want me to upload PDFs of the tickets but I can only get the PDFs if I give my name to print on them, which is a bit confusing.
