Just taken a punt and spent £608 on a ticket for Download 2021.

Do we think festivals should be all good again by next June?
A single ticket ?

Christ on a bike. I went to that a few years running when it was called Donington Monsters of Rock.

Must be RIP. You stay in a separate,.smaller camp site with far better amenities, a shorter walk to the arena and you can park the car next to the tent so setting up and tackling down is a doddle.

I did it in 2015 and 2016 and whilst it's more expensive (it was about five hundred quid at the time) it's worth the additional outlay I can assure you.

Although I'm not adverse to slumming it either, and will be doing so at Bloodstock next year - bought a ticket this morning.

Yep, have done RIP 2018+2019 and its worth the extra to not have to lug everything 3 miles through the mud...

Annoying im sure it was only just over £500 i paid for this year which got refunded, but couldn't transfer to 2021 as my email address has changed!


I guess they need to charge more to offset the loses of this year frown

I don't know, but the packages for 3 night in the nearby Hilton and transport to the festival is just over £1K eek

Costly enough, they jack the prices up for the weekend, Thursday to Monday for next year's festival, the Radisson is a grand for two people, you'd have your festival tickets on top of that, about £200 each for arena only.
