Re: Download 2012(Original post by ManBeast)
I would probably explode if Soundgarden is the third headliner, been rumored for the last two years and desperately need a trip to Europe next summer.
Same. I hope they announce it soon, I'd cry if I missed out on SG. I'm not a major fan of the others, but Metallica are supposedly amazing live and it sounds like a blast (though lars is lazy) and I appreciate how influential Black Sabbath are...pretty sure SG were big fans... -

Re: Download 2012this true, if so source? the rumours I saw on the last fm event page were that van halen was playing.(Original post by hobo06)
Prodigy headlining the Friday!
The undercard will have to be piss poor to stop me going now!
If prodigy is true, I don't like them, so it blows. I want to see black sabbath SO SO SO SO SO much, but at £180 a weekend ticket I need some other acts I WANT to see, instead of ones I would see if I was there but am indifferent to either way.
Looking at last years line up it was awful. Alice Cooper, SOAD and The darkness would be the only ones to interest me, and I still wouldn't pay to see them on their own, only if they were support acts.
As said earlier they need someone like Maiden, Priest, Motorhead, Slayer, Porcupine Tree to seal the deal for me.
WHY COULDN'T SABBATH HAVE PICKED BLOODSTOCK?

And Prodigy's website I think.
The only time it has sold out (the last time Prodigy played actually) they increased the capacity and released more tickets. The capacity is now even higher (up to 120,000, maybe 130,000 can't remember). They'll release an initial batch, and then increase up to the maximum accordingly. Should be fine.(Original post by MutantGecko)
does anyone think it will sell out? i can't afford my ticket for a few weeks and I'm soooo worried it will sell out

Re: Download 2012They have new album out next year, it's their only UK show for the year and they will be debuting some tracks off the new album.(Original post by ManBeast)
Awww not The Prodigy. Already saw them at MK Bowl and they haven't done anything new since then so no point really seeing them twice. Hope the second stage headliner is decent and might get a weekend ticket... -

Re: Download 2012You could last year, can't remember when they went on sale though. They also increased the arena capacity to add more day tickets as it was selling out. And continued to sell day tickets at the box office over the weekend, where every day eventually sold out (weekend/camping was also sold out). So I wouldn't be surprised to see them sell out earlier this year if they can pull out an awesome line up. I don't think they have much more room to expand, they already added an extra campsite last year, which without expanding the arena, limits day tickets.(Original post by fnm)
Headliners are pretty good! Won't be going though, hoping Soundgarden will be playing Sonisphere. Just wondering, can you get day tickets for Sonisphere?Last edited by hobo06; 22-11-2011 at 15:45. -

Re: Download 2012Yeah, so I've heard. Should be good! I really like those guys and have yet to see them live.(Original post by hobo06)

Not to mention Sabbath!!! And Metallica too. Definitely considering this. -

Just wondering, tickets for Soni are usually sold on ticketmaster right? I've never personally bought tix myself online before, but I will if SG are announced. I take it that's quite a reliable trustworthy site? -

Re: Download 2012I remember I booked mine directly through the Sonisphere website - can't remember if it was a ticket vendor system integrated into it or not. But you can be sure booking directly through their website will be reliable and trustworthy. Other sites will probably be selling them, Ticketmaster and Seetickets are 2 of the biggest, both very trustworthy, most major festivals and gigs will sell through them, as well as some smaller ones. There will most likely be a list of websites the organisers have allocated tickets to sell when the tickets go on sale. If the website isn't listed on the Sonisphere website, I wouldn't touch it. Tickets will be the same price on all sites, but delivery and booking fees may vary.(Original post by fnm)

Re: Download 2012 Announcement Tonight!Got my weekend ticket Already. I've seen Metallica twice and they've been awesome both times (and the Black Album live? **** yeah!), and Black Sabbath is making me so exicted I'm in constant need of new pants. I severely hope Tony Iommi doesn't suffer from his cancer and is unable to play
It really hit me hard to hear.
