For anyone who has been before, what do you reckon is the smallest amount of money I could take and survive on? Considering I'm planning to bring a lot of snacks and dry food type stuff with me

Hi, anyone know where I could get last minute Reading Weekend tickets? Do the official stockists ever get returns that they can sell on or something?

There's usually people selling them below face value but be aware, there's a lot of scammers out there. I don't think the official stockists get returns or anything.

Eminem and Alt-J seem to clash :frown:

Come on, Foals, surely?! :tongue:

My worst clash is Editors and Tribes, really stuck on that one.

I think someone has already mentioned it but follow Twickets on twitter, they often RT people who are selling tickets for face value or below.

If you go to Foals first then your friend may really enjoy it and not even mind about missing Imagine Dragons :tongue: The festival is next week, are you excited!?
NO
WHAT
NO
Imagine dragons and Foals clash? FFS. The two sunday bands I most wanted to see.
Happened last year with Proxies and Paramore as well. :colonhash:

I'm exactly the same, I need to get my tent, train tickets, food, drink etc. :tongue: I cannot wait though, I'm more excited for Leeds than I was for my family holiday. I'm not sure, I think Foals but I'm really excited for Eminem, Peace and Fall Out Boy. I don't really listen to Eminem or Fall Out Boy but I used to when I was younger. How about you? :smile:

I have done a five day festival on less than £30. I took loads of snack type food as well taking my own drinks.

If you intend to buy alcoholic drinks on site the amount you will need will go up dramatically, same with buying a lot of food. If you can get through most of a day on food you bring yourself and just buy an evening meal from the vendors then you won't need to spend a ridiculous amount.

I really like their new album too :biggrin: I'm looking forward to Green Day and SOAD, Green Day's set will be so long!

My friends who went last year said they don't really care about alcohol as long as you're not bringing in glass bottles which is brilliant as we're all underaged. I think me and two friends I'm camping with are bringing a box of wine and some vodka and maybe some lighter stuff so we've got enough to share with other friends too :smile:
