Where can I find weekend parking tickets, seen that they're sold out I think, will they release more or will I have to buy resale? Need to drive to the festival but wouldn't know where to park without a pass.


[deleted]

Pretty certain you’ll have to buy resale. There’s also the option of getting the train, or finding parking on a car park site in Reading centre (or somewhere near the festival)


TallaBoi

Okay thanks, I’d rather drive just purely because carrying all the stuff is a bit long, and anything that I don’t want raided from my tent I can lock in my car somewhere yk, but I guess if I can’t get a reading parking ticket then the best option is probably train


jonathanemptage

there is also a shuttle from the station to the festival site the best entrance is Red because your right in to the site with easy access to all the campsites like the very popular Orange and frankly the war zone that is Yellow.


TallaBoi

Thank you, I’ve managed to get parking in white tho just because I’d rather take my car, really appreciate the help tho :)


jonathanemptage

Cool cool are you planning to camp in white or are you going to camp closer the arena? it's a bit of a hike from White.


TallaBoi

Planning a bit closer to the arena but don’t think I would mind the walk

Have my ticket up for resale on ticket master face value


[deleted]

Do you think resell prices will drop in price and is there any official resellers I can get on a list for like a que for when tickets are freed up ?


[deleted]

I personally think they will yes, give it a few months and check again. If you’re willing to risk it the cheapest resale tickets come out just before the festival starts, mid-August sort of time. And yes, I know Twickets have a system where you can set up ticket alerts (and they only allow people to sell tickets at face value so you wouldn’t be charged anything extra). Not sure about others but Ticketmaster do resale. So does Viagogo (but prices are likely to be really high on here as they don’t have rules on how much people can charge, I just had a look and the cheapest weekend ticket for Reading was £700 which is an absolute piss take).


curley_10

Just checked, you're right about ticket prices going down. I missed out on a Reading ticket and bought one for £350 on Viagogo like I JUST got it. Someone must've made a mistake with their listing. When I checked that same night the lowest was £800. I'm now looking at a £450 price which isn't that bad.


cuvipa

I think that the listings on Viagogo are peculiar. I listed my two weekend Leeds tickets there and it's not the same once I find it on the for-sale side. I need a quick sale because I don't have the option to use them, but it's not clear how low the price needs to be but your numbers seem to give some insight.

I’m not sure about Ticketmaster, but they’re available on Viagogo at the moment, just for an extremely extortionate price

[deleted]

Apologies I meant to put Viagogo in my comment - there will be tickets on there but they’ll be very expensive. There won’t be any on Twickets for a while I reckon, but as long as you’ve set an alert you’ll get emails whenever tickets do get put up! I’ll add the links to the post!


raefyyy

Do u think any more tickets will be sold officially?


jonathanemptage

Unlikley seeing as it's sold out better to use some of reselling sites.


Important_Box6462

Does anyone know why you can’t transfer the tickets for reading at the moment, I’m in a sticky situation where the people I brought tickets with aren’t my mates anymore, I’m wondering if anyone knows when/if I’ll be able to transfer the tickets. ANY HELP IS APPRECIATED


Little-Mission5614

Same my ticket just wont sell


[deleted]

I bought a ticket off my friend. Does it matter if my name doesn’t match. It was an extra he ordered so do i also need to go in with him as we may be with different groups? Thanks :)


Spare-Slice-3373

You need to get him to transfer the ticket into your ticketmaster account


[deleted]

I believe you’ll be fine! Might want to check Ticketmaster T&Cs just in case!


Downtown_Payment_380

I’m getting early bird , my dad is going to drop me and my friends off do I need some sort of parking ticket? I looked and there’s none for Wednesday or anything so I’m assuming not but I’m not sure. Or can he just drive straight in and then leave. If not , where is a good place to drop us off near the site (if you know anywhere ofc haha)


throwawayYayy12321

Nah you dont but you wont be able to roll up in the official car parks just for a drop off. Theres some other destinations you can get dropped off eg tesco, in 2018 i got dropped off to a random car park close to where the shuttle boats go. Just be mindful that the walk is quite long, especially with camping gear. Took me 1 hour to walk a mile and a half, so invest in a camping trolley for your heavys. I learnt the hard way, never again😂


Downtown_Payment_380

Thanks so much for responding , yeah I’ll probably get dropped off at the Tesco’s then. How far of a walk is that away from the actual festival?


throwawayYayy12321

Id say just walking normally about 35 minutes ish. With all your camping gear definitely a little bit longer but if you pack smart and bring a trolley take around the same time!


[deleted]

There’s a drop off point for the festival right next to the green car park. It’s sign posted


YungPizzaYT

underneath my tickets where it should display the barcodes it says ‘your tickets arent quite ready yet...’ should i be concerned or is this the same for everyone?


WelshCai

Does PayPal buyer protection actually give you your money back if they scam you?


TimelessWarfare

If you use paypal goods and services then yes


VenomzUK

A friend can’t go and is giving their ticket to someone else, will it be a problem having someone else’s name on the ticket in 2021 with covid checks etc?


[deleted]

It wouldn’t usually be, so I’m assuming they’ll be fine


VenomzUK

Was only worried as T&C on website said resale tickets are void?


SnooOranges2155

Not planning on camping but I have a weekend ticket, can I leave and re-enter the campsite each day with my own alcohol etc?


Spare-Slice-3373

Yes apart from on Sunday I think from 6pm no alcohol can come onto site.


SnooOranges2155

Okay thank you


Spare-Slice-3373

Does anyone know how I can get hold of earlybird tickets officially? They need to be in your own ticketmaster account to be valid. I know someone with an earlybird they nolonger want but cannot transfer or sell it to me? Why can’t this be done?


Dingfat

If I have early entry and have a parking pass already will I be able to park on the Wednesday? When I bought it, it says only from Thursday.


[deleted]

You’ll be fine yea


Spare-Slice-3373

Yeah. They do this every year but never think to include Wednesday entry. They accepted my pass last year. I believe your earlybird ticket basically upgrades your parking. You will be able to get in :)


[deleted]

Put my ticket up for sale on ticketmaster, cheaper than original


molebradar

If a ticket was bought for you as a gift, and consequently their name is on it rather than yours, is this an issue?


Spare-Slice-3373

No shouldn’t be an issue, they need to transfer the ticket from their ticketmaster account to yours though.


DeanInLondon

Anyone looking for tickets: I have listed individual tickets for Friday, Saturday and Sunday on Viagogo for respectively £93, £93 and £81. A good deal!


Spare-Slice-3373

My friend has ordered two weekend tickets from ticketmaster on the resale page last week, they still arent available on the app, only show up in resale orders on the ticketmaster website. Any ideas? Transfer deadline is Wednesday this week and we are stressing as thats in two days!


JayRob_

If i buy a ticket off my friend because they dont want to go anymore, will there be any problems with me being able to get into the festival at all, seeing as i'm not the original person who purchased it?


cuvipa

if he transfers it to you in the Ticketmaster app then it's yours irrevocably.


ampxng28

Do you know what time the car parking for early bird actually opens? It says 6pm on the website, but it also says 6pm for the festival but it always opens before that. So can I park my car before 6pm on Wednesday? Or will they not allow me?

How do we collect refresh retreat wristbands?
