Festivals coming up

[j4]

Ely Folk Festival
The Oysterband are playing the Ely Folk Festival, on Saturday 12th July. The Ely Folk Festival cunningly sells day-only tickets, and even evening-only tickets for the Saturday evening, so it'd be entirely possible to just go to see the Oysterband, or (my preferred option) go for the whole of the Saturday. Anybody else up for this? Mail me if so...

Cropredy Festival
Cropredy is clearly a Good Thing(tm), but I've never yet managed to get there. It's possible to buy a Saturday-only ticket (£28.00), so I'm thinking of wandering down to Oxford on the Friday night, finding a friendly floor on which to crash, and then somehow getting to Cropredy the next day. Again, mail me if you're interested...

Glastonbury
I already have a ticket for Glastonbury, but am keeping an eye on Glastonbury forum and glastonbury in the hope that we'll find a spare one for hoiho. Is it true that they're not going to let anybody in who has a resold ticket? How in $deity's name are they going to know?

Ely Folk Festival

Yes, most definitely.
All day Saturday sound good.

Cropredy Festival

Very interested.
I haven't done Cropredy for years (since before I lived around thet way).

Glastonbury

Yes, yes, yes! Looking for ticket, sending out begging emails to all the Glasto-ites I know.
I'm sure I'll get one eventually.

Now, who wants to come with me to see Hawkwind at The Junction on 18 May?

What day of the week is that?

[hoiho.livejournal.com]

It's a Sunday.

Hmm, pencil me in. I'll see if rjk's up for it too, since he's the closet fan.

Hawkwind does seem to have a lot of them.

My name is August, and I like Hawkwind!

I like Hawkwind too! I've seen them live about 18 times... and I sometimes sleep in my 1988 tour tshirt. :-)

Right. I want to book tickets for Ely Folk Fest soonish -- how about if I book 4 tickets (you, me, sion_a, lnr, who are the only definite ayes I've had so far) and any latercomers will have to fend for themselves tickets-wise?

Cropredy -- I'll have a looksee if I can get cheaper tickets through the Fairport mailing list. sion_a, you said you were up for this one too, right? I want to book tickets sooner rather than later (though it will have to wait till after pay day now!).

Glasto -- August, I'm looking for a ticket for you as well. Do you want me to tell you first or act first (if only to send a "yes please!" email) if I see one? They tend to go in seconds, is all.

Now, who wants to come with me to see Hawkwind at The Junction on 18 May?

Oh, go on then. :) ("My name's Janet, and I've loved 'Quark, Strangeness and Charm' since I was a tiny teenager.") sion_a says he'd like to go too. Are you handling tickets for this one?

...

Much further in the future, who wants to come and see Keith Emerson & The Nice with me at the Corn Exchange on Wednesday October 8th? Tickets are a bit pricey (£25!), but I'm definitely going anyway.

Cropredy & Ely

Yes, book for me, please! Both, and.

Glasto Do you want me to tell you first or act first

Act first; the worst we (I) can end up with is a spare ticket, and that's wouldn't be much of a problem to get rid of.

Hawkwind Are you handling tickets for this one?

Yes; I'll do that, as soon as those possibly interested (Sion, rjk) confirm.

That's roughly what I figured.

[Hawkwind]

Like I said, sion_a does want to come. Or do you mean you want him to confirm it to you directly?

Some of this might be better taken to email. :)
