Thanks Ian!

Just before I book accommodation - are we locked into the Cineworld Leicester Square as usual for the August event?

[iomega]

Yes we are. Five screens this year.

Is it a new ticketing site? I was gonna check my log in details worked fine for tomorrow, but the link says the site isn't live yet.

They are using Eventive this year.

The fastest purchase yet! Got my ticket at 12.01

I guess the ticketing site already had my details because it kinda just went through instantly and was like here's your barcode. I was legit like, wait did I pay?!?

I'm a bit confused by weekend passes and day passes being in the same screen.

To give an extreme example, if 700 people went in and booked Friday day passes the moment tickets went on sale, would no weekend passes be available to anyone, even if nobody wanted day passes for Saturday, Sunday or Monday?

Or were there designated seating sections only for day passes?

I thought ticketing was a nightmare, as per usual, although I did eventually get a couple.

I would select seats only for them to disappear before I could even click on a button to progress.
The times I did manage to get to the next step I got messages about the token not matching the seats I had selected.
I managed to get through to the payment screen a couple of times verified on my banking app and returned to the same message about tokens.
Eventually my ticket selection went through without needing bank verification but at that point there were only a few seats left.

Understand the light grey seats were those already sold but what were the dark grey seats?
I also thought that day tickets usually went on sale later than weekend passes? If nothing else it would reduce the strain on the website.

I missed out on festival and day passes (except from thursday), so I'm wondering if it's possible to buy from someone who got spares? If so, I'm very much interested in friday/saturday-passes. Pm me!

if there is a spare festival pass please let me know. Happy to pay!
