apparently:

http://www.seetickets.com/vmobile

i say "apparently" because the site is websensed here at work, so i can't verify its contents.. according to my source, though, virgin media customers can buy tickets for the V festival right now.. offer runs out tomorrow at midnight, though, so get a wriggle on unless you want to take your chances against joe public..

Checked it out.

Input your Virgin mobile number or account number and you in

Just did a dummy run for buying tickets.
They charge £8.75 per ticket booking fee and £4.80 transaction charge.

How can that be justified?

Is it possible to buy a ticket without a booking fee anywhere these days.

It's just a big con

(think I should be in the Rant thread)

Got my tickets through this, cost me over a grand for seven tickets...!

It does seem a lot of money, but then if you think that you can pay £40+ for a football match or concert for one band, then a full weekend watching loads of good bands with camping doesn't seem too bad. for £150

I went to a 3 day festival last year, with camping, for £30! Having done V, Leeds and Download I thought this one had a much better atmosphere.

Wasn't quite as big admittedly....

WTF? The license fee was brought in 1946, so rather than New Labour it was Ye Olde Labour headed by Clement Attlee. IIRC he nationalised the coal industry, rail industry, and created the NHS? The bastard!


EDIT: It seems out of 5 posts, I have replied to all implying you need to sort your head out. If you are a troll, I believe I am indeed clip-clopping across your bridge. I shall leave you be from now on, I need to convince a chaffinch that gravity exists. A guy down the pub knows a guy that met someone that said it didn't, dontchaknow.
