Beachdown Festival. Any day tickets available?

[Herr Tubthumper]

Me and the missus want to go on Saturday 29th but do not wish to purchase full 4 day tickets. Does anyone know if nearer the time daily tickets will become available?

I am aware of other fezzies, which are not selling out, releasing the remainder as day tickets. Is this likely to happen here?

Has anyone else managed to get in just for a specific day?

Nope I'm not, this is music in the South Downs, for us to go as a family is over £400. Ridiculous....Who is headlining?

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

...but can anyone answer my question?

my mate is the person behind this festival i had a beer with him the other day & no, you cant get day tickets. coulcil regulations......blame them not the beachdown company.

They didn't do day tickets last year, but a strip of the right coloured paper wrapped round the wrist worked for me.

It is a bit of a joke. You have to pay £97 for the 4 day pass, then £9 admin charge AND a £4.50 postal charge. I still bought one any way, so will be missing Millwall and Hartlepool away

I do think that 97 plus all the added charges is still cheap for 4 days, but why is there this trend for breaking down the cost of items? Why not just charge £110.50 for the tickets? When I buy a sandwich I do not expect the shop to say that will be 50p for the bread, 15 for the butter, 50 for the bacon and 5 for the lettuce and tomato. Is anyone really bothered about the price components?

possibly cheapest festival in country with 4 days of quality on your doorstep, christ some of you are right miserable bastards on here.

this year i went to glastonbury (£185) and latitude (£155) so Beachdown is definitely cheaper..... i was looking to go but...... the lineup is poor unless you want to see loads of brighton bands or are a clubber. might look out for a cheap last minute ticket on ebay or gumtree though, would like to try it.

A few of us going, and yes you are right, definate lack of decent bands, but then it's still trying to establish itself as a 'name' festival.

 

[shoreham moonraker]

zutons, prince buster, super furry animals and ocean colour scene will do for me for starters.

And Derrick May's history of electronic music should be interesting.

Think im mostly looking forward to Grandmaster Flash, Super Furry Animals, Ocean Colour Scene, Saint Ettiene and a couple off mates playing in the Brighton Band stage (sweet sweet lies and mojo finns)

Underwhelming in the extreme. Dreadzone better be good that's all I can say!
