Tickets for next year's Reading and Leeds Festivals (you know, sponsored by some awful beer or other) are already on sale through Ticketmaster.

The tickets are priced at £125. Since there's no Glastonbury next summer, expect these tickets to go fast. Tickets for 2006's V Festival have also gone on sale early.

As for the line up, how about these totally unconfirmed artists that we just made up over a cup of tea:
Oasis, Blur, Metallica, Prodigy, Chemical Brothers, Fat Man Scoop, Beyoncé, Nine Inch Nails, Jethro Tull, Deep Purple, Testament, Slayer, Deerhoof, The Ex, Thom Yorke (solo), Goldie Lookin' Chain, 66% of Run DMC, 80% of The Spice Girls, Britney & Kevin's Chaotic Live Show, The O.C. All-Star Band...

You ought to set up an affiliate with Ticketmaster and make a few quid off the links.

I don't know, but I would suppose so.
Kids are broke after the last weekend (I know I am!) so it'd be foolish to have 'em sell out before regulars can save up again.

Would this be the regulars that riot and blow off peoples balls?

Re: Reading/Leeds 2006: tickets already on sale

That'd be a minority faction of said regulars I guess, yes.
I've been going for years though and have never thrown anything explosive into a fire, pushed over an ice cream van or trampled another's tent.
I did bottle someone once by accident, which wasn't much fun.
But he forgave me.

Re: Reading/Leeds 2006: tickets already on sale

how does one bottle someone by accident?

By booting a glass bottle into the air, accidentally giving it a little too much welly, and it impacting with another's skull.

I was drunk.
And not proud.

Re: Reading/Leeds 2006: tickets already on sale

yeah i think that reading got younger this year and the new generation dont seem to like good old safe things like (empty) bottle throwing, unlike the full bottle throwingh at t-in-the-park last year...

twelve months of good health then.
of course im against the sort of violence that went on on sunday night but id love it if the same happened at ATP this year. cedric bixlers afro used for a camp fire, (asymetrical) bottles of expensive lager thrown through the chalet doors. damo suzuki running round naked, amped on speed and holding onto his small intestines, a 7 inch vinyl jarred into his stomach.has to be done...

The amount of times I had to stop some moron putting unopened tins or something that would involve shrapnel-related facial injuries was countless this year.

I plan not to camp with the same people again...

Im never going to reading again, took two really important days off work drove to reading got stuck in town traffic for about 3 hours, car broke down on the roundabout by the holiday inn (pretty much the worst place/time you could ever break down) finally got to the festiva l and it had ACTUALLY sold out, for years I assured people 'no it never really sells out you can get them on the day'. Went home and had quite a good weekend. In conclusion: dont go to reading.

Re: Reading/Leeds 2006: tickets already on sale

i read the first part of that message and thought you were just whingeing about the traffic queuing, which is all really just part of the fun, honest!

then i finished reading the post, and consequently felt bad :(

Re: Reading/Leeds 2006: tickets already on sale

Its in the past now and therefore funny. My cars got a dodgy battery and I had stalled whilst waiting in traffic and I didnt notice as I was listening to music so loudly, as I was there for so long my stereo drained the battery. I had to get out of the car and push it whilst steering of to a side road and trying to stop other traffic, some people came out of nowhere to help (thanks people!) then disappeared again. Top Tip for motorist: If your batterys flat put it in top gear push car back and forth for a bit slowly press down accelerator and then start engine (the rubbing the batteries in the remote method) So luckily I didn’t need to get a tow truck as that would have been the worst timing ever. Then didn’t get in to festival but im glad now as when I returned to my car defeated I realised I had left the window completely unwound, now no-one would bother stealing my car as it is rubbish but it was reading so I was surprised it hadn’t already been turned into a burnt out wreck or have some metaler sleeping in it and when I got back had the best weekend I’ve had in ages so it was all for the best.
