The main stage is always pretty easy to get near the front, because between bands people flood in and out. So when the band before finish (which I think is imagine dragons though I haven't bothered to check the line up) just push forward when everyone is flooding out, I remember it being surprisingly easy last year for the Libertines. Though that's the only day I saw the main stage headliner :) (And I think Chilli Pepper fans are probably less violent than Libertines fans as well)

Ask them when they are leaving and if they are take their place when they leave. Its fairly easy to get barrier, just push forward (don't be violent though,people don't take to kindly to that)

Hey there, Sophie. Thank you for your video. My friend and I will be going to Reading Festival 2016, but only for one day. I was wondering, what time should we leave London in order to get to the festival early enough to stand quite close to the stage? (Going by train). Thanks, Yarden.
@SophieEggleton
8 жыл бұрын
+Yarden Levy Well you need to find out what time the main arena is opening this year - it's usually about midday....then you have to factor in time to go through with your tickets. Traffic can be busy... so if you're only in London it will be easier to time things if you go by train and then get a taxi to the site from there. Usually it's quite quiet for the first band so it's pretty easy to get quite near the front at that time of day x

Also depends on whether you'd rather bring one big tent, or carry smaller ones each. x

Well it's lovely to wake up to a notification calling me a silly cow - particularly when I'm already having the week from hell. As you can see from the other comments some people did find this useful. When you pack it's easy to forget obvious things so some people use these videos to just remind them. If you didn't feel it was useful after a few minutes why on earth would you stay for the full 18! I'm genuinly sorry you didn't get anything out of this. But I've put in time and effort to make a video to try and help first time festival goers, free content that I made nothing from, so please don't call me a cow for trying to help. There's a lot worse things I could be doing.

+Sophie Eggleton sorry if you're having a bad week but that's nothing to do with me. I stayed watching for the full 18 mins because I thought I would actually get at least 1 piece of useful Information. Nope, just a load of waffle. "Don't wear high heels" or "bring a hat in case it get rains and messes your hair up". None of the Information was specific to reading festival at all. You should have named it "general festival advice for compete idiots or people with zero common sense" I was hoping for pieces of information like, what the different campsites have to offer, or how far the walk is from car to camp. Information that is actually specific to reading festival itself? Nope. I did learn that leggings are more comfortable than jeans tho thanks for that completely useless fact that no one else knew until you just released it to the world. What a load of shite.
@SophieEggleton
8 жыл бұрын
+rob171081 I agree those things would be helpful , but the problem with answering those specifics is that layout of festivals & things like car parking tend to change year on year so this information would likely be out of date and actually be the opposite of helpful if the info is no longer correct. Again, I'm sorry this video wasn't for you, but I was actually using the questions people had sent me to guide what I included. 'I've also been trying to answer as many of their questions as possible via other videos. You'll probs think I'm ridiculous for replying to you again, but I just don't think people realise how their comments effect people when they write them, and it would be much nicer if we could keep this space as positive as possible. Anyway, I hope you have fun at Reading, maybe I'll see you there X
