I've got to the order bit twice now, entered all my details and click confirm. However then it goes "server is busy". So either I won't be going this year, or I'll have a spare pair

Here's the link http://www.seetickets.com/readingandleeds/nme/

I'm going to T in the Park as well this year, RATM twice in less than two months, how will I ever cope?

Yeah it should be great. The lineup is amazing and by the looks of the NME stages there are still loads of bands to be announced. I'll be keeping my eyes peeled over the coming months.

Re: Metallica, RATM & The Killers Reading & Leeds 08 Headliners
Some good bands, but £155 + nonsense tax + postage will equal about £170.

£170

Jesus H cocking christ. Reckon I'm going to go to a European festival like Pinkpop or Hurricane. They have the same bands, but tickets are much cheaper (some are around £80 for 3 days), beer/food is cheaper and you won't get stupid 16 year old metal chavs trying to burn your tent down every night

Looks like Metallica may be adding arena tours later if the interviews are correct

Re: Metallica, RATM & The Killers Reading & Leeds 08 Headliners
Me and some mates got day tickets for saturday in Leeds - cant wait to see RATM.

Would do the full weekend but its too expensive and i really cant be arsed with idiots rioting and burning tents.

A few years ago at reading people were openly putting gas canisters on bombfires they were going off all over the place while other people stood around the fire watching. Idiots

Re: Metallica, RATM & The Killers Reading & Leeds 08 Headliners
Bagged my ticket for Reading on Sunday. Saw Metallica when they were last there in 2003, thankfully they only played a few tracks from St Anger. Back in 2004 to watch the bottling of 50 Cent, but I've not been back since.

Looking forward to August.
