why do festivals sell out so early these days ?

stillrockin [Edit] [Delete] 20:08, 27 March '08

I am well old for this site as i used to buy tickets for reading or the v festival a couple of weekes beforheand if i was in the mood to go or the weather forecast looked good !! Nowadays even all the poor ones seem to sell out well in advance - Take the camden crawl sat !! It's all new bands its not particularly cheap and it will be rammed in places and you wont be able to get into see lots of the headliners !! I was waiting till pay day to buy a weekend ticket but the festival has been ruined toa degree by having a commercial sponser and moving to a weekend !! Im thinking of great escape but all is see is adverts last chance to buy great escape tickets !! Why do you all buy tickets so early ? I have mortage and car and london prices to pay so money is limited ! There are far too many festivals anyhow !! Discusss
