Does anyone have an opinion on what would be a good time to arrive at Hyde Park in order to obtain a good vantage point? Am all prepared to stand through a few bands that I'm not too bothered about if it means I can sneak my way forward. Although I don't desperately want to be right at the VERY front, it would be nice to see a little more than just a few blurry stick figures in the distance.

I've been thinking the exact same thing. No idea on how to win the waiting game. I've never been to something this big, but I'm prepared to stand through a lot of bands I don't want to see in order to see Pulp.  Was also hoping to take pictures, but if I can't get a decent spot, there's no point I suppose. Any suggestions for this weary Canadian traveller would be most appreciated biggrin

 At big shows like this you tend to find that hardcore fans who want to be at the front will be able to do so easily as there are plenty of people who are content on watching from a distance.

With 17 days left until Wireless, my local bus shelter is starting to get excited.

Bus shelter

did anyone buy one of those vIP tickets? or did I get wrapped up in the hype? Anyone want to share many drinks in the tent we get to stand in?

Fuss Free - All bus shelters will be in cahoots now since they saw Pulp had been rehearsing their songs from 1992/1993. It's the the only real period in music that they have been properly acknowledged!

Cutcopy - I thought the VIP tickets looked like a bit of a rip off! You can't see the band from where the tent is?! Am I right?

and its only open till 3pm? I went there last year thinking im going to sit at that window and have lunch! It was shut by the time I got there so I stood in the lane taking photos of my Common People single on the window sill. Will do it this time.


Hmmm where else can we all meet up?

also, it looks like I'll have a spare VIP ticket - I wont know until a day or so before Wireless but willing to sell it cheap cheap - 80 pounds maybe? you get a sticker apparently and you get your food and booze paid for the entire day.

Message me if anyones interested.

I don't plan to go to the festival until around 18:00. The other acts hold zero interest for me and I cannot justify wasting my entire afternoon there. Long queues and overpriced beer: no thank you.

 

As I won't be doing any other festival, I might turn up early and make a day of it (if it doesn't rain that is).  I'll bring my Barclaycard and see if I can get the goodlies like a ticket upgrade or a balcony view.  If I'm lucky I'll get to dine with Russell, Nick and Steve (fat chance!)

Got my tickets in the post a few weeks ago. As soon as I heard Pulp were coming back, I ordered the tickets on the exact day they went on sale at the exact time (I believe it was November 11 at 9am). Are there any 100% concrete plans for a meetup made yet?

Shall we confirm:

2PM - 3:00PM
Bar Italia, Soho
22 Frith St, London W1D 4RP

3PM
Party Move to: The Coach and Horses Pub
34 Romilly Street, Westminster, London
(just around the corner)

Off to Festival at 4:30-5:00.

SOMEWHAT UNRELATED

For those looking for a Friday night out, How Does it Feel is having a 'Alternative Pulp' theme night on Friday July 1. The idea is to play Pulp's less popular club tracks, mixed in with the usual HDIF staples (indiepop, Northern Soul, britpop, post-punk, you get the idea).

Actually, I will probably be going in at doors to get a good spot much like Pip. Should be a good gig! :D

Yep I'm going to go doors as well. I was doors for Finsbury Park as well, and it was ok, except I got crushed during Ultrasound, nearly had my arm broken, got seperated from my date and ended up being hauled over the barrier and having to lie in the St John's Ambulance area during Catatonia. Hopefully Hyde park will be a bit more sedate. Must remember bottled water.

Pip, Jazza...care to meet up at Hyde Park?

I'm not gonna spend all day there like. Once you're in there are no pass outs and I can only imagine the corporate imagery/prices/uncomfortablness. So I would happily go along with Fuss Free's plan.
