Crystal Palace Bowl — Attraction in London

Some time ago I purchased tickets to see a band at the South Facing Festival. I made various efforts to find out the exact timing of bands once I realized it was a festival and I may need to enter some time to my favourite band performing.

I received NO replies and no information to such a simple question as the timing of various performances.

Then a couple of days ago I get an email from the event regarding my "VIP tickets". The email states "you must enter the site by 15:00. If you arrive after this time, you will be charged a late entry fee equal to the difference of price between the early entry ticket and a general admission ticket."

So I try again to get information about the event timing and I then discover that the band whose tickets I purchased are not performing until 8:40.

The event organisers are insisting that I enter the event 5 hours before the band will play. This was NEVER made clear when the tickets were purchased.

Wonderful atmosphere and fantastic performances from Happy Mondays & James. However. I purchased VIP tickets and it was definitely not a VIP experience! The waiting time for entry was long, it would have been quicker to enter with everyone else. Once inside the VIP area consisted of 1 bar and 1 food van tucked away at the furthest point from the stage. The toilets were slightly above average. We purchased a drink and went to the main area which had loads of food vans and bars of good quality but there was no VIP area near the stage. I paid an extra £50 quid for very little. Next time i buy tickets for this venue I will not get the VIP and will award 5*. I did thoroughly enjoy myself, I just didn’t think VIP...
