Hey Gregory - I agree there was a degree of disorganisation, but it made it a nicer experience in some ways.
Yes, it undersold, max capacity was 7000, they sold around 5000, some of those at 2-4-1 prices.
Yes, the weather affected the Sunday with many people leaving and some of the bands being cancelled because the organisers didn't want to electrocute any band members.
Will it happen next year? I suspect it will - this was a test event with a huge amount of financial backing, it wasn't expected to make a profit, it was to test the site for suitability. As long as the council and villagers are happy with the way things ran this year its likely they'll agree to it again in 2013. The organisers have several other main stream festivals and can afford a loss on this one.
What were you doing on Sunday? And why did you think it was poorly organised?
Just interested...
Feedback on social media suggests that the vast majority of punters at No6 thought it was pretty awesome.
I'd go again next year for sure.
Cheers
