Hi, on hot box website it seems you can already fill out an application form for reading 27 but i wonder if it’s an old form from last year as elsewhere says applications open in February.
Does anyone know the exact date applications open for volunteering (whether with oxfam or hotbox etc) , as I would like to get in there early but I have a feeling this might not be for a while!
Thank you

guys I wanna see everyone’s predictions because wdym we will have the next line up in 2 months that is crazy and so exciting

when do they individual day tickets usually come out, and how much are they usually? do they get sold out quickly ?

Last year I waited twenty minutes just to get a decent meal and it killed my whole schedule. Wondering if there are any stalls or areas that stay manageable even during peak times. Not talking about the main big vendors, more like the smaller ones or tucked-away spots people actually use. Would be good to hear what worked for others rather than guessing again.

I attended the 1995 festival for three days and picked up this t-shirt. Not sure if I bought it at the show or at an outside vendor. Anyone know if it is official? Thanks for the help!

hello!! i’m a bit new to this so sorry if this is common knowledge!! i’m tempted to get tickets for 2027 but i want to wait for part of the lineup to be out to see if it’s worth it. however i don’t want to be paying a lot more. do you know if the price goes up the second they release part of the lineup?? do we know when they usually go up?? i know last year they had the whole dynamic pricing thing going on and that friday was very expensive. but idk how the increases work. thank you in advance for all your help!!!!!!!!!

Just bought two tickets for 2027, just wondering when or how do I buy two VIP packages for these?

First time using VIP at the festival and want to make sure we can get them still, as won VIP Boardmasters tickets so was first time using it at something like this but made the experience much better for us.

Thank you

I bought camping tickets last week, am I right I still need to join the queue to buy my campervan ticket today?

My son wants to go to Reading next year as do all his friends. How easy is it to get tickets during the lead up (as in after they go on sale)? Is it easy to buy through resale? And how easy is it to resell tickets if he in the event he doesn't end up going?

Thanks so much

Hey so just wondering for those who have lost things at Reading and uploaded it to found base how long do they usually take to respond?
I’ve been a complete idiot and managed to loose my battle jacket and Im devastated 😭

I uploaded it to foundbase last Sunday and I’m starting to feel like I’m not getting it back

or should I stay hopeful and am I being impatient? (really hoping it’s this)

Thanks

Trying find this girl from reading fest wont make it long id just really appreciate if you commented liked or did anything with my tiktok thank you https://vm.tiktok.com/ZN8YGVKeL/

Any solo ravers male or female planning on going in 2027? Spent most of my time on my own this year I’m 34. Would be great to get a group going before we attend next year!

I was rushing to order in the presale and accidentally ordered 4 weekend camping with early access tickets. I meant to get 4 weekend non-camping. FML

Did anyone get a loyalty email/code for Reading 2027?

Last year I remember there being loyalty tickets for 2026 shortly after the festival, and they were quite a bit cheaper (£265) than the normal weekend price.

This year all I've seen is the Early Access sale at £326, which seems basically full price. I've checked my emails and can't find anything mentioning loyalty.

Just wondering if anyone who went this year actually got a loyalty code, or if they've stopped doing it altogether?

Also does anyone remember roughly when the loyalty sale happened last year? I thought it was pretty much straight after the festival, which is why I'm wondering if I've missed something.

Thanks!

Anybody else going into ticketmaster and only seeing general sale? I’ve gone through the app link, through the email link and just searched and can’t see anywhere to select early access or put the password in? Am I being a thicky thicky dumb dumb or is anyone else having the same problem?

If you or your friends lost one and can tell me what colour it is I'll send it in the post. I cant afford to get it developed to identify anyone sadly.

Got bored, so here's a lineup I made less of a prediction (mainly because I know I'm way off) and more of a try to show my skill so I can make posters for Festival Republic in future :) Hope you like it

Hi all,

Does anyone have a video/photo of Sombr arriving by Ambulance at the main stage. My friend was driving! Thanks all 🙏

Has anyone else come home from Reading really sick? 😭

So sad to see just how many tents were abandoned this morning when we left. This morning we heard the tent next to ours packing up and they had a group conversation saying the tent had been used twice, so when you think about, it the cost is very little divided between the 6 of them.

They’re right, in the context of tickets, travel and spending money, the tent etc isn’t that big a cost.

What I found staggering amongst the group, was that nobody said anything about the moral position of generating that much consumer waste just because they couldn’t be bothered to pack up and carry it with them. Not to mention the fact that they took it for granted that someone else (eg. the festival organisers) will clean up after them.

I was just staggered by the arrogance of it all and, although it was just one story, I left wondering about the stories of all the other abandoned tents and the self justifications the owners gave themselves as they left them behind.

Rant over.

Sorry, I was just brought up to respect stuff and not be a litterbug.

Looking for this girl who I met during Notion/Hedexs set in the warehouse. Brunette hair with highlights I’m pretty certain and in a group of 5 girls. Had to leave early during Hedex and completely forgot to get her socials. Names gone out of my head but I was wearing plain black shirt with chino shorts on the leftish side when facing the stage. Said she was from south east London.
