Bought our tickets, looked at lineup. Reasonably happy so far.
Didn't there used to be a way to know what number ticket we got?
It's in the confirmation email under the ticket details below the festival dates - it took a bit of looking. We got 1147 & 1148 in the ticket bingo. |

Have the Trevor Horn band bought shares in the festival?

We got 40 and 41, so must have been very early getting ours booked.
Sadly there's nothing much in the line-up which rings my bell, but we don't go to Cropredy just for the music (!) and I understand that there are further acts to be announced.

Hi David. I won’t say too much as I will get criticised for being negative…. Cropredy was always very important to me . 3 decades of attendance. Special years 1995 to 2012 when we went in a convoy of 18 people and field 2 was our special,place. A 2 day fest but camped on the Thurs and all day in the village….pint on the gravestones and a quiz from canoe club. I sprinkled my best male mates ashes ( one of the convoy) on the field in 2012 . My wife lost interest in the fest, I attended a few times more… I always thought it would be an unmissable part of my life ………. But…other things have taken it’s place……much to my surprise. Warwick fest is now a regular for example. For me it was always about the lineup. This year I have seen most before . So, very sadly I weaned myself of Cropredy. Smaller fests have popped up , particularly Magpie Fest . Bromyard etc. Nostalgia ain’t what it used to be , I can’t be an old f**t saying do you remember……… So moving on from Cropredy is a weird thing , hope you find your fix somewhere else…… |

This is a slightly ludicrous concept...because in reality we have missed out on everyone on the planet who isn't on the bill. This is just a list of people you like who aren't playing there. Which is kind of pointless isn't it? |

This is a slightly ludicrous concept...because in reality we have missed out on everyone on the planet who isn't on the bill. This is just a list of people you like who aren't playing there. Which is kind of pointless isn't it? True.... but we never got Twisted Sister..or WASP. We nearly got Spinal Tap but didn't. We didn't get the real Pink Floyd. Imagine a wall stretching from Leon's to the Goan Fish stand. Crowded House. Macc Lads. Macca. AccaDacca....not the hillbilly ones. etc etc. But I get the original point. 10 CC - or 2.5 CC - 'Yay !' The first time. 'Oh-they/he were/was good last time'. 'What again ? Same with Trev, but there was another 2.5 CC last time. In the end, it is what it is. |

David, the point I am making is that the festival is moving away from what I like , obviously with a few exceptions . I have a family wedding next year but I doubt whether I could justify paying nearly £200 each for one or two bands I like.

And for all we know, Fairport may have tried very hard to get some of the people on that list, but they weren't available at the time, or not in the country, or cost too much, or..., or...
