yes, just hadn't quite got around to putting it in, what with all the
excitement of changing nodes..

Here's most of the text from the NME advert. When I get time, I'll expand this
note to include the 'lesser bands'. At the moment I've only included the first
few bands for each day/stage.

    to just wander along on the day,but not get them in advance.

Ooops, thought I'd already put this information in:

I 'phoned the information line in .1, to enquire about day tickets. I spoke to
a Real Human Being, who told me that they didn't know whether they would be
selling day tickets. She said it depended upon the number of 3-day tickets
they sold. She said that they wouldn't know until a few days before the
event.

Seems like they'll only sell day tickets to fill any spare capacity from unsold
3-day tickets. This seems a real pity; unlike somewhere like Glastonbury,
Reading has a large potential captive audience nearby. I'm a bit annoyed,
really. Don't know if I really want to spring for a 3-day ticket.

    bummer.  The 3 day tix are expensive, and with Hole being moved up to
    play Friday instead of Sunday, Friday looks like a hot day out.

    this is exactly why I and several friends stopped going, people who
    weren't there for the whole weekend - perhaps only to see one band -
    seemed to be the ones who trashed tents and threw bottles etc, etc
    
    we used to stay at a friends house in Reading, but eventually stopped
    going as we didn't want to be 'tarred with the same brush' ...
