Handing off a weekend wristband on Sunday?
EDIT: Based on feedback I am going to attempt this and got a 3-day pass. If anyone is looking for a wristband just for Sunday and can meet up either Saturday night (Aug 29) in Reading or Sunday morning (Aug 30) in London, I'm happy to hand it off at a discount & also reimburse you if it doesn't end up working out for whatever reason! DM me to chat about it happy to verify identity/chat on insta :)
Hi all, currently living in London for the summer, and this is going to be my first Reading Festival! (I saw Charli xcx at Outside Lands in San Francisco earlier this month and the set was so amazing I decided I have to see her again since I won't be able to see her North American tour)
I was thinking about buying a non-camping weekend ticket, but since I want to go to a different festival in London on Sunday I wanted to coordinate handing off the weekend wristband to someone in London on Sunday morning and selling that portion at a cheaper portion than what Sunday day tickets are going for (and I have found techniques online for getting the wristband off without having to cut it or anything). This way I am paying less than what a standard Friday & Saturday ticket is going for and with a little coordination someone also gets to go to Sunday on a discount.
Maybe a silly question, but has anyone done this before and were you successful? Is there a reason that this wouldn't work (besides if I run into issues with getting the wristband off)? I'm just unsure if at this festival there's some reason that if I use it for the first two days then it wouldn't work for a new person on the third day.
Unrelated question, but can anyone comment on the experience of not staying in reading but taking the train in from London & then back out each day? I know it's obviously more logistics and probably less sleep, but ultimately would rather go back home where all my stuff is to tackle the next day of the festival/get to the Sunday festival. I would take any tips (like if booking a ticket for the late trains after the headliners in advance is necessary)!
Thank you xx
