moke   10 #25 Posted June 18, 2012 so, is there no big stage at dev green in tramlines? or is it just the acts that have 'moved' - fwiw, i thought the likes of miss dynamite were mainstream enough that i hadnt thought about it being anything other than business as usual.

PeteM01   10 #26 Posted June 18, 2012 thought it looked a bit pricey for me... especially when there's a free festival with more to offer on just after it! as a family on a budget, i know what i'll be picking.  Looks a pretty good line-up for £10: http://www.sheftival.com/line-up.html  If the weather is good, it might do pretty well.

JFKvsNixon   11 #27 Posted June 18, 2012 Sheftival is on the weekend of Saturday 4th August and Sunday 5th August, whereas Tramlines is on the weekend of Friday 20th - Sunday 21st July. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Andy C   86 #28 Posted June 18, 2012 Its designed to offer something for everyone at a fair price.  There is a music festival with the Real Radio headline stage in Don Valley Bowl along with a dance tent, food, bars and more.  There will be a big screen showing the Olympics in Don Valley Stadium with lots of sporting challenges you can get involved in happening alongside it.  There is also Ice Skating and other activities included at Ice Sheffield.  Not to mention a funfair, crazy golf, various stalls and other entertainments.  A day ticket is £12 for adults and a family ticket for a family of four is £40. This is designed to be little more than a visit to the cinema.  There are also discounted tram tickets available for those going to Sheftival which can be ordered online at the same time as the admission tickets.  Visit http://www.sheftival.co.uk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

neeeeeeeeeek   10 #30 Posted June 18, 2012 (edited) That's why it will not work. Anybody with any idea would tell you that you can't be all things to all men. For something to be marketed correctly, it has to have a target market, and if your target market is "everyone", you're stuffed. Fifteen year old girls aren't going to want to buy tickets for a festival where Toots and The Maytals are playing to their grandads. Likewise, the forty and fifty somethings who might have been to see Dodgy 16 years ago when they had their biggest hit aren't going to buy tickets for something that's advertising the latest BGT reject. And anyone who's interested in the Monkey Bump Dance Tent is going to be confused by the offer of free Rugby League. And Real Radio still haven't released the line up, only 6 weeks before? I'm sure there are no problems there.  It's a shambles, and in my opinion a waste of public money that companies like Sheffield International Venues didn't ought to be playing fast and loose with.  It's a tenner! If the sun is out people will go and enjoy themselves. As Andy said, it's not much more than the cinema. I think the line up is good, whats your problem with it?? And even without the music there are other things to do.  You should be happy that people are putting stuff on, if it's so bad why don't you organise one.

Who picks up the bill?  ***breaking news*** the sun might not shine * never do anything * cancel all festivals * events * parties* barbecues* birthdays * weddings *  Due to the possibility of the sun not shining, everything has been cancelled. Activities other than wandering around Meadowhall buying crap you don't need are no longer permitted.  Tell your friends.
