Review: Global Gathering

It's partly their own fault. There was quite a significant price increase in 2009 from the 2008 prices, especially in the first level VIP option, which I think was only £30 more in 2008 but £60 more in 2009. £30 to get better toilets and showers is worth it, £60 is not.

Then again given that Glade got cancelled you'd have thought that might have swelled the numbers at Global. But looks like Creamfields is leading the way for punters who are being more picky due to finances, and going for that one as their big dance festival of the summer (PS: I've never been to Creamfields since they moved it from the Liverpool airfield location, so I don't have any hidden motive to 'big it up').
 
more about the money than the punter

DJpromoter i would suggest you pop down to creamfields and see what it is like since it's move from the old liverpool airfield.big better and more love in the air. this festival is sure to win a award if not many this year. as to global i think it's the Management fault for the fall in numbers over the past few years also the big hike in their ticket price has not helped. they have put profit before making the punters happy. aslo i am just a general clubber, concerts and festival goer. global this year i felt a lack in excitement and by late sat afternoon i was wishing i had not come but had to stay as several of my friends were here.
 
just wish i had never gone. as i think the people who put this festival together are putting profit before the punter. the was some great dj's on here but many i had never herd of . only some of the bigger named dj's drawn crowds into the tents and i think if it was not for faithless and maybe dizzee the whole weekend would have been a big flop for the globalgathering team.

I was toying with going to the LED festival that weekend in London however now that I've booked an extra holiday to Ibiza in September and am already going to 2 gigs the weekend after in my home city of Glasgow, I wasn't so sure I'd bother doing anything for the August bank holiday weekend.

However if there are still tickets on the go for Creamfields at the last minute and the weather forecast is good, I could still pop down for one of the days 8)
