How mad would it be for me to go, on my own (probably), to Reading Festival just for the Sunday, so I could see my obsession Florence +TM live, for the first time, having failed to get tickets for any of the tour dates that have just finished?
I'll be 53. I have an occasionally gammy leg and sciatica. I'm a bit overweight and not great at standing for hours and hours. I'm really short. You're not allowed to take pretty much ANYTHING into the Arena area it seems - you get one 'A4-sized bag' (lol-ing at describing bags as units of stationery, perhaps airlines should start that) but their strictures are so, well, strict that I wouldn't be able to carry much in it! I'll probably be on my own, as my passion for F+TM appears to be, in my peer group anyway, my very own. 
What sort of chance do I have of getting up close to the front? Will it just be heartbreaking to be so close but STILL not be able to see anything much? If they're headlining on the Sunday night am I going to be spending the ensuing several hours waiting to leave the site? I know Reading Fest isn't like Glastonbury with shedloads of other stuff going on, but will there be anything other than music acts I haven't heard of happening before my main event? Or should I take a book? 
Points in my favour: I live literally up the road. Assuming the usual Reading-Oxford buses are running, I could walk back into town and hop on a late one and be back in the very quiet place where I live within an hour. or I could bribe DH with post-festival sex to come and pick me up just over the river
Actually that's the only point in my favour. Flo is playing literally down the road and there are still Sunday tickets and I could put on a floppy dress and a flower tiara and actually go and see her. Couldn't I? or is this just a stupid pipe dream from a sad old moo? WWYD?
(I just remembered - I think I've actually been to Reading before, back in the dim mists of time in 1999 when DH and I both lived there and we went just to see Catatonia :-D I think tickets must have been a fair bit cheaper back then. But I'm NOT a festival-goer. I go to a local eco-hippy festival with tiny attendance numbers and that's just lovely, and that's all I ever do.)
