BST in Hyde Park 2014

[Muppetmark]

the question is do i go to jack white or AF ?

[the wonderwhy]

To be honest I imagine it would be quite expensive for me to book a hotel now, so I'm not too bothered.

Just a thought, could these be 'add-ons' for people who already have tickets to bring extra people for cheap? Therefore they'd only be valid when accompanied with someone with a full price ticket as well?

It's in the interests of BST to get people on site really- they'll make more money from bars/food/merch than from ticket sales surely?

Of course, I'm sure there will be people who are willing to walk through the gate with anyone on their own with one of these tickets (I would), so there would be a way around it.

This is such an odd offer

To me it looks like an offer where you're effectively paying a booking fee for the tickets in order to get people through the gates. I certainly wasn't planning arcade fire or black Sabbath until this evening

[Babyquack]

The thing is, if the tickets weren't meant to be sold at that price and therefore they don't let anyone in, they'll have to give the money back as the site doesn't claim that you have to be a particular person in order to get tickets for this price so nobodies really doing anything they should be so I don't see why they'd turn people away at the gates.

[the wonderwhy]

Does anyone know how this link got out?

Maybe it's something they're announcing tomorrow morning

[giantwagon]

Not a clue

[atomised]

Certainly nothing in the buying process mentions restrictions

[the wonderwhy]

Have you lot all had confirmations through?

[Muppetmark]

yup ive had a confirmation no tickets yet though

[TenInchToenaiIs]

The link has AEG staff in it

Discount for friends of people who work for them, but gone public?

[the wonderwhy]

That'll be it

[atomised]

Still reeks of desperation to fill the place.

[guitarbhoy1888]

i'll be surprised if they dont honour this.

imagine the hassle of refunding every single person to buy one of these. probably not worth it

wouldnt be surprised tbh if they done it on purpose due to bad sales

[atomised]

Surely if they wanted it solely to go to friends and family a simple code would do the trick

[Muppetmark]

maybe just need to fill the shows to a certain level of capacity if they want to continue being tennants in future?

[Babyquack]

The thing is I'm surprised that they'd have to do this for the Neil Young day tbh because it's a sweet ass lineup.

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

Tempted to buy a Sabbath ticket just to wind up my tight fisted, penny pinching mate who paid full whack.

[giantwagon]

I've got a confirmation but no tickets emailed yet - I assume this is the same for everyone?

[justanothername]

Has it ended as I can only get tickets at full price

Would have gone to see Neil Young with my brother otherwise

EDIT: It's working again

Stage Times up on the BST Hyde Park app.

[justanothername]

Managed to get tickets for Neil Young! Don't listen to him that much but it is worth it for my brother, would get tickets for the Black Sabbath and Arcade Fire if my brother wasn't in Spain and finding a hotel would be expensive now and I have travel for The Libertines sorted so it is a bit of hassle so this offer is taunting me

Oh well, still managed to get cheap tickets

[Ipayne]

They've messed stage times up massively on the app, apparently AF are also supporting Sabbath on Friday with both Soundgarden and Faith No More playing at the same time on the mainstage

[jabba27]

Wow I thought the £30 I paid for AF was reasonable.
