Radio 1's Big Weekend 2015

[seumasbeathan]

Do we know if they are allocating tickets based on location in Scotland/Wales/NI or if there is just a set number of tickets for each country as a whole?

[Matt42]

I'd say the fact they are releasing an album pretty much at the time of big weekend mumford are surely in...

[Matt42]

Remember this is big weekend. It's not unheard of that it could be both foo fighters and mumford.

KOL and One Direction both played last year in non headlining spots.

[Rose-Colored Boy]

What we saying for other headliner? Foos have had 'congregation' on the playlist for a while and start a tour the next week; Kanye has had 45Seconds on and All Day has just been put on the playlist + promo for Glasto?; Mumford because it's Mumford?

Mumford all the way, Foos have already done it twice

55% for Norwich County Council

20% for people with a Norwich postcode but out with the county council area

20% for people in surrounding boroughs

5% for the rest of the UK

Norwich isn't a 'County'

Norfolk County Council exists.

Norwich City Council exists.

[Filthclough]

Norwich isn't a 'County'

Norfolk County Council exists.

Norwich City Council exists.

No idea about the percentages, but the Radio 1 website says...

"A certain number of tickets are reserved for those living in the area covered by Norwich City Council; those with other NR postcodes but outside of the city council area; and those with Peterborough (PE), Cambridge (CB), Colchester (CO) or Ipswich (IP) postcodes."

[Dom Wall]

As above but it's Norwich city rather than Norwich county

[LondonTom]

To be fair thats a rather big area of coverage for the "locals" tickets! (Not sure how many people would cover mind)

[Rumblestripe]

Warning bad taste joke, highlight at your peril:

I take it there'll be no DJ-run creche this year...

[Browno01]

See Tickets link's seem to have been turned off...

[Filthclough]

So do we think the majority of the line up will be announced throughout Monday? I'm sure the line-up has been out before tickets went on sale previously, so that you knew which day to aim for

Last year the majority of the lineup wasn't announced until about a month after tickets went on sale. Coldplay were announced separately, but even that was only a week or two before the main announcement.

[Stuart1000]

It was the end of April last year that the lineup was announced, wasn't it? Main Stage announced on the breakfast show and INMWT Stage announced on Zane's show (which is now Annie Mac's show).

[Dom Wall]

They've said next month for lineup (admittedly Wednesday is next month but still they'd have probably said next week if they meant it)

Aye that's normally the way.

Tho I remember one year they announced each act individually, and played a song by them in full, took the entire breakfast show to get to the headliners, absolute pisstake. But the worst part was, after all that effort waiting three hours to find them out, the top two on the Sunday were Paramore and Bruno Mars

Brother's just asked if I wanna try for tickets tomorrow. He's at UEA and everyone he knows is trying to go for Taylor Swift.

If I get Sunday tickets and they announce someone decent for the Saturday then they can get bunned real bad.

[ives56]

I'm Gonna try for Saturday

[ives56]

Better be a decent headliner

[Dom Wall]

Anyone any idea if you can get tickets abroad? Currently in Mallorca and forgot about the sale! Personally think it should be alright cos it's just a general see tickets link but with it being BBC wondering if it changes things?

[foolee]

What day will be the easier to get do you think? Because I'd rather try my luck on the day that may not have as much demand...

[Dom Wall]

I'd say Saturday due to no headliner announced?

[foolee]

Think I'll try the saturday then, although Florence has been announced and I image she will be a big draw, when does the lineup usually get announced? I didn't think it was this late..

[Dom Wall]

They've said late April apparently; definitely said next month but just depends when.
