Will def be coming Thursday now!

[xxialac]

I thought if Stereolab turned out to be playing Thursday, it would be considered disappointing. Very odd...

Anyone know if there is a way to send tickets to people directly? I've agreed to buy a ticket off someone and we are wondering if the "sell ticket" bit on the account page will allow direct transfers.

The official line is that resales must take place through Twickets. If the seller has only purchased one ticket then they could perhaps just change their address to yours. 

This is probably not much help but great that you've got a ticket.

I have never known them to actually check ID against a ticket before. They will send an e-ticket that will be scanned on entry. Who is in possession of that e-ticket is kind of irrelevant.

[Guy Incognito]

Thanks guys. Shame we can't seem to transfer it directly. Seems silly to have to go through the uncertainty of resale or twickets.

Yes I've been to many gigs/festivals where they've said they will need to check ID matches the name on the ticket, but not once has anywhere actually bothered.

Arlo Parks' tour beginning the day after EOTR has been postponed (which is weird, it ran until November so covers the period a lot of artists are currently announcing big dates/tours around)

Sorry, ignore this (can't edit/delete) - the tweet has been reposted to clarify that the original tour was in May and early June, the rescheduled dates begin in September.

If I'm understanding you correctly, with it being an e-ticket my worry would be that the seller could potentially sell the same ticket several times, the person going in first would be fine, those afterwards not so.

[Justiceforcedave]

I know someone with a ticket to sell....I think they are wondering the same! How do they do a 'transfer'?

[dentalplan]

I am guessing there isn't a 'way' to do a transfer except just trying to get in with someone's ticket, because Twickets is the official partner. If they condone transfers then they open the door to touting and invalidate the secure resale platform they are aligned with.

Correct. Thanks for mentioning it but I'm pretty comfortable going through with it. Still need a few for my friends on the resale day though so fingers crossed for that!

Pixies are doing shows this September. 

Bit annoying that!

European shows? Or are you referring to those dates with Nine Inch Nails in Ohio? Because those are in Ohio.

Yeah, I knew the shows were in Ohio.

I think ticket scalping isn't that likely for EOTR. However I would encourage everyone to buy through twickets as who knows what covid tracing measures will be in place (you might need your NHS app name to match your ticket name). There will be some kind of proof of a recent lateral flow test I imagine.

Assume we'll all be signed up to the digital green cert? Ill have to be anyway, traveling over from the colonies.

Belgium are saying 13 August bigger festivals >5.000 (not sure about max) allowed. Visitors need proof they are 'covid safe', e.g. vaccinated or have a negative test. 

Quite encouraging especially seeing as UK has 26% fully vaxed, Belgium only 9%.

Actually 34%, or at least it will be when Monday's figures come in - and assuming supply keeps up with demand (and everyone has the second dose) it'll be over 58% by June 21st. (If you're wondering, 10th July is twelve weeks back from EOTR Thursday)

Yeah though my Belgian number is equally a little out of date and understated.

The point was more a relative one ie that if Belgium can run festivals in mid August based on the status of their vaccine roll out, then the U.K. definitely can.

Even talking about the Electric Picnic being on in Ireland now, same weekend as EOTR and 80,000 people.

Yeah but that's from the organiser (and the same one who confidently predicted festivals would go ahead last Summer...).

The statement re Belgium having festivals in August came from the government.

So did the one about the Picnic. Both organiser and government.

Apologies, didn't realise the govt backed them up.

I'm astonished that they are confident in a 80,000 crowd festival.
