The Strokes ain't playing this. Doubt they'll play anywhere all year tbh.
I thought it was a real coup booking Pulp for this a couple of years ago. If they go down that route for one of the daya, hopefully they'll take a chance on LCD, who are definitely around at the time. Would 100% get a ticket.
There is no way of saying. I logged on at 5.30pm and at 6 has two bars in the queue. I have no way of know how my place in the queue was allocated compared to anyone else. I got to 4 bars before calling time at 6.30pm. Having a queue number/how's many people on front would have helped but I found the process quite boring - at least when pounding f5 there was hope and something to do. This was just dull.
It's an observation for which there could be many reasons. It could be that regulars who post on said media have been less successful, or they may have not even tried for tickets. Or just maybe they can't be arsed to shout anymore they got em.
fairness is a subjective term though. Is it fairer that everyone gets the same chance in a lottery, or fairer that people who persevere with f5 have a slightly better chance? Everyone will have different ideas on that.
And I'd argue the new system isn't that much of a leveller. It's still skewed to techy people who can get on multiple devices, and (now more than ever) popular people who can rope in loads of friends and family to help them. And still skewed to big syndicates.
