jannybruck Posted August 4, 2022 Report Share Posted August 4, 2022 They would never change the day of it because of licensing issues anyway, but when the strike was announced I wouldn't be surprised if there were some serious discussions about pulling the day altogether. It's going to have a huge impact on the amount of people taking a punt on tickets in the week/s leading up (which counts for a lot at city day fests like this), when ticketholders arrive and leave the site, bar staff and tech people getting on site, the amount people drink, etc etc. I don't think they will pull it, but the day is certainly going to take a real battering because of the strike on top of the fact it hasn't been a strong seller anyway.

JSmurphy Posted August 4, 2022 Report Share Posted August 4, 2022 Almost certainly freebies for that day then I reckon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generally a good rule of thumb to spot days that need a boost (this goes for any festival in London, really) is the amount they're pushing it with adverts on the tube and online. Field Day, for instance, I've barely seen any ads for so I wouldn't be surprised if that one's doing the best, and has had no additions as far as I can recall. Whereas the others have had some serious real estate over the past couple of months and have had some stuff tacked on to try and tempt people to buy.

Keen for the nick cave day but holding out for some better deals on tix.

lighthouse Posted August 4, 2022 Report Share Posted August 4, 2022 "Final tickets" for the Nick Cave day. I'm guessing that will be the only one selling out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalesGolfMadrid Posted August 4, 2022 Report Share Posted August 4, 2022 for Tame Impala, Tier 4 gone? only Tier 5 tickets left? £74 now for GA, not £68. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
becca_ Posted August 4, 2022 Report Share Posted August 4, 2022 To be fair I do advertising and I say “final tickets” when we’re running down the clock, not related to actual ticket sales. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoo Music Girl Posted August 5, 2022 Report Share Posted August 5, 2022 So it's a week since the Tinder lady said "the team will be confirming which option this is for you next week". Hmmm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riggins Posted August 5, 2022 Report Share Posted August 5, 2022 Also just won, interesting people still don't know which they've got. I only really want to go to The National day, will take anything as a freebie really but hopefully we get to pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gfa Posted August 5, 2022 Report Share Posted August 5, 2022 Won tinder. If anyone is interested in trading us disclosure/tame impala tickets for the other days (if we r able to) let me know 🙂 we need like 8 tame impala tickets - happy to trade them for higher demand days like cave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FakeEmpire Posted August 5, 2022 Report Share Posted August 5, 2022 Just had the email. I've already bought Nick Cave & The National tickets at full price when they went on sale (silly, I know!) so am hoping for the Disclosure day as I may as well make a weekend of it.

Then they said they'd email a week later, which they've just done today. They asked me which day I want and I told them so I'm going to Nick Cave for free! Woo.
