Does everyone have their tickets now through Ticketmaster? Bought a pair through Viagogo for Face value but not received them yet, just getting a bit worried if they’ve changed their mind!

contact their support they are generally very helpful

 

transfer is enabled so theres no reason to not be able to send them

 

surprised someone has sold at face value on viagogo (tout site) -- i must say

I was too, I never buy off Viagogo due to the prices but it’s a bit worrying now that’s they haven’t been transferred.

i wouldn't worry too much yet, ive bought tickets off procrastinators in the past and they weren't transferred until a day or 2 before the event.

best thing you can do is just spam their support with emails - they will push the seller to transfer

Anyone got some recommendations for who to see on the Introducing stage?

for me, it’s got to be Picture Parlour, they were immense when I saw them at Are You Listening? in Reading.

Yeah PP are one of my must-sees. Would recommend Etta Marcus, JW Paris and Low Girl too.

Interesting that the New Music Stage is back inside a tent. It’s been outdoors the last few years. 
 

In Dundee last year, there were times where the crowd didn’t stretch further than a few rows from the barrier so makes sense I guess.

it was a tent in coventry in 2022

Maybe wishful thinking, but the BBC Sounds schedule certainly seems to give a hint over running order and a vague idea of times, for anyone interested.

Keep an eye on Ticketmaster as well, as that's the official reseller. None currently available for any day, but there were Friday and Saturday ones a couple of days ago.

On Twickets, even if it gives the message to say they’re being bought by somebody else, keep exiting and reentering the same listing as they’re often freed up after a few minutes.

Will we know the times for the whole weekend from Friday (are they all in the magic lanyard)?

Thanks for both of your tips, still no luck as of yet though! Fingers crossed I can get it sorted today/tomorrow. If anyone on here has a spare, do let me know!
