iTunes Festival 2014

[Dom Wall]

Yeah, no app this year. Just apply through the store, and the gigs are only being streamed through the store too.

[the wonderwhy]

There is an app, i've just downloaded it, but all it does is link you back to the store at the moment so seems pretty pointless

[TheSilence]

Fucking hell Beck would be fantastic

[Babyquack]

Going to apply to Beck and 5sos - will probably end up going up to try for the standby queue for Beck though.

[rawaudioinput]

I reckon 5SOS will face the same issues as 1D in 2012, which will be funny

What trouble did they have then? I presume thousands of girls camping out on the street overnight kind of thing?

[rawaudioinput]

Loads of kids not being allowed in as they were under 14 or had registered for the tickets under their parents' names

The venue was so empty that they had to try and drag people off the street to come in and put up a Facebook status asking people to come down to Roundhouse and see One Direction

They were considering not streaming the concert as they feared it would be, in the words of one of the staff I was chatting to "an embarrassment for both the band and the event"

Haha, that's hilarious. I may well pop down then and see about getting in

[justanothername]

I haven't applied for any tickets yet as the only act I'd bother to try and get tickets for are Kasabian and I don't really fancy going all the way down for London for them since I'm seeing them in December anyway

[dentalplan]

First draw is tomorrow. Good luck.

[A13]

Imagine we can expect to see Foo Fighters, Kaiser Chiefs and Ellie Goulding on the back of the Invictus Games announcement.

Yeah, I'd guess Rizzle Kicks support and maybe The Vamps to from that really.

Foo Fighters would be ace even if a recent repeat

[the wonderwhy]

Looks like they've started dishing out emails, seen lots of winners for David Guetta, Kasabian and 5SOS

[dentalplan]

Yeah. First draw was today (I said that) and it's already started...

I've won tickets to see beck at itunes festival I'm crying who is he

Why have I won Robert Plant iTunes festival tickets

[the wonderwhy]

If I win tickets to see Pharrell at iTunes I might burn them

[Scoobdriver]

Won tickets for Beck, ! ! really wanted Guetta though :/ any scope for swaps ?

[rawrsomesauce]

Won for Guetta, a nice surprise.

They're non-transferrable so you can't really swap them. Next draw is in two weeks so you might get Guetta tickets through that. Also in the case that you're not gonna go to Beck you could always not claim them so they go back into the draw.

WHY ON EARTH ENTER A COMPETITION WHEN YOU DON'T WANT THE PRIZE? AND THEN COMPLAIN ABOUT WINNING? IS IT TO PISS OF THOSE WHO DID WANT TO WIN? HUH? IS THAT IT? YOU ABSOLUTE SHITS.

ITS FREE...MOSTLY

But yeah same every year, very strange. Even stranger are the ones who say they don't like the acts they won tickets for. (Don't know is kind of aceptable, as you might be willing to give something a chance )

Nothing yet for me, should really have something so you've got more chance if you are in a London postcode

[dentalplan]

You don't even enter your postcode in the application so I don't quite believe that. Although people in London do have a bigger chance of seing the acts they want what with not having to travel across country to queue up for acts that people have claimed tickets to knowing that they don't want to go.

[the wonderwhy]

They ask you to put in your county, what's that for?

I said "should"....I don't think it happens currently, but it should

[Babyquack]

They ask you to put in your county, what's that for?

I'm not sure but I always say Greater London, even when I'm in Berks, just in case they give preference to those close by or last minute tickets pop up as I'm able to get there fairly easily.

[PastCaring]

They ask you to put in your county, what's that for?

Presumably, they do allocate tickets according to your location, in some way.

We only put in for Robert Plant tickets (he was the only one that we thought we would be bothered to travel to London to see) - but, so far, no win .....
