  1. Yeah I can understand the oversaturation thing but they're not exactly bad albums, just don't meet the high bar set by joy. Still a fantastic band live though.

    What sort of thing RE being twats? I just assumed they didn't come out immediately virtue signalling on social media which lets be honest doesn't achieve anything

  2. Of course big thief can. I guess this is one of the few festivals that can get away with it but most festivals need to book names that are more recognisable to the wider population in order to sell tickets 

     

    I would use Glastonbury placement as a good metric. Lankum last slot there was the breakfast slot on park. Future islands and UMO in comparison had prime time evening slots. Whilst other  prime time acts on that year were Michael kiwanuka, Kurt Vile, idles little Sims etc who are the sort of act EOTR have been booking to headline

    Further to the above Spotted on Facebook. Can not beleive they dont get enough performer tickets for the whole group even though there is a lot of them. 

    I know they are small stage fodder but could easily also do an early slot on the park or WH.

    They're a novelty act no way they could get on a mainstage

    Im a Paramedic who has volunteered for them before. The perks are you only have to do 2 x 8 hour shifts and have unlimited showers.

    I would personally much rather work 3 x 8 hours shifts doing Oxfam or shelter. You just can't completely enjoy yourself knowing youve got a shift coming up where you might need to resuscitate someone. 

    Physio myself so don't need to worry about sprained ankles lol

  5. Hey guys. Looking at FMS as an option but there seems to be a fair amount of outlay with training and insurance  costs and they seem to have quite high standards when it comes to experience required. Is there any benefit to these roles as opposed to just applying for Oxfam (which seems easier, cheaper with more benefits)?

  6. It is completely different to big groups as one person can in theory get on and get tickets guaranteed for as many as they want hence opening the door to getting guaranteed tickets 'for a fee' it's not fair no matter which way you swing it 

  7. The percentage of groups successful thread suggests it's even more prominent. Think it was 50 percent of groups had 100 percent success rate which you'd assume the hack was used for. The only fair thing to do is trace these tickets and put them back in the pot

    If the sellers united to not undercut each other the bargain hunters will have to make a call on paying asking or not going to the festival so that swings both ways.

    True but there's hundreds of tickets on there. With tickets fees I'm still looking at paying the same as if I had gone for early bird. If it was me I'd be dropping the price a little bit to get at least something back
