We represent scheme

[kev1664]

Has anyone actually signed up to the we represent scheme. It looks like it could be worth it if you and 8 others are going. Sell 8 get your own ticket free. I wonder if it is as no strings attached as it sounds.

It could be a way for some on here to get a free ticket out of organising the way they normally do.

You have to sell 8 tickets each don't you?

Tempted to try it, I reckon I can wrangle some sales via twitter...

Haven't heard of this but seems like a good system, both to encourage people to go and to be abused.

[jonodillieono]

Yer, there's at least 9 of us going so if it's as easy as it sounds it's a nice £22 off

This thread should be merged with the 'Tickets not selling well this year' thread.

Every single thread should be merged with the 2013 line-up thread.

And why should posters here use this scheme rather than efests links?

[Yellow_Fellow]

Because this is free, duh.

My mistake. How ridiculous of me to think that people who spend a large proportion of time using this site to discuss the festival and find out information about it might want to purchase tickets they would anyway in a way that might support it.

I always think these schemes are a bit of a shit, but then I've never really been in a bigish group of people for anything so would obviously rather they just didn't bother with discounting for people with lots of friends...(For example I am getting the same, maybe less campsite space as I don't need the communal area but end up paying more).

And help the site, the ads alone don't support it.

The touts will buy the tickets get a free one and be quids in. Having said that don't think they would risk it as they have been stung the last couple of years.

I've just applied (a free ticket to Reading would be sweet) but the e-mail address on the website doesn't appear to work o.O

[kaosmark2]

I agree in principle, I generally try to use links for tixs I buy as long as they are posted but I've got to point out the hypocrisy about you having used ebay to get cheap tixs the last 3 times (if I remember correctly) you've gone to Reading festival.

[mrtourette]

Unfortunately Kaosmark in this case I think it is unrealistic expecting people to buy tickets through a link that generates pence for this site when they can save £22 on a weekend ticket.

In previous experience of this type of scheme for Beach Break at university, where tickets are only £100 or so, it never worked out really worth it for the amount of effort reps had to put in trying to get students to buy their tickets off them.

Most gave up on it & bought their own ticket as most people who went just went directly to the website for a ticket rather than through their own rep link out of sheer laziness to bother.

Anybody recieved an email back from WeRepresent yet?
