Rose-Colored Boy Posted August 31, 2014 Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 Oh really? Ok. It was just a best guess, but I've not seen anyone else improve on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dentalplan Posted August 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 Wouldn't Foos have been more likely for one around the time they're actually in London rather than two and a half weeks later? "Anyone they can get" is a more likely outcome for the last two dates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dentalplan Posted September 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 Yep 19th is SBTRKT and 30th is Plácido Domingo. That's all folks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jump Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 I wish they'd change the rules so you can apply for as many tixs as you'd like but you can only win 1 pair to stop idiots entering for every act and then complaining they won but not the act they wanted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonTom Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 SBTRKT would be decent but yeah bit of a meh year for itunes I wish they'd change the rules so you can apply for as many tixs as you'd like but you can only win 1 pair to stop idiots entering for every act and then complaining they won but not the act they wanted. Would be helpful but I reckon they would still apply for everything and start complaining they don't have a chance to win anything else.

dentalplan Posted September 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 They could force the applicant to listen to a 30 second preview or two or something. I don't reckon people would go through that for acts they wouldn't wanna see and even if they did then at least they then know who they are.

the wonderwhy Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 3 easy multi-choice questions on the artist you're applying for would suffice. Nobody is going to bother googling the answers for tickets they don't want... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrtourette Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 Why would they want to limit the number of people applying for tickets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jump Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 Why would they want to limit the number of people applying for tickets? To stop people complaining that they won tixs to acts they never heard of aswell as us to stop complaining about people complaining about winning tixs for acts they have never heard of.

mrtourette Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 I'd imagine that's pretty low on their list of priorities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A13 Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 (edited) Just won a pair to David Guetta on Wednesday. Girlfriend won a pair too at the same time/same draw so we have 4 between us. Not really my cuppa tea but might as well. Takes the total up to 3 so far this year, half way to the record of 6 pairs I won last year.

Rose-Colored Boy Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 Lame final additions. Guess we can kiss goodbye to new Adele or F&TM album launches in the immediate future Why would they want to limit the number of people applying for tickets?why wouldn't they? It's not like they're undersubscribed, far better to have good crowds who actually want to be there and in the process avoid awkward moments like Alex Turner's reaction to the crowd last year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrtourette Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 (edited) why wouldn't they? It's not like they're undersubscribed, far better to have good crowds who actually want to be there and in the process avoid awkward moments like Alex Turner's reaction to the crowd last year Better for who? I doubt they give a shit about that. It's all clicks on a web page and the revenue/exposure that brings in. Some people will be put off by reports of 'non-fans' going but the overwhelming majority will be meatheads just clicking another button to like or apply for something.

LondonTom Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 Lame final additions. Guess we can kiss goodbye to new Adele or F&TM album launches in the immediate future Thankfully. I'd imagine Apple would want more people going to different gigs, to hopefully come back home after the gig and buy that album they don't have rather than fans of the act who have brought the album on viynl/cd for their collection already completely bypassing the iTunes system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jump Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 I reckon the way to do it would to have had purchase history on iTunes of the artist you're applying for... Are you really gonna get a 5SOS fan buying a Led Zep/Robert Plant tune to win tickets to something they don't want? Apple then make money on it themselves, too. That wouldn't help me as I never buy anything off Itunes. That's assuming people who have never heard of an act are going to actually go to the event. Yeah, there is a reason why you can que up on the day and get in on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dentalplan Posted September 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 That's where my strategy reigns. Listening to a couple of those 1:30 previews that iTunes offers might get you to buy the record if you didn't have it plus I'd wager it'd filter most people not interested out.

Muppetmark Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 Surely sticking it like this promotes queuing which adds to the hype Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dentalplan Posted September 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 Queuing hype? They should do away with the ballot all together then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
