Headliners 2015

[JBarbour]

Everyone got an email, right? Another case of the supposed primacy of social media over the usual agreed channels. "Oh we didn't get a tweet!" So what.

I paid off 6 tickets. Only 2 of us got reminder emails about balance, and 4 got email to say balance was paid.

So unbelievably slack this year

You get the impression this festival is still organised from a shed on the farm.

Yeah the hundreds of artists they book each year are done carrier pigeon

[Andy0808 v5]

I'm not needy enough to mind that contact from the festival has been limited this year.

Even without an email reminder I paid it off as soon as possible and spend every waking moment on this website reading about it.

If a few people have not paid their balance off for that reason it just means someone on this site who is desperate to go has more of a chance to get one which is fine by me!

To be fair, if you can't be arsed to check for yourself when the balance is due then it's your own fault. Too many people want to be spoon fed everything these days!

A snide, condescending attitude has crept into this forum's discourse in recent months.

The problem with releasing the lineup after the resale is that people still have time to return tickets if the lineup isnt to peoples fancy they will then have to do a whole new resale of the late returned tickets

Surely they want to know the figure of returned tickets and sell them all in resale?

[Chewie]

somebody earlier in the thread claims to have not received an email

I think a lot of the emails ended up being diverted by spam filters

Happened to me

Haha if that's about my post, it wasn't meant to be snide.

During a payment window it's reasonable to expect notification of the window opening and a last chance reminder just before the closing of the window. Particularly during the Easter holidays, when folk with families are maybe away for the whole week.

this is a good point actually, and probably a good reason to think the lineup will come before the main resale. i'm sure they don't want a ridiculous amount of tickets being in the pot for the secret resales

Quite the contrary mate.

[Bignews]

sick of going on that line up page and seeing that picture of the pyramid with some fireworks

[Andy0808 v5]

On an unrelated note, can we add Joiners Southampton to the troll list?

[Matt - Ed Banger Records]

Haha, I definitely didn't go to check their Twitter feed at 9am....

[russycarps]

the devastating florence and the machine announcement creeps ever closer.

Mike99 is truly the scum of the earth for getting my hopes up over stone roses. I will never ever forgive that low life.

It's not the despair, I can take the despair. It's the hope that destroys you.

edit gah got mike and matt mixed up!

Maybe they have to wait for the official line up before releasing their news.

Haha who am I kidding.

[briddj]

They are all in on it.

[efcfanwirral]

Balance payment closed - just got a follow that page

[Jakkkkobz]

I had to remind most of my friends to pay yesterday, they were not aware or they are idiots or most likely a bit of both,

I think people have been extremely patient and that deserves some kind of reward....

bizarre, cringey comment -- perhaps you could try picketing the festival office?

they could release the line-up on friday 26 june and it would still be a sell-out. i think that'd actually be hilarious if they did that.

The announcement is on the Joiners website, it's Alvvays

[FloorFiller]

pretty much knew they were gonna be there anyway but there's one to add to my list of must sees!

Yep, same here. In lieu of any other lineup news, I'm happy with that.
