BST Hyde Park 2015

[Gucci Piggy]

May consider if there are any 2-for-1 deals nearer the time, despite how poor they were when I previously saw them, and how it'll probably be even worse at Hyde Park. Will be going to London the day after for Foos anyway, so going down a day earlier won't make a difference to me.

[dentalplan]

At least the cheap ticket deals won't occur while at Glastonbury this time.

[guitarbhoy1888]

are we likely to get cheap deals ?

i'm going down for foos and extended my stay for this today. just dunno whether to hold off on tickets tomorrow or not :/

You'll be able to wait. If they start to show up as 'sold out', which most would agree is very unlikely to happen at all, then it means they're going through their batches and it might be time to buckle and grab a full price one.

Yeah, I reckon even if it does sell out you will easily be able to pick up at least a face value nearer the time/on the day.

Last time Blur played Hyde Park it didn't sell out did it? Initially it did, but then the sun had a massive for 2 for 1 offer and I don't remember seeing it sold out after that.

[guitarbhoy1888]

to be fair though. blur was a bit of a shambles unless you were in the front 15 rows. seemed it was set up for far less people than were actually there.

just bit the bullet and bought them this morning.

axs are having a laugh though. £7.50 booking on EACH ticket

sorry this hasnt really got anything to do with anything but what alcohol do they sell inside hyde park?

[atomised]

Very expensive alcohol. But that aside i think it was fosters, strongbow. Wines. May have been a couple of real ales

[the wonderwhy]

They say:

In addition to key brands Heineken®, Foster’s, Desperados, Strongbow, Bulmers, Kronenbourg 1664 and John Smith’s, we offer a wide range of niche and speciality beers and ciders including Amstel, Tiger, Sol, Newcastle Brown Ale, Deuchars IPA, Symonds Founders Reserve and Birra Moretti.

Although I didn't see half of those. It was somewhere between £4 and £4.50 for a pint of Heineken I think

[DarthSaul]

Also any spirit based drinks are those premixed cans which they pour into a cup for you

The big bars sell Heineken, Fosters, Strongbow, Spirit & Mix in cans, wine and softs - there's also about 6 other bars on site which sell the same plus some (or all) of the following Amstel, real ales, Bulmers (normal & Berry), Symonds. Strongbow Dark Fruits, normal spirit & mix, shots.

Not sold - John Smiths, Sol, Desperados, Tiger, Deuchers etc

That niche specialty beer Amstel. Oh the trawling one must do to find one.

Vintage Trouble and some more added to The Who day

Offer now available for the who, blur and the strokes. Any 2 for 99 quid

So now about the price they should have been in the first place I must admit I am vaguely tempted by the Blur and The Strokes combo especially with Beck playing.

[atomised]

Definitely makes the price more realistic. Went for the strokes and blur combo myself. Was no way I was paying 75 for the blur day. 50 quid a day seems about right. Suggests even blur hasn't sold at quite the rate expected

[dentalplan]

If you've already bought a GA ticket apparently you can refund and do the offer as well. That's generous.

I'd imagine thats protection for future years, otherwise they would never have been people buying tickets in advance !

Anyway that is fairly tempting! Shame the Who date is Glastonbury weekend! Tempted for Strokes and Blur...even though it will be shit sound as its Hyde Park

[BruceBuffer]

Has anyone tried to get a refund for existing purchases yet? I bought 2 from AXS for The Strokes and 3 from Ticketmaster for Blur. Wonder how it works to refund 2 from each?

[guitarbhoy1888]

how do you get this deal ?

already got strokes but a refund would make me consider blur too

[atomised]

It's on ticketmaster

[calumhandy1]

Gunna throw this out there what about jack white doing the Friday between stokes and blur no uk dates yet so maybe a one off Hyde park date?!

Is he big enough to do a Hyde Park gig though? I don't think he sold out the O2 when he played there last year. I think he'll have finished touring by then anyway.

The Strokes, Jack White and Blur would be a good way to spend 3 days though!

[dentalplan]

His tour ends in a couple of weeks so it won't be him even if he could be seen as big enough.

I'm not certain but I think the remaining date is for Sunday 28th. I saw a volunteering page for it (with artist name undisclosed) but can't find it now so might have been rescheduled.

[calumhandy1]

He's headlining coachella so he could probably do Hyde park if mc busted could do it last year anyone can!'
