Blur's calendar is free as a bird after their Hyde Park gig at the weekend. My thoughts are that if they do replace Foos at glasto, it wouldn't be announced until after then, as ticket sales for the gig are not as good as the organisers expected? It would be awesome if they played though!

Said this a few times but I don't think it matters anymore. You can bet BST released exactly enough tickets yesterday to bring the crowd up to a minimum level they're happy with. Any further full price purchases (and they might get a small number in light of last night's news) are a bonus from here in.

I agree, I got an email this morning to say they are selling Hyde Park tickets for Charity, on a 'pay what you want basis'.   :sarcastic:

Yeah two years in a row of slashing prices

Can't be good surely?

Absolutely right. And the problem is compounded because people expect prices to be slashed so they hold off buying tickets

Tickets are going for £7.50 anyway apparently so hardly going to make a difference

I can now answer my own question, having received an email in the last hour.

They got me to phone 02037847998 quote my donation number.  On hold for 10 mins (Mr Grohl's fault no doubt!) and paid £5 booking fee and received the e-tickets straight away!

Has anyone heard anything about the BST charity tickets today?  I had an email last night about it being looked into, but nothing since.

 

Just got an email, telling me to call the same phone number as someone else posted.

 

My only concern is that I have tickets for one of my donations already. Was there a limit on how many you could buy? I feel like there wasn't and that you could order 4 or 6 if you wanted?

 

And before anyone asks, I did actually donate twice!

Maximum of two per donation. 

 

No idea if you could go back and donate again on the same card though.

Oh yeah that's what I did. I made two donations on the same card, requesting two each time as I'd thought the first didn't work. I might just ask them when I call up.

 

This is what the email says:

We now have updated the system and can accommodate to book your ticket.

(Customers have to donate via Just Giving first (having come from the BST site initially) then they will be directed to the AXS offer page online where they can redeem up to 2 tickets for £2.50 each. )

As the offer is no longer available online, please give us a call at 02037847998 so we can book ticket for you.

Alternatively, send us your contact number and we will give you a call as soon as we can.

Please make your donation reference number ready as our staff will need it to book your ticket.

    • I've come across a few this weekend saying Deftones aren't big enough for Download.   I would recommend b&b hotel hbf the night before....cheap, comfortable and very decent. Within 10 minutes from the station and a tram stop outside to jump on...all travel is free during the festival time as well with a kombi. Lidl is very good and cheap I can't lie....€6 for a chair with carey handle, €20 with a bag too...you can work that out yourself.   If you camp, get up at 5am and go to the queue....literally don't question it as now I know.     The travel wise part is easy when you get the hang of it and I've never had an easier exit from a festival today tbh. We were camped in the turn left section but past the registration and to get water you have to come right out.   Opening up an exit through he camp at least by Friday morning when everyobe is there would be much better but you csnt walk through general if you're green and sonon.   I think the issue for me probably too is I have never taken like a mutliple litre water too, I've always done a 6 pack water from like poundland lol but you definitely need it. I had one shower that was cold lol   Talking of getting into the front, Volbeat was the only easy one, for Maiden and especially Linkin Park if you weren't in the queue for it by at least the last quarter ot Architects you had no hope....it was shocking. I do like orbit to sit down. I had to decide to sack off Within Temptation too or no chance.   Second stage biggest gripe is the faff of walking all the way round when VIP or whatever it is literally get access to each bit. I did read tbh before going people though RIP/Ring was turning too much the wrong way.   Also as a side note, caught some of Limp Bizkit last night too and they are not headliner but any distance at all. Yes they pull a crowd...they would do with LP finished but on the grand scale its a super weak booking. Stop, start for video recordings all the way through a headline set?, 1hr 15 minutes and you can't play for that time. I'm so glad they were not chosen to headline main.   On another thing, if RIP played it right they'll get GC and Avril to sub/second stage headline on the Blink day.   Toilets and cleanliness is a big plus I will say that.    
    • Any of the likes of Keo, Basht. and Cardinals could all fit in here.  Although they’re the sort of bands that could fit many of the stages at Glastonbury 
    • Glasto loves a come back act - how about the Rapture?    
    • Yeah mentioned in the park thread but feel more Woodsies to me 
    • New Modest Mouse Album is out
