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.

    • Rotten communication. Actually god awful. Posting sporadically on IG, closing Mordor only to reopen and cause some serious carnage. Left the festival as it got too much for my 16year old daughter. She was devastated about Alex G and Mac…but TV girl could have saved it. Took us until 1220 and already home to find out they might/are playing. Pish.    and on another note, this festival has lost its bastard soul. Gone are the wee tents with local sellers selling vinyl, t shirts etc, now you can buy a 50 f**king eur official T-shirt. The ar*e is truely out of this event now. I went to Porto for the first time last year and it was fab. I love Barcelona and the line up is always stacked, but this festival is a corporate loss take. Hopefully a better day tomorrow.
    • f**king horrendous and seems they couldn’t run an egg and spoon race.  zero info and the crush waiting to get in to see Massive Attack was potentially disasterous. Zero info, no stewards at all and was told that the whole evening was cancelled, when we got to the exit. Because it rained. First time attendee and i’ve got onsay, i’m far from impressed. Scalping bastard taxis asking €37 plus for an €11 fare too. Wonderdul.
    • Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better.
