Blur?

[Space Shanty]

Are AC/DC realistic if they're to play Berlin on the Thursday night?
Suppose all you can do is ask.

That would be a huge upgrade on the Foos and they could play for as many hours as you like

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!

Muse are elsewhere

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.

ahh, I'd not checked. Thanks.

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'.

Anyone know when we're likely to get stage times etc for Saturday? Remember it being out a few days before last year.

These times are from the official app and rawaudioinput lovingly put them on clashfinder.

To my knowledge this is a unique sales process for these shows. Long term viability of Hyde Park as venue has to be called into question now.

Yeah two years in a row of slashing prices

Can't be good surely?

Oh cheers. Might get the app too.

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

Yup - it's become a self-fulfilling prophecy. They're well and truly scuppered.

[big__phil]

Even if Muse were free, I couldn't see it being them. The album was pretty badly recevied, plus it would be their third headline appearance in about 10 years or so.

 

Looks like Blur to me.

[big__phil]

It's Flo

[big__phil]

Did I win?! Was I first??!

[big__phil]

Aahhh nuts, wrong thread. My one time to shine, and I bollocks'd it up.

[jcd_lowe]

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

[Hugh Jass]

Selfishly I'm glad that it isn't Blur, means I can enjoy Saturday and then something else on Friday.

[jcd_lowe]

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!

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!

[evilduck]

Nice one, I'll let a friend know who's still waiting on info from yesterday

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.
