I'm having to explain to them that there's no point in me giving priority to something where there's absolutely no point in me doing so because they insist on me publishing after the point of giving something priority isn't there by their own doings.

But I have just spurned the opportunity for an embargo'd press release for it, because I'm bored with silly games. I take it it's not today then? I'm not buying tickets until I find out at least some of the acts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're aiming to get priority press while ensuring none of it can be priority press, because of those conditions. So, I've pointed out it's pointless and the opposite of priority, and therefore the event will be treated as the not-priority thing that their muddle dictates.

Think this approach is going to backfire on them. Seem to be hoping that the hype will lead to ticket sales whereas the responses to their cryptic tweets are almost exclusively negative with most folk stating explicitly they'll not part with cash until the line up has announced. It might be the 'wee sister' of T in the Park but it is, for all intents and purposes, a new festival which doesn't have the necessary reputation to trade on as yet.

We don't yet know what kind of lineup it will be. Will it be t minus the EDM, something like Connect or even something completely different. Radiohead have long been touted but was the source of this rumour (DR) not the same source that got Liam Gallagher wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt my attitudes will really backfire on them, but that's not the point of my stance anyway. I'm just not getting into stupid and pointless (from my end) marketing bollocks that makes my already 14-hour days even longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calise Posted January 31, 2017 Report Share Posted January 31, 2017 Just been on ticketmaster to try to find out prices of day tickets as opposed to weekend tickets. No prices as yet and says general sale is 3rd February.Surely they would announce bands before tickets went on general sale? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DomDom1984 Posted January 31, 2017 Report Share Posted January 31, 2017 (edited) More expensive than that for T's three day non camping. Not bad. EDIT: Not as big a fest obviously, but I'll probably get just as much out of it. Edited January 31, 2017 by DomDom1984 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tori1607 Posted January 31, 2017 Report Share Posted January 31, 2017 Guessing we ain't getting lineup today but surely at least one headliner before general sale? Not a chance i am buying tickets blind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
addicted2noise Posted January 31, 2017 Report Share Posted January 31, 2017 That's actually pretty good value, would be tempted to go all three days depending on the lineup/stages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye I meant the marketing strategy as a whole rather than your situation, however making life unnecessary difficult for sites like this won't do them any favours. Those prices are decent though, unless the line up is dire I can see me going for the three days based on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingcrawler Posted January 31, 2017 Report Share Posted January 31, 2017 Even if the other headliners aren't that great I'll probably end up going all three days too, don't have to pay for accommodation, decent prices and there will likely be enough to keep me interested.

DomDom1984 Posted January 31, 2017 Report Share Posted January 31, 2017 Calvin Harris won't happen. Neither will Chemical Brothers for that matter. I'd guess that if you want EDM, you might want to go elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
