Dronx Posted May 11, 2019 Report Share Posted May 11, 2019 Is there a front section at ape on the main stage? Or is it one big area? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's nothing to stop anyone just walking to the front, if that's what you mean. VIP tickets just get you through the gates quicker and access to an extra area for bars/food/toilets behind the main stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. It opens at 1/2 and the headliner is not on til 9 onwards. For LCD last year it was easy to get right to the front until the 2nd/3rd last act, no-one was camping out there all day.

The singer plays such a critical role in the band’s sound. Just feels completely inauthentic to watch Smiths songs without Morrissey. Not much better than watching a covers band to my mind, despite Marr’s skills and place in the original. Johnny Marr isn't a very good example this. He wrote all of The Smiths music. I don't think any of Morrissey's solo work is of the same calibre, with the possible exception of what he did with Stephen Street. But anyway, personally, I will be watching Jarvis Cocker. Partly because I know I will get to see Johnny Marr at Glastonbury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

internetjef Posted May 12, 2019 Report Share Posted May 12, 2019 Evening all. Long time Glastonbury forum lurker and occasional poster. If anybody is looking to get rid of two regular price tickets (not VIP), for strokes day please drop me a message. Foolishly thought they wouldn’t sell out and could call it nearer the day. I was wrong. Any help greatly appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FakeEmpire Posted May 13, 2019 Report Share Posted May 13, 2019 I'd keep an eye on Twickets - they keep popping up on there although selling quite quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FakeEmpire Posted May 13, 2019 Report Share Posted May 13, 2019 I've been very lucky with APE this year. We bought Bon Iver tickets but have won tickets for The Strokes, Christine & the Queens and Bring Me The Horizon. Hoping to get my hands on cheap tickets for Chemical Brothers and Mumford & Sons and hit up all 6 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaarlie Posted May 13, 2019 Report Share Posted May 13, 2019 Is Twickets the best place to be looking out for cheap tickets? Looking for BMTH and Chems tickets but the Twickets fee and delivery mean the £50 tickets are not far off the price of official ones. Worth holding out longer?

The longer you hold out, the more the price will drop - just depends how long you can hold your nerve for! There may be some cheaper options out there but increased risk of non-legit tickets on other sites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shikari20 Posted May 13, 2019 Report Share Posted May 13, 2019 I’m holding out for some tickets for the bmth, once all these competitions end those who have already bought tickets and won will be flogging them off cheaply? I imagine bring me are struggling with all these competitions for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jump Posted May 13, 2019 Report Share Posted May 13, 2019 People keep saying BMTH are struggling but on the touty resale sites Chem Bros & Christine are the ones with way more tixs for sale and whenever I'm on the tube/bus I see posters for Bon Iver and the flyers before gigs they are generally for Bon Iver too.

1986 Posted May 13, 2019 Report Share Posted May 13, 2019 Maybe it would have made more sense to put the arguably bigger Mumford's on the Friday so people wouldn't weigh up a day off work when buying BMTH tickets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Advertising Bon Iver doesn't mean that day has low (or the lowest) sales though. None (except Strokes) have sold out so the logical thing to do is advertise your best remaining product, the one most likely to entice people and lead to the biggest uplift in sales. If anything, it suggests Bon Iver has the highest sales of those left and making more people aware of it is the most profitable strategy.

big__phil Posted May 13, 2019 Report Share Posted May 13, 2019 I know they probably want to split people between the stages, but some of those clashes are savage. Primal Scream/Jon Hopkins/Gold Panda on the Friday is a helluva choice. Oh well, nice problem to have I guess! Hardly any times when there is nothing to see.
