All Points East Festival 2019

[Chef]

4k sold sounds just too bad to be true. Its going to be mortifying for the acts if it is...

We're tempted by VIP tickets for Saturday but, is it really even worth it? Literally only talking about it because it's cheaper now but, has anybody here done it before?

From my perspective, it looks rubbish. Perhaps good if you had a health issue or were infirm, otherwise wouldn't bother.

[Andre91]

There is absolutely no way in the world that that BMTH bill has sold only 4,000 tickets. Whoever has heard that must have heard wrong. There is no way that there are only 4,000 BMTH, Architects and While She Sleeps fans who have decided to go. I've just used those three bands as an example as they all have large, strong fanbases. That figure cannot be accurrate.

Not worth it mate 

Basically get you a separate area with a bar and toilets in, and that's it

[1986]

Think Showfilm will likely do this for Mumfords?

Never thought I'd ask that but I'm at Bon the day after so could spend the weekend.

Ahh right yeah we'll leave it then, nice one!

They'd already pulled out of their slot on BMTH day but sad news about 404.

wow - that's seriously shit.  

Yep, real terrible! 

I assume they will be about half full due to guestlists, giveaways, cheap tickets and last minute buyers but it seems as though it's not a great year for them all round (except for The Strokes which will be SO BUSY)

[Gwenjamin88]

Any comp winners got a spare Dice ticket for tonight?

This is where i'm at, considering BMTH did two days at Ally Pally, Architects did one and WSS did nearly 2000 tickets in London on their last tour, there is literally zero chance that they have only sold that many.

Just won some C+Q on Dice...I'm guessing just about everyone who entered will win?

I've not sure myself but I'm assuming it is past the point you can cancel acts without paying compensation to them and the fees associated with the site are shared with the other days so you wouldn't save that much?

it's standard to pay half of a band's fee a month before.

The site is (in a sense) free - there's no saving by cancelling - but there is a loss, because traders and bar concessions will have been sold. You give those value by getting punters in (hence the giveaways).

Then there's also the reputation cost to the event as a whole. By padding it out with freebies you can give the impression it's flying not struggling.

Yep also won

Anyone know how Bon Iver is selling? That’s the main date I’m looking to go to

I'm still trying to get my head round the Johnny/Jarvis clash tomorrow. I mean, there's likely to be a large crossover in fans/ages and you've got Connan Mockasin - whose profile doesn't seem to be that high over here (dunno, maybe I'm getting old but I only know him for his collaborating with MGMT on their last record) playing after Jarvis - why don't they invert the time slots for those two?

Jarvis is also more of a nighttime artist, all that sleaze and groove. I'm so disappointed about having to choose between the charming man and the common people!

just out of interest (I have no idea) do they strongly share the same fanbase?

It's just if they do, a potential (say) 12,000 might become 5-6,000.

By the way - can anyone tell me if security allows people to take cameras into the festival? The website says "professional photography" is strictly prohibited, but what if I want to bring a relatively compact old film camera (that might make me look like a pretentious hipster)? It's a lot smaller than an average DSLR. 

[Raspberry]

Cannot believe these have sold so poorly?!

Thanks all for sharing as super happy to go as was out of our price range at £45 a tkt.

Gutted for the bands though I'm hoping so many freebies will generate a good atmosphere for the stages

 

[Guy Incognito]

How do I transfer tickets? Wn some for the CATQ day, which I can't actually attend, and want to send them to my girlfriend for her to use. 

[dj_tim]

Bought the £3.50 tickets for C+TQ last night after having no luck in the comps, then just won tickets through Dice.There must be absolutely loads unsold.

Does anyone know if I collect the showfilms tix before 5pm, if i can enter after 5pm although it says early entry 

Sometimes the deadline is genuine & will be enforced other times not so much.

Ive been 10mins late & the jobsworth on the gate refused to let me in. I went to a diff gate & tagged in with a large group. The barcode beeped invalid on the scanner but bloke just had a look then waved me through anyway. Legend!

Prob not worth the risk for APE as its so cheap & good lineup on the day if you can avoid it...

I suspect for APE it will be hand held scanners again like last year at the main entry gate so just present printout, scan & in you go (subject to security & bag checks etc).

Got a pair of CATQ tickets, pm me as i can't go anyway and i'll get them sent your way

gone
