All Points East Festival 2019

[jump]

I think people are being a tad dramatic about Bring Me The Horizon, these London park festivals are always like this.

On a side note I remember a few years ago being given tickets for a corporate box at the O2 arena for BMTH as no one was interested in seeing them at work. My memory of them at the time was when I saw them at Reading Festival during their early days of shouty-screaming music and not the pop-metal it is today, so after drinking a lot of free booze during the support bands I was trying to figure out if it was a different band to whom I thought they were or if I was just shit faced drunk.

So why aren't all dates handing tickets out wholesale?

Apologies if this has already been mentioned but I got an email from APE yesterday about the friends of APE scheme.

The cut off is 19th May and then free tickets will be sorted after.

What about timetable? Any idea when will we get times for Strokes day?

Probably come out a week or so before

I didn't release there were so many ticket giveaways going on. Entered all the ones I could find for BMTH, fingers crossed.

If you Google "Win BMTH All Points East", most of the first two pages have active competitions. Some require signing up to a mailing list, some a social media follow, but there's plenty out there!

Need to remember to check their Twitter next Saturday

Seen on Instagram that set times for, at least the first week, are coming out on Friday.

[Sean1234321]

Where does it say that?

[FakeEmpire]

It's a comment on the most recent post on their page.

I'd have thought that 'next friday' written on Sunday means the 17th rather than the 10th. Hope I'm wrong though.

I had that thought but am choosing to ignore it.

[Sean1234321]

Yeah does seem a bit early, would be good though to get them this week.

Twattish behaviour to deliberately leave open to ambiguity when they could have just written a week on Friday. 

[Sean1234321]

Sayings like 'this friday' are considered so obvious in its meaning to some people, that they don't even consider that it's actually not very clear at all.

"Twattish behaviour" seems a bit harsh when it could have easily been an oversight by that member of staff.

Instagram wasn't updating properly by the looks of it (it says how long ago a comment was written, not when) - it was actually written on Saturday. Really could be either. Not twattish though IMO, just sloppy.

OK, 'sloppy twattish' then, my point is that you can bet your bottom dollar the person who wrote 'next Friday' considers themselves a 'communications expert' and will have words to that effect on their CV. People who work in social media/communications should be mindful about not writing things that are open to misinterpretation.

Next Friday is definitely ambiguous, as is shown on here.

I wouldn't be surprised the person who wrote "next Friday" is just an unpaid intern or the receptionist. I worked for some big companies and stuff like who runs the twitter or whatever account is a complete oversight.

Fair enough, still think it's poor form for a massive company like AEG to have unpaid, not-competent-for-the-role interns and the buck stops with AEG for such sloppiness!

Yeah I'm appalled at the way they're treating their customers. I will be boycotting the event this year!

If I can't get cheap/free tickets I will join in with your boycott!
