All Points East Festival 2019

Flicking through the app, I found reference to "wallet" with credits. So do I need to be aware that this is an event using mobile-based payments for everything or would my contactless suffice?

Contactless is fine.

The app has finally updated to include a scheduler. As great as Clashfinder is, the app is gonna be essential if the times are gonna be as loosey-goosey as last year.

Officially you can't and they will get taken down but there's too many listing to take down quickly so a buy it now or short auctions aren't stopped. Also if it's a small event they wouldn't realise it either.

I've just paid £15 for two tixs off Ebay for the Bring Me The Horizon Day.

Just got an email from APE offering VIP upgrades for £29.99 to any of the events, is that what they were always charging or is that cheaper as well?

Depending on the day the VIP tixs are an extra £40-75. Mumford day is taking the piss where it's £140 for a VIP tix compared to the £65 for a normal one.

Nothing happens when I tap “tap here for the lineup builder” on the app. Anyone else having trouble?

I swear this is the shittest app I’ve ever downloaded.

It's pretty shocking.  I've tried saving 'favourites' instead of using the builder but every time I log back in it wipes them all ?

The app is complete garbage. I’ll be printing off the Clashfinder the night before. Old school.

Is it worth investigating VIP?  What do you get that could be worth £25+?

regarding the app, I found last year they changed the set times on the day a LOT so the app wasn't much use anyway.  Maybe that was a teething problem.

Anyone have a solid plan for sneaking in booze?  Last year I had rum in a foil capri sun pouch (was just nearest drink I had to hand for decanting purposes) but it unfortunately triggered the metal detector.  Was lucky to get away with it - security didn't check it had been opened.  Can't remember if the pat-down was such that they would discover a bottle of water (rum) stuffed down the waistband of your shorts?

I don't think VIP is worth it. There's a quicker queues to get inside and access to the VIP area which only real benefit is there's quicker queue for toilets and booze. There's some sofa and chairs in there too if you want to sit down I suppose.

Neither do a lot of people, evidently, but they go up on there so in my experience for big London events like this it's often the easiest way to get in cheap.

First Aid Kit just announced they're pulling out. Wonder if we'll get someone new in that slot of if they'll just move the times around.

Would make sense to just shift Mac DeMarco into that slot

Aye, that's ideal. Long as they don't then bump Ezra Furman into the clashing North Stage headline slot. 

[Gilgamesh69]

That's a shame; I've been trying to see them for a few years now but something always comes up. Thought this was finally my chance and then this happens

In case anyone else is going solo to The Strokes day, there's a meetup group for it here: https://www.meetup.com/indielondon/events/258599106/ - the people going seem really nice!

[LiamMcMillen]

Did YOTA pull out of the Chems day? Can't seen them on the app anymore.

That would be gutting. Was hoping to get a good place before Bon Over but can't stand Mac. Surely we'll get a replacement.

Anyone got recommendations for which station to use to get into the park? what side will the main entrance be?

Mile End is the closest station, the entrance is at the top of Grove Road.

Hackney Wick is usually the closest station and is on the Overground.  Not sure on entrance but you'll see loads of people walking so follow them.  Or just use something like Citymapper and when you get into the general area you'll see signs and stewards etc.

If this DM was around sneaking in booze I'd be keen to hear it!

Two-for-one tickets for Christine, BMTH, Mumford and Bon Iver.

Let's say it was a friend who found the offer on Tinder

Bit late now but thank you very much for this tip, got the two days I wanted and half off is a massive saving.
