As much as I'm pissing on my own (Hot) chips here re my chances of getting a ticket, yes there is . I've got the press release here:

'Streamland will also welcome a small, socially distanced audience, creating atmosphere and ambience and giving the band the opportunity to bounce off a live audience, adding another layer of authenticity.'

Oh hm, seems they haven't been very clear at all. Do you have any idea at all where to get tickets tho?

It seems like they purposely haven't publicised the real audience part as it said nothing about it in the emails I got.

Maybe there's no sale and the tickets have already been allocated? Friends and family of the band & crew or something like that

[Zoo Music Girl]

Where did you get the press release from Homer? Presume it tells you in that how to apply for them?

Am a journalist and my colleague sent it to me earlier. It's still not all that clear though. Having reread it and hit the link, I think the ticket info instruction is indeed just for streaming 'tickets'. Looks like Gilgamesh may be right and the spaces have already been allocated elsewhere!

[Gilgamesh69]

Could always jump the fence? Or glide off that building in the back? 

[Homer]

What a 'rollercoaster' 30 mins that was!

what's the point of the presale? are they limiting capacity or something?

I think there might be different bands of ticket releases? The email said that prices start at £XX, so the second batch of tickets are a couple of quid more? Who knows!

[eFestivals]

from the hot chip press release (just the bits you want to know)....

Margate's Dreamland is set to host a UK first on Saturday 5th September when Hot Chip perform an exclusive, globally streamed, live gig dubbed ‘Streamland’, before a socially distanced audience.

 

Tickets will be on sale with DICE at 1pm (BST) on Wednesday 12th August.

[Gilgamesh69]

Oh damn, the plot thickens. Just weird that they haven't actually mentioned this in any of their social media posts. Seems to just be in the press releases...

According to the emails I've had that 1pm sale today is the general sale for the streaming audience? I think what was suggested before might be right, that the live audience has been selected elsewhere somehow.

Yep, this is what I had too - Tickets will be on sale with DICE at 1pm (BST) on Wednesday 12th August - and DMed to Gilgamesh yesterday. We were a tad confused as to why there would need to be a pre-sale for a virtual gig but there you go! As said yesterday, I think I got the wrong end of the stick from the release and the 1pm sale is indeed more virtual tix.

Yeah I've no idea why there would be a presale. Cheaper price maybe? They can't be limiting ticket numbers.

Wonder how they've selected the love audience. Could just be friends and family maybe.

[Homer]

Just went in and... no Dice.

Turns out the pre-sale was offering the comparative 'bargain' price for the stream of £11.50 (instead of £13.50).

Have decided to boycott the Hot Chips from hereon, for putting me through this

Don't blame the Chips, I'll shoulder them (like Jesus).

I've prob seen Hot Chip more than any other band over the last five years or so, so prob not the end of the world.

I bought a streaming ticket. I would absolutely love to go though, with Margate being my local venue pretty much. It’s who you know with these things though isn’t it 

[DJL]

I got one in the pre-sale, no idea how this will compare with watching the Glastonbury and Bluedot videos recently but I'm yet to *not* enjoy any sort of Hot Chip gig so I'm all in

Think I remember someone telling me that people who live nearby get offered tickets to events there, as compensation for the noise? So just buy an apartment there, easy solution haha

 

 

But goddamn I really miss Dreamland. I went in August '17, had a little post-glastonbury reunion with a friend there. Was one of the happiest days of my adult life, and I want to return someday 😩

Do you know, I actually nearly did a few years back. Really regret not doing that now and renting it out. Apartments quite close to the sea front were ridiculously cheap at the time- probably some of the cheapest property in the UK. Gone up quite a bit now though :-(.

Will set you back 55 quid.

[Quark]

Definitely tempted by the streaming gig. Not up for heading to Margate, although that's nothing to do with Covid

Makes me feel better - clicked the link and it had sold out, then saw this after. Wouldn't have paid it anyway!
