Definitely won't bother buying a ticket next year Unless I was absolutely desperate to see whoever was on I’d never pay full price for any of these gigs. You can usually pick up cheaper tickets close to the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jne___ Posted May 26, 2019 Report Share Posted May 26, 2019 Was at the strokes last night and sound really wasn’t great. Such a shame as last year I really was taken a back by how good it was, especially as it takes up a relatively short area of the park. Sadly I’d guess the sound issues are likely to do with the residents. I’m local myself and the event committee get a lot of complaints about sound, and if you go on one of the local FB pages “Victoria park friends” it’s still much the same, with most just wanting it shut down altogether just to be able to use all the park. It’s a real shame because it’s already put a lot of money back into the park. It also seems to be the case that they have major trouble guaging the volumes - apparently just over the a12 in Hackney wick it registers as louder than in the actual event.

Andy0808 v5 Posted May 26, 2019 Report Share Posted May 26, 2019 The Strokes set list from last night is class. I really do hope we get them in the full lineup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mufcok Posted May 26, 2019 Report Share Posted May 26, 2019 Sound was the worst I've ever experienced yesterday at an outdoor gig. 8 years waiting for the chance to watch The Strokes again and I literally couldn't hear it. Gutting, I'll never go back there again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily, someone split the price of our spares with us, so we all paid £30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fionajm777 Posted May 27, 2019 Report Share Posted May 27, 2019 Was at Christine and the Queens APE last night and it was dire compared to her tour - nothing to do with her of course. Sound was terrible, crowd was completely disinterested and it has the atmosphere of a cricket match. I think you could tell a lot of people had got free tickets and didn’t have clue who she was. Shame. Still can’t wait to see her at Glasto though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still really enjoyed it though, she was incredible. All Points East are really not coming out of all this well though, are they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely not, hammered on social media and in quite a few newspapers. Asking people to e-mail in off the back of The Strokes and they'll respond this week. Not anticipating a refund but we'll see. Still feel so short changed and gutted, tempted to one of the European festivals they're doing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
priest17 Posted May 27, 2019 Report Share Posted May 27, 2019 Surprised by all the APE hate, thought it was miles better planned than Queens at Finsbury. Sound was decent if you were near a speaker. Barely queued for a beer or piss. Got in and out with ease. Great line up. No issues on this guys part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no interest in seeing them but can hopefully catch Dizzee, Vaccines, Jade Bird and Sam Fender before dashing off to watch the CL Final. Literally doing this as well. Know anywhere close that'll be showing it? Saw the Royal Inn on the Park but guessing it'll be rammed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually thought it was pretty organised and well set up. But i paid £70 to see a band I really love, not to have a piss in a clean portaloo. Im sue I would feel different if I had got a free ticket and just went along for a casual cheap day out ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In general I agree I think the set up and facilities are great. Enjoyed two days there last year and was having a great time on Saturday until the Strokes but someone screwed up the sound so badly I couldn’t hear. We were in the same place for The Raconteurs and it sounded fine so it was clearly human error but such a shame when that is the whole reason I paid £70. I’ve also heard so many negative things about how The Stokes cant be arsed any more but they looked to be on great form we just couldn’t hear it.

Andy0808 v5 Posted May 28, 2019 Report Share Posted May 28, 2019 Tickets for all shows this weekend are currently back up on O2 priority. Obviously hoping they make their money back in beer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mynameismatt Posted May 28, 2019 Report Share Posted May 28, 2019 Asked in the other thread but I'll just swallow my pride, if you can get a Bon Iver code then I'd be very grateful (im only looking for one ticket) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rwoo Posted May 28, 2019 Report Share Posted May 28, 2019 I'm sure next year it will be down to 2 days over 2 weekends or 3 days over 1 weekend. The best options are spread out too much over 6 days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raspberry Posted May 28, 2019 Report Share Posted May 28, 2019 Have to say C&TQ killed it from where we were (side on & just past halfway up the catwalk that went from the stage into the crowd). We did have to move a couple of times to get decent spot though! Good sound & nice crowd all dancey & not chatting idiots so maybe we got lucky!

Raspberry Posted May 28, 2019 Report Share Posted May 28, 2019 Thanks all for sharing links. You legends! Gutted to miss the 02 priority offer. Again. Shift work is not conducive. Now hoping DICE competition will come through for Mumford this Sat. https://dice.fm/bundle/ape-competition It says draw takes place after 2pm this Fri 31st & winners contacted by text after 4pm so fingers crossed.
