Oh yeah, this is a really good spot. They've always used "sold out" in the past. Edited June 11, 2020 by jannybruck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see the capacity being reduced next year (which I'm sure wouldn't be their choice). It would at least explain the 'no longer available' rather than a defintive 'sold out'. Yes. Not convinced any capacity reduction would work in practice though, as the cost of booking those bands and other suppliers would guarantee a financial loss for them if they have to reduce capacity. For mass events to take place next year, it feels binary. Vaccine or cancellation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Float Posted June 11, 2020 Report Share Posted June 11, 2020 The did use the term ‘sold out’ in the follow up comments on the Facebook post. Would be shocked if a batch doesn’t become available in August. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jannybruck Posted June 11, 2020 Report Share Posted June 11, 2020 Limiting the number of tickets available now and making it look sold out also encourages anyone dithering about getting a refund to just hold on to their ticket. It's smart marketing I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montag Posted June 11, 2020 Report Share Posted June 11, 2020 One thing I found a bit weird was the pricing of the tickets. They had a first release price and then they were due to go up by 30 euros today. Why would you just put a date on the price rise, rather than the number of tickets remaining? I thought that's how staged ticket releases worked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JedTheHumanoid Posted June 11, 2020 Report Share Posted June 11, 2020 keep in mind that the timeframe for asking a refund is not over yet - so they do have more tickets that will be refunded and return to the market. so the sold out now refers only to the 20-30% (or whatever that number is) that were not sold to last year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that's how staged ticket releases worked. They've always done it like this – one price for a certain time period, and then it rises. It's never been done by capacity remaining as far as I know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right historically, though for the 2020 fest that never was there was also a clause re. no. of tickets sold: Full festival tickets: 215 € - From March 6th and until 90% of the capacity of festival is reached 225 € - once 90% of the capacity of festival is reached Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polnico Posted June 11, 2020 Report Share Posted June 11, 2020 (edited) The more I am digging into this line-up, the more I get excited for this. I am used to festivals such as RW, where there are fewer stages and I guess more "big names", but the depth of Primavera is really incredible. I really hope we'll all be able to enjoy it next year.

Capacity isn't reduced next year, in fact they sold a record amount of tickets for next year. It will be the biggest edition to date.

It's smart marketing I guess. Very smart to not sell tickets anymore and piss off customers waiting to buy tickets when there is demand. When do they start to sell tickets again? When competitors are releasing their Line-Ups and a possible 2nd wave of infections is breaking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose The Strokes and both Tyler and Bad Bunny are hot shit to the younger festival market whereas the Thursday is more of an ageing indie kids wet dream.

xxialac Posted June 11, 2020 Report Share Posted June 11, 2020 'Grizzled' is a fantastic word for that day. Just to comprehensively round out the geriatricness, hope they can add Michael Stipe, who has a new song out today (co-written with and produced by Aaron Dessner) and might be up for touring by then.

Hip Priest Posted June 11, 2020 Report Share Posted June 11, 2020 I think one-day ticket are mostly aimed at locals who are into going to a festival but not three nights running and they are more likely to go Friday or Saturday than Thursday regardless of the line-up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
