jparx Posted February 23, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2022 Hard “no” for me on Flo subbing. Personally, yeah what a show that would be before Kendrick, but as a fan it’s a backward step for her. I’d hate to see her slide down the pecking order like that. This new single hopefully does big things, followed by the record, and she headlines alongside Taylor and Monkeys next year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt42 Posted February 23, 2022 Report Share Posted February 23, 2022 I can’t see it either just that her announcement feels weirdly timed. Wireless, Latitude and Glastonbury are all strangely announcing very close to each other this year. Could suggest there’s a bit of sharing going on?

Suprefan Posted February 23, 2022 Report Share Posted February 23, 2022 (edited) Zero reason to not have a poster with the balance window. If it was previously stated that there was not going to be a resale ( last year ) due to next to almost no ticket returns, how is there expected to be a resale this year if you dont let people decide based off a poster? Everyone will most likely keep their tickets and then you have a useless resale on your hands again. Or will people not pay their balance because they didnt get the poster and think its too much of a gamble to keep their ticket? ( which is sort of foolish ) The only legit reasons I see of anyone having to return their deposit will be the small percentage of people who have real life stuff thats gonna happen around it like a wedding or a pregnancy.

the wonderwhy Posted February 23, 2022 Report Share Posted February 23, 2022 Yeah I'd imagine the vast majority of people will be giving up their ticket due to circumstance. Probably got very little to do with the poster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtomsForPizza Posted February 23, 2022 Report Share Posted February 23, 2022 This is of course anecdotal and not necessarily representative of anything wider but in our group of 10 with ticket deposits it looks only 4 max will be going Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would they have jacked in their 2020 festival if it went ahead and Swift wasn't headlining? Can't wrap my head round that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One reason would be that the lineup simply isn't ready. The balance window has been brought forward to take advantage of tax breaks on tickets that expire 1st April, not related to bookings. It could well be that they won't be able to bring enough of their planning forward to release a comprehensive lineup on 28feb/1st March, which is about 2 weeks earlier than the last few festivals.

AlexOvd Posted February 23, 2022 Report Share Posted February 23, 2022 It will be a bigger amount of tickets available in the resale than usual (life changes a lot in couple of years), but I also think that the demand will be very high. We are talking that some people may be 3 years in a row without Glasto if they don't take tickets this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shivroy Posted February 23, 2022 Report Share Posted February 23, 2022 (1) Florence definitely isn't subbing, she's headliner sized (look at all of the other big festivals she's headlining this summer, and summer 2018/2019/2016/2015) (2) they haven't been announced for latitude, some people just think they look 'likely'. i personally don't think she's headlining latitude but i guess we'll find out thursday (3) can definitely see florence headlining in 2023, perhaps as a final show of this era?

Gnomicide Posted February 23, 2022 Report Share Posted February 23, 2022 Also potentially an extra 7k tickets up for grabs on top of any returns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theyve had 2 years now instead of 9 months. All theyve had to fight over is agents trying to get a better stage slot cause their artist got a few extra million streams. You can avoid some fuss by making the poster alphabetical again so nobody can say a damn thing about it. If they really didnt wanna be put under the gun then dont announce the balance window for the dates they gave. If they made it later and put the poster out before that time you just made people happy instead of frustrated. There isnt gonna be some 11th hour headliner pull out like Coachella, cause it seems they might have their backup ready to go from the look of it.

People who didn't get tickets for 2020 will feel like they have been "locked out" for 3 years. Of course everyone has, but the desire there will be enormous (especially given how desperate for fun everyone is). We're also going to have two years worth of people who would have done it as a rite of passage in the mix. For these reasons I think that 23 could also be carnage on the ticket front.

I dunno, having an old fart and two people no one has ever heard of headlining in 2022 could really hurt the demand. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
