All Points East Festival 2022

[jannybruck]

They would never change the day of it because of licensing issues anyway, but when the strike was announced I wouldn't be surprised if there were some serious discussions about pulling the day altogether. It's going to have a huge impact on the amount of people taking a punt on tickets in the week/s leading up (which counts for a lot at city day fests like this), when ticketholders arrive and leave the site, bar staff and tech people getting on site, the amount people drink, etc etc.

I don't think they will pull it, but the day is certainly going to take a real battering because of the strike on top of the fact it hasn't been a strong seller anyway.

Almost certainly freebies for that day then I reckon.

Just out of interest, how do you know it hasn't been a strong seller?

Generally a good rule of thumb to spot days that need a boost (this goes for any festival in London, really) is the amount they're pushing it with adverts on the tube and online.

Field Day, for instance, I've barely seen any ads for so I wouldn't be surprised if that one's doing the best, and has had no additions as far as I can recall. Whereas the others have had some serious real estate over the past couple of months and have had some stuff tacked on to try and tempt people to buy.

Thanks, good to know. Keen for the nick cave day but holding out for some better deals on tix. Although if my fomo gets too much I'll just pull the trigger

"Final tickets" for the Nick Cave day.

I'm guessing that will be the only one selling out.

Well Cave has been one of the few artists to ever sell out a day at APE and I reckon he’s the biggest name on this year’s lineup…

for Tame Impala, Tier 4 gone? only Tier 5 tickets left? £74 now for GA, not £68.

To be fair I do advertising and I say “final tickets” when we’re running down the clock, not related to actual ticket sales.

It said this last week when I tried to buy, but I ended up clicking pay in instalments and then paid in full for £68.

So it's a week since the Tinder lady said "the team will be confirming which option this is for you next week". Hmmm. 

[Riggins]

Also just won, interesting people still don't know which they've got. I only really want to go to The National day, will take anything as a freebie really but hopefully we get to pick.

Spoke too soon! They've just emailed asking me which date I'd like (two choices in case the first one not possible). Hopefully I get the one I want! No idea why they had to be so secretive up til now...

Dunno if it's still open but you had to follow Tinder and reply to the tweet tagging in your "festival buddy".

[gfa]

Won tinder. If anyone is interested in trading us disclosure/tame impala tickets for the other days (if we r able to) let me know 🙂 we need like 8 tame impala tickets - happy to trade them for higher demand days like cave

[FakeEmpire]

Just had the email.

I've already bought Nick Cave & The National tickets at full price when they went on sale (silly, I know!) so am hoping for the Disclosure day as I may as well make a weekend of it.

I think you only get like one set of tickets for one day. It was worded confusingly but they have just emailed me to ask me which day I want.

have just replied to the tweet in hope of winning, seems a fair few people are!

I got the DM this morning but still no mail... Will wait and see what happens. I expect it was a lengthy process for everyone?

[LazyDavid]

I just tried the Tinder comp too on Twitter, fingers crossed here

Took a day or 2 to receive the email after the DM and then another 3-4 days to ask which day I wanted.

It took a few hours for me to get the email through. Then I had to fill in a form. Then they said they'd email a week later, which they've just done today. They asked me which day I want and I told them so I'm going to Nick Cave for free! Woo.
