FakeEmpire Posted August 10, 2022 Report Share Posted August 10, 2022 Yes, Japanese Breakfast definitely pulled out. Pulling out at the last minute has become their brand this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If she did it’s been deleted, can’t see anything on her Twitter feed. stage times must be due before the weekend as the festival starts next weekend so I guess we’ll see then. hoping Kraftwerk don’t get mugged off with a short set - they’re being billed as Co-headliners so should get at least 90 mins which seems to be a standard APE headline set.

I'd be surprised if they honour that but nothing ventured.... Then again the VIP is in my opinion pretty rubbish. You can't even see the stage from the VIP area.

FakeEmpire Posted August 10, 2022 Report Share Posted August 10, 2022 Does anyone have the link to the Amex offer please? I have not received an email and cannot find anything about it. I bought my tix for The National & Nick Cave using my Amex so worth seeing if they will still honour the offer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

becca_ Posted August 10, 2022 Report Share Posted August 10, 2022 This festival is becoming so funny to me, I just feel like everything is either falling apart or being given away for free. HOW will they make any money?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worth 40 quid so a pretty good deal tbf for any day likely to be full enough not to need seat fillers in the final week. Field Day for example you could wait til 2 days before to see if there are any freebies/cheapies before buying (assuming the upgrades aren't limited and sell out in the meantime). I wouldn't do it for Tame Impala as it looks almost certain there'll be some better deals. But I might get one for The National if no cheapies appear by the closing date Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOW will they make any money?? There's a ton of sponsorships from massive companies involved. Whole festival will be flooded with corporate stuff from crypto to BMW. I guess they hope to eventually make money off of ticket sales, but for now the sponsorships are propping it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al2006 Posted August 10, 2022 Report Share Posted August 10, 2022 VIP view is quite good right… does it get full though? I’m tempted to get VIP for one of the days (either nick cave or the national).. and hold out for freebies for the other Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoo Music Girl Posted August 10, 2022 Report Share Posted August 10, 2022 They'll make a ton off the bars as well I reckon. Must admit I expected to see more freebies and cheapies by now. I'm sorted but hoping more people here can get lucky too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxialac Posted August 10, 2022 Report Share Posted August 10, 2022 The freebies are usually around the week before from memory. They are coming - 100% sure of this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s nice and chilled with better loos. But you need View to get a better view! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jannybruck Posted August 10, 2022 Report Share Posted August 10, 2022 Festivals and events are generally holding their nerve this year and trying to maximise ticket sales right up to the week of the event/s, which makes total sense coming out of the pandemic. I'm not expecting any kind of deals until a few days before each event really, and I'm not expecting deals for every show either. Having done this sort of thing previously All Points East can't make a habit of this or (as we've seen from a lot of people posting in this thread) nobody's ever going to buy tickets in advance for their events in future years because they just expect cheapo links to be passed around. It devalues the brand over time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
