I really don’t think there’s going to be a general sale - there wasn’t one in the US, and with demand as it is and all these rules, it feels unlikely that the Midnights and Verified rounds won’t sell all the tickets.

I think the verified fan thing IS the general sale

Yeah that’s my understanding as well. There’s obviously not going to be an additional sale of tickets after the verified sale, that’s it. 

edit: unless they add a couple more dates but those will likely be taken by the waiting list.

Are any acts offering like a subscription membership service for ‘£x per year’ and that gets you some merchandise, discount from album sale etc, and then first access to any tour dates? Similar to how football clubs operate I guess.

U2 do. But it's expensive with no guarantee they'll even tour during the year.

Yeah she should just let someone else profit from her music

I agree with her that the novelty of these re-recordings has become a bit stale and it’s kind of just become an exercise in noticing the different little vocal inflections and slight lyric changes etc, but she’s given herself a death wish by just brushing past the larger reasoning of the albums being re-recorded in the first place which was obviously gonna have the Swifties coming at her in full force.

Suppose it’s easy to forget sometimes what with Taylor being a so ever-present monolith in everybody’s lives now that these re-recordings are being done for a good reason, rather than just to milk her fans dry when she’s got a gap in her schedule… even if she does seem to take great pleasure doing that on the side, too.

You know the original catalog lost a lot of its value after the first re recording came out, right. And I was commenting more that nobody is allowed to say anything against her or face the wrath of the zombie army of swifties. No artist is above objective criticism. A journalist got death threats for saying they liked Beyonce's current show more than Taylor's. Is that the point that we're at? Apparently the only criticism that can be levied is when it comes to who she decides to date. Again, is that where we are now?

You can not like the re-recording that’s fine, it’s all subjective taste. Missing the point on why Taylor is doing this is pretty disingenuous in my view. FWIW I think this a great version of the album and the vault tracks justify its release by themselves. Some people like Taylor Swift, get over it. Some don’t and that’s fine too, just don’t have a go at those who do.

Definitely correct, there are two stages of sales....

Pre-sale - for those that pre-ordered Midnights (or filled out the no purchase necessary route), you need a unique code, that is tied to your AXS or Ticketmaster account.  This happens on Mon 10th.

General - for those that are (yet to be announced) selected as Verified Fan.

 

The verified fan route reduces the opportunities for resellers (as you need a unique mobile number for it).

There are plenty of people reselling their excess codes / accounts to others who didn't get selected.

I've just got back from Nos Alive to an Email saying I will get a code before Lisbon tickets go in sale on Wednesday 

 

I'm guessing this is after the album presale? 

 

Missed alot of Info

 

Thanks

Not entirely...some London, Liverpool and Edinburgh dates on presale on Mon/Tuesday, with other London and the one Cardiff date on presale on Wednesday (all different time slots), with Dublin presale on Friday.  

Madness that they still haven't released maps and/or prices with presale starting tomorrow.  They'll have heaps of people just logging in tomorrow to try and guage these, even if they're not intending to try for Edinburgh/London...would take alot of pressure off the servers by releasing them in advance.

Ticketmaster have said they won’t be pre-releasing pricing or the map… so weird. I know Taylor wants as much ££ as possible so I can see the appeal of withholding prices and making people sort of panic buy, but her team has released a map and prices before sales in every other country

I was cynically thinking was it in the hope that people panic buy on the spot, without having much (time for) thought for price/budget, but was giving them the benefit of the doubt, perhaps naively.

That's exactly why they do it - to help shift rubbish seats.

Given they don't have that issue with T-Swizzle there isn't any point in doing it this time. But I guess old habits die hard.

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
    • Yup and they aren't cheap   Glastonbury is different though, it's a place that will pack out for rarities they don't usually see. Download strictly speaking shouldn't be the strangest place for Avril to pop up of she had been a touring artist of longer times over the years.   Avril and GC would get the same billing for me and GC are selling arenas out quicker than Avril sold Ally Pally. Bearing in mind she'd pnly done soem Brixton dates before.
    • Avril gets above GC on rarity (see Cypress Hill this year). She drew in something like 70,000 at Glastonbury, so much so that they had to close the field off. I’d wager that she would get the biggest crowd of the entire weekend if she was to play DL.
