Madyaker Posted January 24, 2023 Report Share Posted January 24, 2023 (edited) What do people who’ve been before expect the ticket sale to be like this Friday? Will it be a Glasto style scrum or will it be more relaxed? Edited January 24, 2023 by Madyaker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenG92 Posted January 24, 2023 Report Share Posted January 24, 2023 They've played Field Day before, get them back iiiiinnnn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilduck Posted January 24, 2023 Report Share Posted January 24, 2023 They were due to play an APE day last year but had to pull out due to Stu being ill. Hopefully that means they have booked them again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtomsForPizza Posted January 24, 2023 Report Share Posted January 24, 2023 Are we expecting two more APE days to be announced (i.e. in addition to Stormzy, Strokes and Field Day)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better not to not use it than have days like the national where they are probably making a loss.

I was there and it was far from empty and there weren’t free tickets doing the rounds unlike in previous years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gfa Posted January 24, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2023 Until stormzy its only ever been field day that went up in tiers. it says tier 1 on the amex presale so yeah will be going up i guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think that we will ever get a glimpse at the economics of this festival but I suspect that a lot of it is driven by putting the right punters in front of the sponsors.

mynameismatt Posted January 25, 2023 Report Share Posted January 25, 2023 Jamie XX in 2021 was definitely tiered pricing too, not sure it was a particularly big change between prices though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be riduclous, surely the cost of infrastructure, staff etc makes that just not worth it as an investment from a financial perspective? Strokes day looks appealing but have frankly 0 interest in Stormzy and only a passing interest in 3/4 on the Field Day lineup, so might not even go this year. Shame as it has been one of my favourite festivals over the past few years with their lienups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pryce Posted January 25, 2023 Report Share Posted January 25, 2023 ah damn...i was expecting M83 to turn up here....i have no idea where they are going to play as no dates yet, unless its Glasto which would make sense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dales Posted January 25, 2023 Report Share Posted January 25, 2023 if it does turn out to be just The Strokes day bank holiday weekend then I will not feel so bad about missing out and going to Victorious. Although, that Strokes day does look damn fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
