i'd quite like to go to this
but things like - it's quite a trek away, i have no where to stay and all of last years horror stories are putting me off
last year
we got tickets to an afterparty which was difficult to find (it was a secret location after all) but it was fun once we got there! by that time of year its not so bad walking back to the train station at 4.30 am and waiting a couple of hours for the first train :)
nice convenient locations there then
I think it is
One north, one south, one east. And there's no such thing as West London. NO SUCH THING.
but for anyone outside london
well over £30. greeat.
Or for those in london
who booked them already.
Hey! thanks ticket companies for being greedy cunts!
ticketweb 31 quid w/all fees.
I agree that fees are oftentimes needlessly extortionate, but when the event in case is so cheap anyway i don't mind.
^exactly
chill out.
meanwhile, i'll take the short walk to rough trade east..
(pm me if you want me to pick you up a ticket, i'm gonna do it at some point soon)
classic
information comes out telling people they can get tickets without the evil evil booking fee, but people just complain about something anyway.
THE INTERNETS: NEVER HAPPY
true dat
Unless you live/work near one of those outlets, surely it costs more to get there and is more inconvenient?
I remember having to traipse all the way to places like Brixton Academy when i was a nipper only to be told there were no tickets left, buy which point i'd forked out on travel and a Wendy's hamburger.
The problem with booking fees is not that they are high but they are published and this irks us. But surely every industry has it's version of the "booking fee" ?
"A pint of guinness please mate"
"No problem Sir, that costs us 14p but we'll have to charge you £2.75 for it"
"Oh fuck that, I'm off to Dublin where I can it get at face value from the brewery"
"Oh"
I know it's asource of constant wonder to
some on DiS, but there are around 63 million people on this crowded little island of ours, of whom approximately 55 million do not live in London!
i've heard
there are some people who live outside London too.
My mum said she saw it one of them on the telly once
the event is held in london
so the tickets are sold in london. just like how there are truck tickets on sale at various outlets in oxford. CRAZY, RIGHT?
Oxford ?
What's that and why do people buy tickets to go on trucks there ?
If it's all the same to you, I think i'll stay in London ;-)
Right, because there's absolutely no way people would travel
into the nation's capital for an event like that, hey?
Truck is sold as a local community event, that's how it started, more widespread appeal came later as the word spread, but at it's core it is still an Oxfordshire institution with a very Oxford heavy line-up.
Field Day isn't Hackney Village Fete, or perhaps you know otherwise?
Guess how many rocks of crack are in the jar, win a victoria sponge, that kind of thing.........
