sally cinnamon89 · 23-03-2017 09:56AM

I just got one there,keep trying folks

UsedToWait · 23-03-2017 09:56AM

Please, nobody panic and buy off sh1tewave, or anywhere else at inflated prices.

You will get tickets if you're patient, at face value...

everlast75 · 23-03-2017 09:57AM

Any else bricking it - waiting for the announcement? Seriously! Stomach is all over the place and I've no idea why! I will have a fantastic time no matter who is playing... I guess its like Christmas in the morning waiting to see what presents you got

SteelyDanJalapeno · 23-03-2017 10:01AM

Just curious as to why people here paid 250 euro for tickets to this before the lineup was announced?

Because I've been to about 8 of them now, and no matter who are playing, you will find a new band, or an act, or a comedian or something that will entertain you while there with all your mates. Simple really

Tago Mago · 23-03-2017 10:03AM

Got there just now after an hour filling in damn security checks & refreshing. Had to go full price n'all which wasn't my intention but **** it own fault for letting it slide at earlier intervals. Roll on the announcement.

roll · 23-03-2017 10:03AM

coz its a greatweekend no matter what the line up!

heebusjeebus · 23-03-2017 10:04AM

It's an annual pilgrimage at this stage. I wouldn't miss it for the world as it is such a magical weekend regardless of the line-up, will always find a few acts you will stumble upon who blow you away.

Mike Guide 69 · 23-03-2017 10:05AM

Forgot that the tickets went on sale, folks were looking for 2 Sunday tickets, ah sure theres always afew more released along the way, dont worry folks, keep trying over the next few weeks and months, more tickets are eventually released...

Suppose there's people that will go anyway regardless of line up. People that will sell on their ticket if they don't like the line up. And touts. Does seem a bit mad though. Not sure why they couldn't just announce the line up earlier or wait til later to sell tickets when line up was out. Suppose the uncertainty was there way of creating more demand.

23-03-2017 10:07AM

I'm probably gullible, but that earlier (fake or not) line-up poster looked to have a very realistic set of acts. I'd be happy with Father John Misty, Tribe Called Quest, Phoenix, Chaka Khan & a few other goodies. If wrong then please let the true line-up be as good.

I've been going to festivals for nearly 20 years and the line ups are always a secondary concern. I love music festivals and having a good time with my mates. Money well spent irrespective of the line up.

Just look at Glastonbury. It's sold out each year before a single act is announced. EP isn't exactly Glasto but it's the closest thing we have in Ireland right now.

€250 is an absolute steal for 3 days at a festival. Radiohead cost me nearly €100!

Gal44 · 23-03-2017 10:13AM

Got tickets there!

SteelyDanJalapeno · 23-03-2017 10:23AM

Interesting replies!

It's a pity you couldn't restrain yourselves a little, you've enabled to organizers to not have to add any acts to sell remaining tickets down the line.

Enjoy!

Korvanica · 23-03-2017 10:23AM

If you have not getten any tickets, keep trying, apparently there's tickets left.

Strange that all the main news sites have said EP is completely sold out.

I think the festival would still need to deliver a decent lineup/experience or future demand will go down

All the acts for EP have already been booked months ago. The organisers over the past couple of years haven't struggled to sell tickets down the line.

EP themselves haven't come out and said it yet though. Main news sites probably think "Oh it's not available, nobody is gonna give up a ticket" and mark it sold out. I managed to get two at 9 and then another two a few minutes ago for friends who couldn't. So it's down to people not buying their tickets on time and then them getting re-released.

grudgehugger · 23-03-2017 10:31AM

Update to my main hopes for later:
A Tribe Called Quest
The XX
PJ Harvey
Hessle Audio (long shot?)
Danny Brown
Gorillaz
Run The Jewels
Mogwai

5 of these would be a major success

D.Q · 23-03-2017 10:31AM

Stone Roses pls

Or maybe we've given the organisers enough cash to book bigger acts.

I always do enjoy it, finding the lesser known acts that blow you away are most of my best memories from EP, and seeing Hozier in a tent with a couple of hundred people will not be forgotten.

MaroonAndGreen · 23-03-2017 10:32AM

I think many people will tell you EP is not about the acts, it's the atmosphere and the people. I bought my ticket early because I'll go regardless of the line-up.
