I posted earlier that I got another ticket today in the post.

I got an text and email then from ticket master saying to use the new ticket. The first one is voided.

I paid in instalments if that makes any difference.

Would it make more sense that it's batch of tickets that they've messed up and voided rather than random tickets?

PabloAndRoy · 27-08-2018 12:23PM

There is no doubt that people will show up with voided tickets. Possibly hundreds!

I’ve just spotted that The Minutes are clashing with King Krule on Saturday night.

Well boll!x to that!!

Stillill42 · 27-08-2018 12:31PM

Cue chaos at entry points Friday. Good stuff.

BaZmO* · 27-08-2018 12:31PM

People were asking about a festival trolley earlier. I think the one in Halfords is sold out, but there's a decent one available in The Range.

Most of the headliners don't have much longer to be fair. NERD and the bed wetters only on for an hour (though obviously the bed wetters have about 4 songs, so fair enough there). Massive Attack only 75 minutes. Fairly ridiculous that the combined headline slots on Saturday are two hours 15.

FR could thus have booked less acts with longer sets. Seems to give a lie to the absolute profiteering accusations. Personally I’d prefer more acts & shorter sets. Anyone really good I’ll check out at their standalone gigs later.

Early Friday is looking very good, albeit clash-heavy - Roadhouse Doors, Murder Capital, Harvest & Ash. Kendrick to finish, other decent stuff to be announced tomorrow & that’s a very good start indeed to my Picnic.

Eod100 · 27-08-2018 12:46PM

Can't seem to see stage times confirmed on their site. Are the ones going around official?

Who thought putting Prodigy on on the Sunday was a good call!? Sure everyone will be dead, not to mention a lot of people will have physically left..

They’ll rouse the suffering masses. As Duran did last year. A big noisy ending to EP suits me.

Worrying, as I bought two pairs from different (very genuine) people. Might just get on to them and see..

Something funny I've noticed, been scrabbling around toutless/adverts and the like for face value tickets (1 of 2 sorted, woo) and a new trend seems to be new users screaming that they'll 'pay with cash'

So you've got a few offers and then a rake of 'WILLING TO TRAVEL AND PAY WITH CASH' 'WILL PAY FOR TICKETS WITH CASH' etc etc.

Am I getting old and are youngsters just not used to parting with large sums of physical currency? If you're buying a ticket off someone on adverts/toutless/donedeal I'm not sure what alternative you're expecting to use, most people don't bother with PayPal if they're selling in person.

They are trying to appeal to us old folks who remember not just physical currency, but also the punt. Some of us might even remember old pound shillings and pence!

Massive attack on the Sunday and Prodigy at 1am on the Saturday would have been class! Obviously Prodigy either have somewhere better to be or due to back problems they can't do two gigs in a row and are playing Friday in the UK.

Same situation here. Getting in touch with my seller, although he recently emailed me on the pink moon email sent last week so i'd imagine he would be in touch if he got sent more tickets ...

Easy Rod · 27-08-2018 12:54PM

Has anyone seen anything about an off-license this year? I've a bad back so trying to minimise what I have to carry down there. I'm well aware it's very very pricey.

Yeah, mine just got back to say she'd heard nothing but would keep an eye out, not worried on that side of things. More concerned about where I'm getting a second one now. Twitter and donedeal already picking up in terms of new listings

there's a gin bar in Trailer Park anyway, think there might actually be two there.

No, just two pairs of general camping! Think I'll get on to them to be on the safe side.

Ethereal Cereal · 27-08-2018 01:07PM

Garbage at 4.30 on the main stage Saturday is a bit of a blow.

They would be a big enough name like, why not get them to headline the electric arena one of the nights, or play later on the main stage.

Also agree with comment above RE Prodigy/Massive Attack Sat/Sun.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

gauralordon · 27-08-2018 01:12PM

Left it to the last minute as usual to try get a camping chair...
Has anyone been out and about and seen any in South / West Dublin, Clondalkin, Tallaght, or City Centre?

billybonkers · 27-08-2018 01:13PM

I saw someone posted small folding trolleys a while ago but cant find the post.

Anywhere I could get one this week?

Halfords tallaght have stock anyway, €7 available for click and collect

Otherwise Argos or the camping stores on Mary Street.

Ethereal Cereal · 27-08-2018 01:16PM

to add to list above, has anyone bought a flag for your tent to find it at night. Any suggestions?

ring the nearest halfords, if they don't have one in that location then they can check stock for other places.
