    I wouldn't be surprised to see Metropolis not return but a quick Google shows the first announcement was August 23 last year.

    https://www.goldenplec.com/festivals/metropolis-2018/

    Villagers had been confirmed prior to that date (in June, I think) but Roisin Murphy, Mac de Marco, etc were announced that week.

    Like I said, I don't expect it to return but I wouldn't rule it out either - at least not for a few more days!

    POD seem to be a on dud run the last 12 months, though, don't they? Since the huge hit of ATN 2018 they had Metropolis, which didn't sell as well as they wanted, Forbidden Fruit (I seem to recall poor ish sales but is that a false recollection? Someone who was there might have a better insight) and the PR fiasco that surrounded ATN, which did sell out but certainly wasn't the hit of 2018 because of the traffic row. They could use a win!

    Nice this is hopeful.

    Maybe a Friday announcement to look forward to.

    Sorry for late reply on this - I saw someone comment that they found a rucksack with loads of girls clothes and make up in a hedge near exist. Sorry now but I can't recall if I saw it here or FB. Did you have any luck?? Awful thing to happen.

    Hi All,

    I haven't posted here before but have just been checking numerous places where people are talking about ATN and thought this might be worthwhile. As soon as I got into the camping area on Friday evening (after the 6 hour traffic and hill trek with all the stuff of course!) I lay my tent flat on the ground with my rucksack, turned around to help my friends with their tent before we made a joint attempt at mine (they were standing less than a metre from me) and when I turned back to my tent my entire rucksack with all of my clothes, shoes, makeup, mattress pump etc. was taken.

    No steward in the campsite (general this must be the place campsite) was able to tell me if/where there was a lost and found, I tried at least 10 people for this information including going back to the entrance and checking with staff there, when I finally found the Info point I was given a lollipop and told not to let it ruin the festival!! At first I thought somebody mistakenly may have taken it thinking it belonged to a person in their group but I know the same thing happened to at least 4 others from meeting people during my various trips to the very unhelpful Info point over the weekend. I have been to a number of festivals here and abroad and have never worried about items such as clothing being stolen before, I was completely shocked by this ATN and would say there definitely was some kind of element of scum present at the festival and it really did put such a dampener on the weekend for me, I was quite wary of those around after that point.

    I've since received the lost and found email for POD but not too hopeful of getting my stuff back at this point, on the off chance any of you do hear of anybody that found a lot of female clothing/rucksack please let me know!

    Thanks!

    I got that email and I wasn't there this year, only last. I'd have thought they'd have to look after people affected by this year's traffic etc a bit better than that


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,460 ✭✭✭davywalsh7


    Bit unfair also that if u go for the instalment plan you pay 220 (5x €44)

    I didnt get an email but was there this year and not the first.

    So this is the latest **** show from them.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,158 ✭✭✭reni10


    No email for me and I was there both years!

    Can you actually buy the tickets now?

    No email for me either but general presale goes live at 900 on Aug 29


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,876 ✭✭✭Alkers


    What's the difference between past purchasers and general presale?

    Given the link has no restrictions or passwords on it, nothing I guess haha

    I imagine the lower tier prices might be gone by the time 'general' starts

    Is that definitely right? Bananas if it is

    €7 fee on a regular ticket is taking the piss already


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 972 ✭✭✭phunkadelic


    Will general sale cost more than €179 do we think?
    EDIT:spotted the tiers now

    F**k this, i'm sitting this one out. Lets hear what they have to say first on the whole debacle from this year, what the capacity will be and maybe a headliner or 2.

    WTF, it was €200 last year.

    10% price increase on this year's prices :mad:

    installment plan was more expensive last year too.

    on the TM page:
    Please Note: Over 21's - ID Required. The initial deposit of €44 euro per ticket + Service Charge per ticket is payable on your credit/debit card now and this deposit is non-refundable and not transferable. You then authorise Ticketmaster to auto debit 4 (FOUR) further payments of €44 euro, which will be charged to the same credit card in or around the following dates: 25th November 2019, 27th January 2020, 24th February 2020 & 30th March 2020


    so yeah, 5 x €44 (plus the €7 initial service charge).

    total of €227.


  • Registered Users Posts: 216 ✭✭GhostMutt30


    That's a bit of a p***take. Was all set to buy the instalment plan not so sure if I'll bother now


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,351 ✭✭✭✭SteelyDanJalapeno


    Tickets purchased! Cheers! Still some great value at 180 euro, Oxegen 200+ over 12 years ago

    Anyone else having trouble with ticketmaster? Just constantly loading the ATN tickets page...

    Same issue!

    Not sure what the issue is with the installment plan being more expensive! This is how it always is not sure why ATN are being referred to as robbing bastards because of it. You get a loan you pay more back. Pay car insurance in installments you pay more?

    Yep. 4 installments is 4 x admin for the festival so more than a fair price.

    I've went the instalment route for a few other festivals before (Picnic and Primavera), always worked out the same price as buying the ticket outright

    22% dearer certainly qualifies as robbing bastard territory in my eyes


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,625 ✭✭✭wmpdd3


    It's 10% more than last year's installment plan.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,999 ✭✭✭Stillill42


    I'm going to hold my fire this year. I want to hear how they're addressing this years issues before I fork out again. If that means I miss out, I can live with that.

    Instalment option for electric picnic isn’t €41 more. Same with other festivals across Europe, instalment option is usually in and around the same price

    The vat increase on concert tickets accounts for half of that.

    I’d say the €12 difference between a tier 4 ticket vs overall cost of installment plan ticket is the fee that Ticketmaster charge for every installment ticket as the administration fee.

    I'm signed up to everything - don't seem to have received any email. :(

    Bought a caravan ticket but have no idea whether it will be a caravan or campervan I have available to me come next August. Does anyone know whether you can bring a campervan on a caravan ticket and vice versa?

    Also, if there was ever a case for rewarding loyalty, this was the year. The tickets are up there for the world on Ticketmaster today, no concession to the poor feckers who spent the day in their cars on the Friday. I really thought they were holding off so they could make an impression with this years ticket release.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,967 ✭✭✭Synode


    Tickets bought for next year... Had a cracker of a weekend this year. Also sold my EP tickets a few weeks back - I've found a new festival home in ATN. So much nicer with the weather at night being that little bit warmer in August

    On FB:
    As the dust settles we look back on and take stock of our second chapter. Firstly, the All Together Now team would like to say we are absolutely and fully committed to making sure that the issues that arose this year’s festival are not repeated. We have taken in every comment, every email and are carefully taking stock of where we need to improve. We have met and are working closely with An Garda Siochana and our other partner agencies to ensure that the traffic experienced travelling to this year’s festival does not happen again. We aim for the highest standards and plan to deliver the best festival experience possible. We are deeply disappointed that some areas of this years All Together Now fell short of expectations, and for this, we are truly sorry.

    We have been heartened by the All Together Now community that has taken the time to share their experience with us. Although there were negatives, which we have to and will address and improve for our third edition, there were some amazing and memorable moments. You were respectful of each other, of the beautiful landscape and all our wonderful performers. You enjoyed feasts of food, bespoke cocktails, hidden stages, and hot tubs and a host of different and quirky gems. The Arcadia, Afterburner shot its flames into the night sky, whilst Tigre’s 20 foot wooden Redwood Stag installation looked on down the Road To Nowhere toward the illuminated Curraghmore House. Brunch on the Bandstand with Blindboy had you captivated on Sunday afternoon, overlooked by Tigre’s new wooden Lion. Memorable music moments from Patti Smith to The Murder Capital, The National to Loyle Carner, even the sideways rain couldn’t stop you enjoying The Wailers and Sing Along Social. Our youngest festival-goers enjoyed the dedicated kids’ space, Kids Together, where face painters and performers enthralled both parents and kids alike - the little ones even danced in the rain as George Fitzgerald took over the annual Arcadia Kids Rave.

    We now have the privilege & responsibility of getting back to work on the third edition of All Together Now, which will again take place on the Bank Holiday Weekend - July 31 - August 2nd 2020.
    Festival Capacity: We can confirm that our capacity will not increase next year, as we endeavour to improve the overall experience for our loyal audience. All Together Now will remain again Strictly Over 21s. Children between the ages of 12 and under can attend free of charge, accompanied by a parent with a family ticket.

    Can anyone remember the name of the pizza place that did the breakfast calzone in the Both Sides Now campsite?

    Cheaper prices, when a tier sells out it moves the the next one. Encourage people to purchase sooner to et a cheaper price, so they have some cash earlier on


  • Registered Users Posts: 10,673 ✭✭✭✭MJohnston


    Blahfool wrote: »

    There are a limited number of tickets in each, and when they sell out, the pricier tier starts going on sale instead.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,211 ✭✭✭✭Suckit


    Ah, F*ck it.
    I give up.

    Can't pay. Probably better off.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 541 ✭✭✭boomshakalaka


    Time for a 2020 thread?

    Edit: Sitting this one out for a while. The FB message shows a lot of acknowledgement but I will think twice about going back. If the initial line up tickles my fancy, I will be back.

    Good to see capacity isn't increased. I think the site can handle it, with tweaks to all of the things they got feedback on. Let's nail the festival at this capacity before increasing it again.

    Pricing tiers are same as this year too (apart from the instalment side of things) so I'm hopeful that our message was heard loud and clear.

    Edit 2: (And I put this in a new thread too) Tiered pricing ONLY applies to presale tickets until 8am next Thursday. After tickets go on general sale it'll be full whack of 220 euro for everyone, which is indeed higher than this years price. Probably the "incentive" for people like me who are on the fence.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,209 ✭✭✭maximoose


    So ATN replied to me on fb about the price of the instalment plan:
    we have never offered the instalment plan on early bird tickets. Instalment plan is only available on full price.

    :rolleyes:
