Just checking, did you use the form linked earlier?

I did initially, but I think this email would have arrived anyway.

When I used the link I just got a generic response, but the email I received next seems to me as if it is going to be sent to everyone that has booked tickets electronically previously.

I used the form, got my three festival discount. DELIGHTED!!! Now if they just announce Aphex Twin, I'll be smiling til september.

Some weird things falling off lorries in murky Dublin tonight. Things marked "Top Secret - #ElectricPicnicLineup", for instance

How long do these codes last for?

They're still embarrassingly going with the calling it the 10th Anniversary on the Ticketmaster page... wow.

pfft, people usually change more than a bit in appearance between the Friday and Monday of any given year.

I frightened myself when I looked in the mirror after Orbital last year. You could have taken my pic, put it into black and white, and used it as an appeal for St. Vincent de Paul!

My student ID picture is from the Monday morning after Electric Picnic, I look like a zombie, and they use the same pic each year for the four years of my course

Yeaaa, got my x3 year loyalty mail!!

It said I can get x2 tickets, even though Ticketmaster said one per person/household/credit card on twitter

Ha ha , that lineup posted is so fake. It would cost €150 each to get Bowie alone, surprised whoever did it didnt put Daft Punk on it for the craic.

This on the Saturday night. Really hope he is playing.

Pet Shop Boys 2007 were brilliant, unexpectedly so! Touring with a new album this summer, would love to see them there.

Think someone's been busy on paint shop, it would be nice though!
All the talk on this forum has been MBV, Bjork & Arctic Monkeys,is Bowie completely out of the question?

He hasn't toured in years after having a heart attack on stage. If he comes back at all it will be for a couple of massive one last shows which will have massive massive international interest.

Agreed, they were big time at one point & gradually lost it!, when they played the picnic07 it was like they were back they gave it absolutely everything would love to see them again.

Me and him indoors each got our discount emails so we can sort out a couple of mate's too. Rolling the dice for Portishead followed by Massive Attack for the Saturday night. Come on the Bristol Collective, Momma needs an epic night out

i was talking about the fact that journalists now have the real lineup, not the fake poster in the comments below.

Might spend the money I'll save on a tangerine fields tent, might come in handy.

daenerysstormborn3

Yay, Festihut are taking bookings now!

grudgehugger

Got my code sent straight to me and apparently good for two tickets - great offer.

I smell a relatively poor line-up coming but hopefully enough stuff on there to make for a fab weekend nonetheless.

Perhaps this year I finally will spend less time racing from stage to stage and more time hanging out at Body and Soul or Mindfield....

ghostdancer, still think Belle & Sebastian are likely?

Aside from that, a few decent electronic acts (aphex twin or daft punk in my dreams), MBV and some real surprise like Dirty Projectors (still dreaming...)

Bought my 2008 ticket in Top Twenty Naas 31 March 2008 and my bank statement says just that - 242.25 was the total. But no mention of Electric Picnic. Wonder will that be any good?

Think I paid cash for 2006 and 2007 tickets.

Have that recycleable plastic glass. What year was that?

well they weren't definite a few months ago, so it could have gone either way since then really....
i'd be more confident of David Byrne & St. Vincent and Warpaint being there from those that I heard tbh.

Me too! Absolute state...

That fake lineup has my expectations set far too high now... QOTSA would be a godsend but not exactly the most EP friendly band in the world..
