Last year they were laughably lenient. Someone posted a pic of a wristband on here and rakes of people sent it off and got the 3 year + discount code.

Can't find my wristband or ticket from last year and don't have any photos that I know of...also I bought the ticket off a punter so am I screwed with regards to getting the discount?

Can some help an elderly out, I'm trying to buy a ticket but on ticketmaster it's only discounted tickets and family tickets. I am neither. Where will they take my money?

Select the early bird presale. Should sort you out.

Plaid are releasing a new album next month, prolly gonna go on tour and would be class to see them at EP. Put on a deadly show at Castlepalooza whatever year that was and would help beef up the IDM part of the festival.

Cut Copy would also do nicely, as someone else mentioned.

Don't say I never gave yiz anything, filthy animals.

My mate picked up my ticket along with 3 others in ticketmaster this morning. No proof needed and all bought for 160e each.

May god bless your kind kind soul, I will see you there in August and buy you a pint!

I wonder how many times EP will receive that image as 'proof'

edit: nevermind, tried to email and their inbox is full!

Monsieur Folie

I went and found the picture from last year and used that! Got a code back a few days later

I'd say you could send them a picture of 3 Capri Suns that you brought to 3 EPs and they'd still send you on a code tbh! :P

Rough Sleeper

Do people actually think that this is an earnest move to reward loyal patrons and loyal patrons only? Ticketmaster don't give a **** once they get their booking fee, and it's just a marketing stunt on EP's side to shift a good volume of tickets early on and generate a buzz that'll ultimately sell out the festival. Send them a picture of your dick and you'll probably get a ticket for €160.

D.Q

got an email back saying it was undeliverable, their email is full....

Jaysus how many emails are they getting? Gmail has something like 15gb of space, I've about 4,000 emails and only used up 2%..

Doesn't look like they're using Google Mail Servers - hopefully it's something with a lot less capacity (also they're getting a lot of pictures...)

Very true and probably full of high quality photos that are taking up huge space, most smartphones are set like that by default, scaled down the pics I sent today so hopefully will work out. Even though I got the discount last year without even asking, weird same thing didn't happen again this time round.

TimeToShine

Mine seems to have sent grand, what e-mail address did you lads send it to?

D.Q

picnicoffer@festivalrepublic.com, what one did you send to?

Do all the rave in the woods acts get announced separately by red bull or could they be included in ep's announcements? Reason I ask is I am listening to bicep right now, bopping away and they certainly seem appropriate.

Yep! Possibly for the Little Big Tent or the Rave in the Woods, he played Life festival I think in 2012.

MyPeopleDrankTheSoup

picnicoffer bounced for me as well.

it's ridiculous they're running their system through email. should have coded a quick script where you enter your email and 3 pics. they could have hashed each image as well to make sure people weren't using same images.
