Someone said before that Boards of Canada haven't toured since 2001 so I would be utterly shocked (and delighted) if they were added.

I think the last gig they played was at ATP in 2001 and they only played about 10 gigs before that, would be a great selling point though.

Crosses would be good.

Got a reply from festival republic about the loyalty code, had sent three photos to them, one was a wristband from 2010, another was a program from 2012 and a hoodie from 2013, got an e-mail back saying they needed photos of me from the picnic as well. These codes aren't as easy to get as they were last year!!

Email ticketmaster instead. I got one by sending on a picture of an arm (not mine) with three wristbands on it. Couldn't be arsed looking for wristbands

When they first announced the loyalty tickets last year I think they had fairly specific requirements, one being "a photo of you at the festival" TM likely overwhelmed and basically gave everyone that enquired a code. It's a bit pointless having a scheme thats so labour intensive and so easy to cheat!

Any idea how many loyalty tickets there was last year, surely no's are capped?

Surely you could just use a picture of any random person at the Picnic and claim it's you? Sure how would they know any different?

Got hold of a few things from previous picnics a mate had and sent off the pick-think they just sent back a generic code that can be used by anyone-looks very generic anyway

Has anyone stayed in pink moon camping? If so, is it much quieter than the main campsites?

So essentially, problems getting codes with the FR email but Ticketmaster are handing them out no problem??

Anyone got the ticketmaster email address to send to?

Just go to their FAQ and put in something that it won't find (blahblahblah for example), and a "contact us" form will pop up.

Can you attach pictures to that though? Or just send the request with no evidence? Sorry, I'm easily confused.

Yeah you can attach pics. I e-mailed them Friday and they haven't gotten back to me though so I dunno they might be copping on.

Ya I also tried that 3 wristbands pic and no luck. Don't really mind since I'm thinking of doing the Tour De Picnic. I'll probably opt for the run since that's more my thing. Anyone here do it or have any tips from their experience?

jays' some amount of knicker twisting in here over other peoples musical tastes, couldnt really give a ****e what other people want to see, there'll be plenty for everyone to have a great weekend

There's a fair whack of noise from the event site depending on the time of night but very little noise from the other residents, the tents are evenly laid out in proper rows with spacing between them so probably much quieter than the other tented areas.

The other camps looked like down town Mogadishu compared to the order of the pink moon site.

Was gonna post a link to the ticketmaster site but I'm getting a malware pop up from there at the moment.

I just did as the others said and went to contact us, put blahblah blah in the ask a question.
Up pops the form with a place at the bottom to attach pics.

I had e-mailed ticketmaster as well, but got no reply, anyway got the code sent to me after sending them the drunken photos of myself, kinda cheated too as two photos were from the same year but if you can mess with the system a bit why not try?!

Also while I'm at it, would love to see Black Keys added to the lineup, but not sure if they will be in Europe around that time. I think they would be a band that pretty much everyone would like. Failing that would love to see Seasick Steve or Hot Chip added, would just be like 2010 again!

Ticketmaster didnt reply to me, it was a guy from festival republic. E-mailed them last Wednesday when the line up came out so it took like 5 days to reply.

Mince Pie

Jaysus, everyone seems to be getting different results. Will just wait and see then.
They must be reading this thread.

Rfrip

Just discovered flume.......love him/them!
This is why no one should make any ever make any rash decisions on the line up before you tubing the ****e out of it:)

I emailed them once, heard nothing, emailed them again and presto. Just keep annoying them. All I did was printscreen my ticket master order history and lineup program from 2011.

I don't get it, why do some of you not just go to the nearest ticketmaster outlet and buy the loyalty ticket there, you won't get any of this email nonsense if you just buy it from a human being.

cos I can't afford to pay the ticket in full and wanted to go installments. :cool:

I'm really looking forward to this Portishead gig, just listening to Dummy at the moment, why is there such a gap with their touring history and Ireland, 1997 was the last time they played here. What was the craic there with the Irish promoters, you would've thought they would have played something like Feile or Witnness festival, seventeen years is a long time so looking forward to seeing them.
