I really wish they'd give us a week or two to replenish the wallet before putting the tickets on sale.

I've requested a code and send on some proof of attendance. When I submit the form it says it can take up to 5 working days to process. I guess there goes any chance of getting a loyalty family ticket if it's going to take that long.

i done the same , not sure what happens 2mro then when i go to buy the ticket?

im hoping maybe they get through the application today or the difference is refunded to me once application is successful

going via the installment plan its very handy

You won't get a refund if you buy it before you get your loyalty code.

Anyone see Real Estate? Bad clashes for them and hoping they'll play Ireland again soon?

Seathrun66

And how good were Kiasmos? The Vicar Street tickets are very tempting.

Only God knows - Young Fathers
Just by Bicep for the moment I was in,
The Queen is Dead by These Charmless Men 
Fangclub , Best Fake Friend

On loyalty codes I submitted 3 pictures from 3 years that I looked mouldy drunk in all :D Great times...

Last year they had a few weeks of selling early bird tickets, but they did sell out of the early bird allocation, as a friend left it late and went to buy some close to the end date in October, and they had none left.

I would say the combination of funds shortage and everyone not getting code immediately will ensure that the loyalty tickets don't all go immediately.

MadYaker

If you're looking for the early bird discount you really need to hassle them for the code. Last year the allocation of early bird loyalty tickets sold out while some people were still waiting on codes, email them and if you don't get a reply call them.

Bazzo

Never got the ticketmaster e-mail either even though I made sure to have all that ****e turned on after last year... I'm at work so can't go pricking around looking for photos right now either, can I not just give them my ticketmaster account details in the e-mail?? Would I better off just ringing them tomorrow morning?

MJohnston

Yes, anyone who didn't get their loyalty code that should have, you'd be much better off calling TM than waiting for the email code. I don't know the phone number to use, however.

I was the same last year and made sure i turned on all their marketing hype spam options this year. I was just about to look up the phone number and then searched my gmail account .. aha, there it was.

BUT it was not in my INBOX, it was in "Promotions" .

That might help some people.

Jaysus, I'd sure hope the people saying they didn't get it are checking all of their email subfolders, I didn't even post to mention this because I thought it would be too obvious!

Bazzo

Nah, I figured it would be in promotions so it was the first place I looked but it's not there unfortunately.

Just received my discount code by email, good timing for tomorrow

Feets

Pinkmoon camping sent email to say its split in two. More luxurry accomodation moved to boutique camping...so the podpads will be the most luxurious in the pink moon campsite. They are wendyhouse size. Throws a spanner in the works...

Think that's Podpads that sent that, not Pink Moon as i got it too. Podpads will still have most of their camping options in Pink Moon, but the more luxurious/expensive ones will be in the boutique camping area.

I filled out the EP form yesterday evening so took less than a day to come through, I only needed to provide one prove of attendance because I have attended 2 or less Electric Picnics.

u r right it was podpads. I liked the pinkmoon site...close to drop off point but ill be moving sites next year me thinks....

andreac

I prefer Pink Moon too. The facilities are much better afaik than the Boutique, but maybe that will change with Podpads there now.

A friend of mine has an Ulster Bank account and gets 25% off all Ticketmaster purchases, probably something similar.

U first account. Gives a few advantages of having one. Best off the lot is the 25% cash back on tickets for gigs. Works in conjunction with ticketbastard.
You have to pay 10 Euro a month to have one. Standard bank charge I would think at this stage. But if your a gig goer you could save a fortune with it.

My boyfriend has this too. I tried to sign up too a little while ago but it seems the conditions have changed and it's now €50 a month fees! Raging

And so the end of the week is nigh! TBTF! This time last week was having a few bevs. in Stradbally..! Regardless of all the moans it's still the best weekend of the year and I say that after 10 years! It has changed for sure but so have I..! I'm not as fabulous as I was 10 yrs ago but I'm fabulous in a different way 😉.. tickets will still sell before line up is announced and the boards again next year will be bombarded with - "line-up is ****e, I'm selling my ticket" posts and the same questions will be asked time & time again about "best campsite" "best route to car parks" "best shoes" "best way to smuggle beer" & "best weather app" & "best man pablo" for his app 😉

And finally where is Radiohead?! 😱

It's been a joy again this year but I have one request to Festival Republic - clean up your act! Get rid of the ****ty commercial stages that destroy the real artists and force picnickers to be clean! #leavenotrace - make a statement, make EP even better! ❤️

So am I correct in saying that the consensus is that if you're staying in any of the boutique camping or campervan areas you can just walk in freely with your cans? What's the cheapest of the boutique options then? Given the amount spent by myself and herself, as well as 2 other couples at the weekend it sounds like a good investment to have a beer bank nearby! Is there a loyalty option for these areas or is it fixed price also?! Thanks!

No, that's really only true of the Pink Moon area.
