    Increasing capacity and yet less tickets for loyal customers, or so it would appear:mad::mad:

    They cynic in you is wrong. Last year there were roughly 10k Loyalty tickets. Id imagine its the same this year.

    The cynical part of me can't help but think that some saw the demand for tickets in the run up to the weekend and the price they were fetching, and factored that into their rush to buy...

    It was a piss take near the end, worst I heard was 900 for a weekend ticket, know a few paid around the 500 mark.
    Met a poor chap that bought a 3yr old wristband for €150 off a gougher and another gril who bought one with no clasp on it, was easy pickings for scumbags.

    yes, because reynolds is doing ATN out of the goodness of his heart.

    Based on the EP Loyalty codes /Ticketmaster clusterf**k this year, I'd say its the lesser of two evils.

    Not sure. I know a lot of people who got tickets today (more than in the past 2/3 years) and almost everybody here seems to have got them quicker than usual.

    Well if EP says its sold out....there's always ATN. Who knows...the greed that has become apparent in the EP machine might actually help ATN to sell out this year. Here's hoping :-)

    Greed? at least EP kept the same prices for next year, unlike ATN which bumped theirs up 20%....

    Yea but EP are upping their numbers it was on the radio this morning, they don't know how many more they can fit yet. There's a tipping point when it turns into Oxygen. That's where ATN has an advantage, haven't been to ATN but I have it in my head it's like the old picnic back in the naughtys.

    Mad that they sold out the earlybird/loyalty allocation already. Just booked a 2 man pink moon tent for €240 also as they went back on sale.

    So are the next batch of tickets going to be full price of €250? If so the €90 saving softens the blow of pink moon a little bit. The boom is back!

    They announced 2,500 extra and alongside that are increasing the size of the site.

    so? one has kept prices the same, the other hasn't....

    EP are apparently upping capacity by 2500, so 5%.
    ATN are upping theirs 5000, so 33% (and increasing prices).

    and yeah, ATN is similar to EP back in the day, as is Body&Soul, which ATN/POD/Reynolds have ripped-off in almost every single way.

    Yeah, I wouldn't be getting too misty-eyed about Alltogethernow just yet. It was a great weekend but they've upped capacity, upped prices and effectively offered no loyalty bonus (early access to Tier 1 priced tickets). There's nobody in this for the love of it.

    Just been on EP 2019 Banter Page on Facebook (don't judge) and the amount of people saying their local ticketmaster was taking names and numbers to ring people back about tickets, and not selling actual tickets is scary...
    Loads saying too that they bought the wrong tickets so anyone looking for campervan or family pass should have a snoop on there.
    General consensus is that the loyalty code distribution was an out and out disaster.

    Ticketmaster, fair play, have just got back to me with this....
    PLEASE NOTE: THE EARLY BIRD & LOYALTY DISCOUNT ALLOCATIONS ARE SOLD OUT.

    Loyalty codes were issued on 6-Sept-2018

    Please note that tickets are subject to availability. The loyalty scheme (and use of discount codes) will end at Midnight Sunday, 30th September, or in the event of a sell-out of the allocation, whichever comes first.

    A discount code or request for a discount code does not guarantee a ticket purchase and tickets are sold on a first come first serve basis.

    What if i didn't receive a code? Or received the wrong code?

    In order to receive a code you must be signed up to receive the newsletter: Email updates such as presales, offers and news
    Further to this you must be signed up for each year attended, the sign up is not historic. The loyalty code is a marketing email and can only be sent to those signed up.

    We are unable to assist further as the allocation is sold out.


    Fan Support

    I don't feel supported.

    Yeah I think they release more in October, and then again in March. Steep enough at €250 a pop for 3 day weekend camping.

    No code and looks like loyalty is gone. What a farce. I’m so annoyed because the word loyalty is clearly a joke.... I’ll send in a very angry email to everyone whose email address I can find but I feel like saying F it and not going. I’ve applied for Glastonbury and might hit a couple of smaller festivals instead. I love EP but man am I angry

    Do ticketmaster actually give one shite about loyalty?! I emailed and sent a message through their website looking for the correct loyalty code and have had no response but according to this thread, the early birds are sold out anyway.
    They're such hungry bastards.

    Pretty much exactly this. Didn't get any code, bought regular earlybirds because it was that or end up with nothing. I called their rep a ****weazel in a twitter PM so that feels a bit better.
