One Big Weekend: Dundee

[RiG]

*Clicky*

Anyone get tickets for this? I tried and failed :007:

[safe_hands_mark_brown]

I tried. Post here is rubbish though, so could come anytime. Im still waiting on mail from January.

[Yngwie]

I tried cos I want to see Muse, but nothing yet.

[Caley Fish]

I tried with all my family but got sweet FA.

[safe_hands_mark_brown]

You would think those of us living in dundee would get priority, but i know of nobody who got tickets.

[RiG]

Expect a ton of tickets won by some random in England to go on eBay sometime soon :014:

[safe_hands_mark_brown]

Loads on already.

Some of the prices are scandalous.

With the event being held in Dundee, id have hoped 50% of tickets would have been desginated for its citizens. Any fellow Dundee inhabitants recieve any tickets?

I was lucky enough to get tickets for the Sunday, would have preffered Saturday. However Im not sure if I am going to go.

300,000 people applied for tickets

14,000 pairs of tickets were sent out

so 286,000 people were unlucky

85% of the tickets sent out went to people in Scotland and 50% of them went to citizens of Dundee

[safe_hands_mark_brown]

Not going?!

Well i hear you have a sound mate in dundee who would like to go :003: :004:

[ictrmd]

Thinking about giving them to my brother seeing as it is his birthday next week, that's if he wants them ofcourse.

Edited to add - Or I will swap them for two Saturday tickets or a ticket for the Peterhead v Partick game on Sunday. :003:

[safe_hands_mark_brown]

Hmm no can do with the Peterhead tickets

however

how does an expenses paid trip to dens park for the first game of the season sound? top class accomodation as well

and the bonus ball is, there will be no snoring this time :004:

[Onward and Upward]

Apparently the Beeb are putting up big screens in Falcon Square!

Big Screens - Scotland

We are putting up two massive digital screens in Glasgow (George Square) and Inverness (Falcon Square) so you can see the festival.

They are outdoors, free and open to the public.

They are running from:

Friday 12 May: 12.00 - 20.00

Saturday 13 May: 12.00 - 21.30

Sunday 14 May: 12.00 - 21.30

On Friday and on Saturday afternoon we'll be showing highlights and videos. On Saturday evening and Sunday you'll be able to see the best of the music from Dundee

[Caley Fish]

Woohoo:021: ! I did actually get tickets for the Sunday yesterday. Bloody Royal Mail :008:

[RiG]

Why Inverness? How random but fair play to them! Maybe they can stick a wee portable in Aberdeen for me perhaps? :015:

[Yngwie]

Some posties have been suspended after being caught with loads of Big Weekend tickets...... :008:

[Heilandee]

The Dunde missing ticket mystery is solved!!! :015:

that is what was supposed to have happened.

however, the word on the pavey down here is that of the 10,000+ tickets due for dundee only 300 were delivered by tues with an additonal 1000 on wed.

seems that it wasnt just dundee posties nicking them - it happened in all sorting offices en route.

however, you cant blame the posties as it was radio 1's incompetent handling of the ticket award system which allowed the posties to bag them in the first place.

there were plenty tickets available in dundee - i was offered about 3 sets during the week - £50 a pop!

radio rip off weekend :020:
