How do people get hold of hospitality tickets?

I'm happy to pay for one if it is the final option, but just don't know how to get them!

Are they just for music industry people?

Hi all,

Looking for one Friday ticket. Was wondering if anyone knows if / when a ticketmaster resale might happen?

Hiya,

Thinking about going to my family's in Dublin to try for tickets this year.

Anyone know much about international IPs and the success rate?

Trying to figure out if it's worth it!

Thanks

It's my bestie's wedding next month and the plan was I was going to share a room with one of the other bridesmaids / my friend. This was agreed in February. There's 6 of us, 3 are getting married and 1 is in a long term relationship so they'll be sharing with their partners. It worked out perfectly and was something I was so excited about as it would have been a cute girly sleepover for a few days!!

The bridesmaid I was sharing with got a boyfriend in March and at the beginning of this month the bride casually slipped into conversation that her boyfriend was coming to the wedding. It is lovely and if this is what they want wedding wise, amazing. However, I did bring up to the bride that I was a bit concerned with how much a new room will cost me now as I won't be sharing. The bride wants us to stay at a specific hotel and has booked the accommodation herself, so not only has the agreement been made that this guy who we've not met is coming, the bride didn't think straight away that another room would be booked for me.

I asked the bride to find out how much the room is going to be (it's in a fancy part of the country, so it's going to be around £100 a night easy) at the beginning of May. She said she would 100% do that and she was sorry she didn't consider it before.

I haven't heard anything about the cost since and felt awkward chasing it to be honest. For some reason I feel a bit embarrassed and as if I am being a bit disruptive.. idk may it's anxiety. around the whole thing.

We went on the bridal shower this weekend and I haven't heard anything about the room since. I didn't bring it up to the other bridesmaid either (tbh with you I am so worried about looking like the 'angry' single friend or something if you get what I mean). Turns out the bride has been speaking about this whole room situation with the rest of the bridal party and has not said a word to me. The bridesmaid was like "yeah I'm really sorry we're not sharing a room anymore I was looking forward to it" and said the bride was sorting out a situation for me. What that situation is, I have no idea.

I don't know if i'm being dramatic, but I just find it so embarrassing that there's been conversations about this whole thing without me involved.. it's already quite awkward enough. We're a month away from the wedding and I still don't know how much a room is going to cost me.. like idk.

Also before anyone comes at me for 'stressing the bride out', she's not stressed. She has 4 wedding planners who have been more than helpful getting everything prepared and wants us at a specific hotel so that's why I've brought it up with her.

Would I be out of order if I say to the bride and the rest of the bridal party "look i'm going to stay somewhere cheaper as I can't afford this but I will make sure to come to the hotel as early as possible on the actual wedding day"?

Also am I in the wrong? I seriously need to know as I don't want to be unreasonable or anything like that. I feel quite upset about it but I want to be pragmatic as I don't want to cause any issues.

What's everyone thinking?

Harry Styles is basically confirmed, think Madonna will do Sunday night... dunno about the final one.

I think Dave could do it and would put on a fantastic show! But I don't know if they'll be pushing a pop headliner like Sabrina Carpenter (assuming she's dropping an album or something off the back of her Coachella set?).

Anyway.. what's the odds looking like? Who do you reckon's gonna headline?

Hello all,

Doing glasto admin today (adamant i'm there next year!).

Long and short of it, how do you deal with flakes / drop outs in a group?

A flakey friend wants to get in a group with me this year. Issue is they've dropped out 2 years running and it's left me with no group at all.

One year a good friend of mine asked me to join their group, turned it down for my other mates as they hadn't been to glasto before and weren't sure how the sale work. And then last year's sale the same thing happened about a week before.

Flakey Friend that's dropped out 2 years on the trot is 'adamant' they're coming next year. I don't believe them, but they're one of my best friends. I am joining my good friend who I stupidly parred off for them before, but I just know they won't want my flakey friend to join.

Was thinking of asking my good friend for the favour and saying to my flakey friend (sorry they are really nice I promise it's just an easier way to describe them in a reddit post haha) if they decide last minute they're not going to get a ticket they still have to help us try.

What do ya think? Worth the hassle? Any advice on this kind of thing is appreciated.

Thanks guys, see ya in the healing fields for a sound bath next year.

Hello all!

Looking at this Fresh & Black one - https://www.decathlon.co.uk/sports/camping/expedition-tents?pdt-highlight=331796&vc=c335c98c251m8641758&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=gb_ct-shopp_t-perf_nc-pb-store-conquest_ts-pro_f-cv_o-omre_spd-msp_spu-msp_sp-msp_pt-pb_pnl-mkt_l-en_bm-roa_sg-na_xx-pb-store-conquest_&utm_term=ts-pro_spd-msp_spu-msp_sp-msp_pt-pb_l-en_yy-pb-store-conquest_&utm_content=zz-pb-store-conquest_&utm_id=23148256015-187078144557&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=23148256015&gbraid=0AAAAADygKq2HN0-zydmDCLiaH1CuzvPXX&gclid=Cj0KCQjww8rQBhDjARIsAE43KPNayk1zCYot6aJ1bz488b_LVjNmSoP_gGmH6VPIKbtsZ1_CFOtI7z0aAiPmEALw_wcB

What does everyone think? Has anyone got it and can confirm you're able to sleep during a heat wave?

Thank you 😄

Hi everyone,

 

I need advice on handling the corporate 9-5 world.

 

I've retrained and used to work in music where things were a little bit more relaxed. I couldn't afford to keep working in music so have retrained and work in HR.

 

I'm doing alright I think! I'm trying my best and am staying away from the office clicks and doing my work to the best I can.. all that stuff. Most people are lovely, but I feel myself questioning my behaviour and feeling a hell of a lot more anxious about my perception than I did in music.

 

They’re quite dismissive here, but it’s a good company with way better pay then I’m used to. But I’m still an ‘outsider’ (been here 4.5 months).

 

Just had a nice chat with a manager and I just feel I put my foot in it and am completely spiralling. We were joking about her kids going round wearing chains and manbags and I made the stupid comment “yeah it’s funny they act like that and come from Parsons Green” and she went “well we’re not quite Parsons Green” (guys she 100% lives round that way.. I wasn’t just assuming) and then it was just awkward and the chat fizzled out.

 

Thing is I was just joking about these kids having a nice upbringing and I shouldn’t have done it. I’m on an FTC and really need this job and now I’m just freaking out basically.

 

How do you handle the social side in these offices?! I feel completely on edge!

Getting myself ready for the summer!

Has anyone bought this trolly from B&Q: https://www.diy.com/departments/600lb-heavy-duty-sack-truck-industrial-hand-trolley-with-pneumatic-tyre-wheel-for-moving-lifting-large-items-hand-trucks-high-back/5056316702478_BQ.prd#search_term_redirect=Heavy%20Duty%20Sack%20Truck%20Industrial%20Hand%20Trolley%20With%20Pneumatic%20Tyre%20Wheel%20For%20Moving%20Lifting%20Large%20Items%20Hand%20Trucks%20High%20Back

Is it any good for Glasto and other festivals?

Thanks

Anyone else go to this the other day? Vibes were really off, security were really intense in and around the venue.. also not having a few sets outside was such a let down.

Last time I went to The Cause it was sick.. dunno if i'd be rushing back now
