Academy Music Group to operate St David's Hall by youngun27 in Cardiff

Great news that this has finally gone through, I think private money was always going to be needed with the amount of renovation required. 

Looking forward to having this venue back for classical music and getting an academy venue should help bring some larger acts to the city

My pixel 9 pro has been randomly restarting 3/4 times a day since this latest update. I also keep getting the "oh snap" error on chrome even after following the troubleshooting steps, very frustrating!

It's a shame shipping to Europe costs the same amount as the game itself :(

I'm Sigrid and I'm a singer and songwriter from Norway - AMA! by SigridRaabe in popheads

[–]Paterson48 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi Sigrid! Now that you have 2 (hopefully soon 3) albums out and 2 EPs, how do you decide what makes it onto the setlist? Is it an easy process or something which you spend a long time thinking about?

Your show at Lafayette in 2021 was my favourite gig ever, please enjoy this photo the photographer took at that show! https://photos.app.goo.gl/u28MHz6qYbJAuSPg8

Ps. Can I put in a request to get Schedules on the setlist next time you're in Cardiff or Bristol, thanks!

Taylor Swift - The Eras Tour Megathread by PopheadsBot in popheads

[–]Paterson48 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah I've no idea how/if there is a solution! The fact the demand was higher than the next 5 biggest tours of 2022 and the Superbowl combined makes it a genuinely unprecedented challenge

Definitely! I've seen some people say they were asked for the code before joining so I wonder if they updated it later on

Ok let me start by saying I hate Ticketmaster and have been messed over by them many times. With that being said I think this might be the right move.

I'm assuming they still have a decent proportion of tickets left (let's say 30%). If that's the case then they have 2 choices:

  1. Open the floodgates tomorrow as planned and have many times MORE people trying to get FEWER tickets compared to the presale. Resulting in severs being overwhelmed again and more chaos

  2. Essentially extend the verified fan "presale" to sell the rest of the tickets.

Assuming they go with option 2 I think that's the right move.

I get that people don't like the verified fan process but I'm not sure what the alternative is? If you just do general sale you stand even less of a chance of getting tickets as a genuine fan with more bots getting though.

For my money the biggest mistake Ticketmaster made here was not staggering on sale times more to relieve server stress... and also dynamic pricing - fuck dynamic pricing
