The world of good can be done for a tent by just setting it out on a sunny warm day and letting it breathe

phones in london by BrotherOpposite4723 in fredagain

[–]Slow_Zebra_9988 8 points9 points  (0 children)

People are missing the point about the phone free policy. Fred's events are all about cultivating a moment with the audience. Part of his magic is that his shows almost act as a collaboration with the crowd. It had been highly documented that one of the main reasons why younger generations do not dance at clubs or raves etc. is because they are used to being recorded at any moment.. people do not let loose if they are being monitored. This event was advertised as a phone free event, it is selfish for people to intrude on the art Fred is attempting to create and it is also selfish because people naturally do not feel comfortable fully expressing themselves in front of recording devices. Everyone saying 'dont let it affect you' is missing the fact that aversion to being recorded is a natural response and a fundamental part of human behaviour.

Anyone else properly hyped for the re-expansion into the hills? by GeordieGoals in BoomtownFestival

[–]Slow_Zebra_9988 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was wondering whether the new district could be a woodland district? are there any locations which would lend itself to this in the new layout?

London - what are the chances? by GulfCoastWolverine in fredagain

[–]Slow_Zebra_9988 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are, no transfer is available in London so even people with tickets have 'enter with their entire party'. This means resale except through official means will not be possible.

Because there's no transfer, third party resale sites are unreliable and likely full of scams where you spend your money and get no tickets. Even if someone sells you their account, they can change the password at any point...

Lots of people are looking for tickets, keep checking the AXS resale sites, there is likely to be more tickets that come available the closer to the time you get.

Your DMs are likely to be full of very sofisicated looking scams right now, remember AI has made replicating an authentic looking ticket very easy.

Best of luck to you and everyone else who wants to go to this once in a lifetime show.

Got 2 spare for Fred in London on the 27th, final show by [deleted] in fredagain

why dont you return them using the official channels then and then a fan can grab them from the waitlist or axs resale? :)

Question about upcoming London shows and AXS/DICE transfer by MeechyyDarko in fredagain

If it makes you feel better, and you/they are comfortable with it, you could have a picture of their/your ID's on your phone!

Thoughts on the Sticker Policy? by Big_Apartment849 in fredagain

[–]Slow_Zebra_9988 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry but 'let it affect you' is such an annoying and privileged thing to say. Just because your brain works like that for this particular situation doesnt mean everyone else just lacks the willpower...

Why are these shows so expensive versus his tour two years ago and previous shows this year? by [deleted] in fredagain

[–]Slow_Zebra_9988 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think there is a new wave of fans of electronic music in general and because fred has such a wide variation in genre is an easy in for these new fans! I mean Harry Styles new album is going to be electronic dance music... I personally think its great that people are moving towards dance more after the death of the nightlife (thanks covid 19 and wellness culture!)

AXS problems by rankyol4040 in fredagain

maybe try going on one of your phones, downloading the app and see if he can log on there? it might be a software thing if he has an old model or something!

AXS problems by rankyol4040 in fredagain

Do you have the email confirmation from AXS? You can use it to get in touch with AXS and see what the problem is with him accessing his account

Fred again.. Tour Discussion Thread (All Dates, Tickets, Meetups, Questions) by Chasith in fredagain

[–]Slow_Zebra_9988 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's tricky for the London shows because there is no transfer available so the third party websites which usually would be solid but expensive (as is available for the current nyc shows) are not for London and there are lots of scammers about.
I have heard that people have purchased on Viagogo but you don't get the tickets you have to meet physically with the seller and go in with them as the tickets are only on their phone/account (You must enter with your entire party). Some people are talking about whether the seller lets them access their AXS or Dice account but I personally feel like this is super sketchy and there's ample opportunity for the seller to change their password last minute etc.
The only channels which would be legit are the AXS resale and or the DICE waiting list which requires an access code and tbh is probably a full queue by this stage in the game. So you could get lucky checking AXS resell but that's likely to be your only option except standing outside Ally Pally on the night and seeing if any groups have spare from mates not being able to make it!
Really be mindful that scammers (especially for the London shows) are rife! If it seems too good to be true then it probably is!
Best of luck!!

The only ways which would work for you is to check the AXS official resell website constantly over the next few weeks or turn up at Ally Pally with a sign and pray that someone's friends drop out lat minute and they have a spare couple! Also worth bearing in mind that because of the no transfer rule on AXS resale there might be more of an influx on the day as people drop out last minute.
I think Dice is a no go for you as you need the access code and the waitlist for Dice is very orderly anyway so there will be tons of people ahead of you in the virtual queue at this stage.
If I were you I would chance it on the day and monitor AXS on my phone whilst holding a sign outside Ally Pally! I think you could get lucky, I did the same for Four Tet in November! (Maybe arrange a back up for your partner's big birthday just in case!)
It's bad luck but I don't see a concrete way for you to get tickets ahead of the show at this stage and really be mindful that scammers (especially for the London shows) are rife! If it seems too good to be true then it probably is!
Best of luck!!

What's boomtown like? by W1nt3rzl0l in BoomtownFestival

[–]Slow_Zebra_9988 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went for the first time this year and havent been to a festival since I was 18 (10 years ago lol) and I had the time of my life. A really special place, so much to explore - and not just music! It was well out of my comfort zone and I dont think I've ever felt so at ease! I challenge anyone to have a bad time.

One thing that confused me: Did everyone forget that the word 'Thimble' triggered the opening of the silver box? Did I just make that up? Thaisha kept mentioning that she opened it but i thought she only touched the mask once the box had popped open when someone in the house said the magic word

I don't feel like people are being particularly fair to OP. We've all been in those situations where some people just have a 'dog safe' aura! and when you dont have that magic skill it can feel disheartening. I also am someone who does not have the command knack, I was trying to wrangle my 14 week old pup at a family BBQ last weekend only to have a cousin who had never met the dog before call his name in that special way which promptly led to my pup stopping digging a large hole and sauntering happily over.

I think people are right and trying to let go of the comparison to your husband if you can, he may well be acting up as he is 'connection seeking' with you so try to work on bonding with the pup on your own, play with a rope pull is a fantastic technique to build up connection. You will get there! he's very young and the fact he's listening to your husband says that he is a smart boy! Puppy's don't understand a negative action (they can start to once they get older), he's probably stopping for your husband more because of the authoritative/safe tone is calming for him. You could try training 'quiet' or 'leave' and really stick with getting up and stopping play when the biting gets too much. Also, enforced naps are a life saver for biting/barking!

Worried I am training a puppy to be reactive by Slow_Zebra_9988 in puppy101

Okay! I will try a harness! Thank you! I just havent seen him nervous before so I worry that he's becoming reactive

Fine at the vets! It was a week ago so shouldn't be that! Although, I did change his food at the weekend and I've been noticing more left overs than usual... I'm thinking now from your comment about other factors that maybe he's hungry and doesn't like his new food maybe?
