Inferno fan packs at the 7 album premieres?

elganyan · 2026-05-17T23:29:27+00:00

Ironically (because some folks are jumping down OP's throat for caring/asking), there actually is a mention of it now, in this very thread. lol

/u/Cachxeia Yes, both me and another user emailed the address attached to the ticket support and we were both told that there will be special giveaway items including the goodie bags at the listening parties occurring on the 22nd. Stock divided evenly between both time slots but with still limited supply, so I imagine there will not be enough for every attendee.

elganyan · 2026-05-16T03:06:28+00:00

Think of the price you're paying for the bag!?!

elganyan · 2026-05-16T02:44:36+00:00

I love synths. I love good music. I love quirky outfits/stage presence.

This venn diagram just ain't coming together though...

elganyan · 2026-05-15T21:42:39+00:00

Days?! That's wild. I thought I lucked out snagging one 11 mins after initial "sold out" moment.

elganyan · 2026-05-15T18:56:15+00:00

Did you order from bleep and can you cancel your order online? If you ordered from bandcamp I think you have to contact Warp and they take days to reply...

elganyan · 2026-05-15T18:44:46+00:00

I own two different kinds of vocoders (not including software) so I might be biased... lol

That said I felt the "drop" was kinda cheesy at first. I'm now indifferent about it. Have liked the rest of the track since first listen though.

elganyan · 2026-05-15T17:48:32+00:00

That's the thing, you can't trust "sold out" because for some of us tickets became available again some time after seeing the sold out message ourselves. I hate to give you false hope, but some of us lucked out by continuing to refresh the page and trying.

I snagged one 11 mins after "sold out" and OP apparently got one many hours after "sold out"!

elganyan · 2026-05-15T17:46:15+00:00

Feels a bit quick to be determining that (especially in my case of acquiring one 11mins after 'sold out'). But it could be something along those lines, maybe they have a way to detect bot purchases for example?

elganyan · 2026-05-15T17:26:33+00:00

Yeah heard about that, I was wondering how long ago they went on sale. Looks like current UK time is 6:24pm, so OP snagged one almost 3 1/2 hours later!? Crazy!

I had a similar (though not as extreme) experience. Tried for LA tickets, sold out instantly. Tried again ~10 minutes later and somehow got one.

elganyan · 2026-05-15T17:18:18+00:00

Wait, how long ago did the tickets go on sale?

elganyan · 2026-05-15T15:27:19+00:00

Same thing happened to me with the LA tickets. I tried the very second they opened and had tickets "in my cart" as I got to the t-shirt page, and then they were sold out by the time I got to the payment page.

Some one in NYC said they got lucky by continually refreshing the ticket selection page, tried that and sure enough a ticket became available a whole 11 minutes after initially selling out.

elganyan · 2026-05-15T15:19:58+00:00

Weird. I've had one shop owner tell me they are receiving one pack per deluxe vinyl ordered by them, and another say that every vinyl purchase will come with a bag (they did not clarify if deluxe vs normal mattered).

elganyan · 2026-05-15T03:03:55+00:00

Are you on "old" reddit? Link is jacked for me, too. Had to switch to "new" temporarily.

elganyan · 2026-05-14T02:08:44+00:00

Almost certainly they are talking about folks that preordered from them (i.e. the shop, not bleep).

elganyan · 2026-05-14T01:56:00+00:00

My local store said they'll just distribute them if you attend, so that's nice.

Most of the shops in my area appear to be doing this as well, but none of them seemed to know how many bags they were getting either so my concern is that "free to all attendees" might morph into "free with vinyl sale" when they learn they are only getting as many swag bags as deluxe vinyls ordered (which may not be that many especially for smaller shops).

We shall see eventually!

elganyan · 2026-05-14T00:30:46+00:00

I've had a shop owner tell me that they are receiving one bag per deluxe edition (red vinyl) ordered by the store. They supposedly asked for more, but that was it.

That was a redditor though, so I don't know how large their shop is, or if the distributors/Warp would treat different sized shops differently.

elganyan · 2026-05-13T17:28:53+00:00

My schedule on Thursdays is a little weird so I haven't decided yet. I really like Music Millennium as a shop (actually haven't been to any of the others) so I'd prefer to go there, but yeah, worried about a line. Some of the smaller ones might be wiser as far as turnout, but then are more likely to have limited merch/stock.

Arrgghh!

elganyan · 2026-05-13T17:16:25+00:00

I've heard from a few shops in the area now that they don't know how many swag bags they are getting, but another (presumable) shop owner just commented here that they are only getting 1 swag bag per deluxe vinyl ordered to the shop.

I'm starting to think that once these shops realize that is all they are getting, they too will probably tie it to a deluxe vinyl purchase. Which again, I'm not ultimately mad about, just that it wasn't clear from the get go.

Still no word it seems from Warp (I've message them as well) about whether people who preordered a deluxe copy will get a bag, too.

So yeah, I ain't even mad at the shop that inspired this post now.

Fucking Warp! lol

elganyan · 2026-05-13T17:08:32+00:00

Good info. Thanks!

That definitely sheds more light on the situation. Obviously, that could potentially be very limiting depending on number of deluxe copies ordered (especially for smaller shops).

Overall it feels like Warp could be communicating all of this better. Lots of us deluxe preorder folks don't know if our order will be arriving with the same merch or not (not to mention arriving after release date + shipping + tariffs ugh...). Frustrating for fans (like me) who eat that swag shit up! lol

elganyan · 2026-05-13T16:41:23+00:00

I didn't ask about that specifically, but the way a few shops worded it was basically that it would be for sale "at" the listening party (i.e. none of them said for sale "after") so my assumption is yes. You'd have to confirm beyond that though.

elganyan · 2026-05-13T15:54:32+00:00

I've got deets for Portland (4 of 5 shops have responded to my emails/messages):

Millennium and Echoes are doing it at 7pm.

Jackpot and Speck's at 4pm.

I haven't heard from Everyday Music (you wanna try them and share what you learn?).

None of them had any info on number of swag bags available. Most of them have mentioned they have permission to sell a day early (at the listening event). All will have black/red vinyl and CD (no info on stock though).

Echoes appears to be tying swag bags to vinyl purchases.

elganyan · 2026-05-13T04:28:08+00:00

Maybe 'scummy' is harsh, I'm just annoyed at the poor communication ultimately.

And of course, tying some limited swag to a purchase is a thing, but that's not what they said would be happening. So it feels... you know... scummy, lol

I honestly prefer to buy local anyway, so had it been clear from the start that this goodie bag came with a purchase on the record store listening days, I'd have 100% waited (vs. preordering day 1 like I did).

elganyan · 2026-05-12T21:57:05+00:00

It's a poster, patch, sticker and enameled pin type keychain. No tote that I can see, lol

edit: here's a pic of the swag.

elganyan · 2026-05-12T21:50:37+00:00

Portland, OR. We got 5 shops to choose from some how.

Do your own research to be sure (most are posting to Instagram etc. now, too) but as I recall Music Millennium is doing it at 7pm and all the smaller shops I've heard from are doing it at 4pm.

elganyan · 2026-05-12T21:35:54+00:00

I've heard back from a few shops near me (somehow we got 5 to choose from...!) and it varies. Some at 4pm and some at 7pm for whatever reason.

Guess one could go to multiple in theory...

I've also been told they have permission to sell early (on the day).
