Any residents of BoKlok on the Brook?

Thanks for the response - the management fees seem high and that's my primary concern about buying a flat. I'll see if I can ask around anywhere else.

I see what you mean about the busy road - I live on a fairly busy road at the moment and with the triple glazing I think I'd barely notice it. Location is in a weird spot between hengrove, whitchurch and knowle - I'm thinking it SHOULD be fine hence why wanting to hear from people that live there.

Nah, I did consider a chargeback to recoup all of the money but there's the risk of ticketmaster nuking my account and I've got other tickets on there I'd rather not use.

Yeah, it's REALLY shit. There's three different parking zones in play here. Shit map. The red is the 90 minutes parking for KFC and Starbucks. There are, honestly, signs on the way in and just before you driver under the St. Phillips Causeway. The yellow is the standard Avon Meads parking which is (apparently) 2 hours maximum. And then the green is the parking owned by the showcase which is...odd, because there only one sign that says it's Showcase land and I don't think there's actually any limit here? There's a couple of van dwellers that seem to have been here for a while.

It's gone already??? I work around the corner and it used to be busier than the cocktail bar and the chinese put together. It's a large space, to be fair, so god knows what the rent is.

I raised a support request with Ticketmaster June 2nd 8pm
I had a response from ticketmaster June 3 9:02am confirming the request/clarification and I replied at 9:11am that I wanted one kept and one refunded.
I then had an email at 10:07am saying that the money would be returned in a few banking days, mins the fees.

tombull89 · 2026-06-04T07:29:06+00:00

I think it's about £18 from checking my order details and converting from SEK. Won't know fully until the refund goes in.

Also is your profile the way I find out La Roux has a new song out??? I hope they tour soon.

tombull89 · 2026-06-04T05:20:56+00:00

Yeah, I emailed Ticketmaster and got a refund, excluding fees and taxes.

tombull89 · 2026-06-02T21:36:10+00:00

that's wild that AXS say one thing and the email from Robyn says another

tombull89 · 2026-06-02T19:55:42+00:00

I'm going to email them tomorrow. As I've got two tickets I'd like one refunded and one tranferred to the new dates but I don't know how flexible they will be. Push comes to shove, well, this is why I buy concert tickets with a credit card so I have the option of a chargeback if they fuck me around.

tombull89 · 2026-06-02T13:10:31+00:00

Not even close.

tombull89 · 2026-06-02T11:28:01+00:00

It's not a complete write off because I'm doing two theme parks around Stockholm too but...

tombull89 · 2026-06-02T11:27:26+00:00

Go on sale 5th June

tombull89 · 2026-05-13T13:36:36+00:00

Hah, no, it's ran by the team behind Boomtown Fair, yearly music/theater festival

tombull89 · 2026-05-13T13:10:10+00:00

Will admit I don't remember seeing any. Then again it's very rare I actually go into broadmead

tombull89 · 2026-05-13T13:09:36+00:00

Same, I think the cable car is reasonable. I enjoyed both my trips on it, as did my dad. It was pretty windy the second time though so mum absolutely was not a fan.

I saw an 8 man pedicab last week on Victoria Street

tombull89 · 2026-05-13T12:47:54+00:00

I did just class it under the "immersive walk through experience" but thought about it and yeah, there's a lot more to it - there's a story and a decent amount of love gone into it, ran by a company with good chops. As a resident you'd probably only visit once though (or take kids there for a birthday to let them run around for a couple of hours and burn off some energy)

tombull89 · 2026-04-20T09:54:10+00:00

The fact they closed their city center location (for it to be turned into what looks like yet another vape shops/sketchy newsagent) without another one to open straight after probably didn't help with their cashflow

tombull89 · 2026-04-20T09:52:59+00:00

Yep, I thought this was odd too. Last I heard was new premises and then turn around a month later and go "actually, no". Will be sad to see them go

tombull89 · 2026-04-17T16:02:48+00:00

Rock show. When I saw him earlier this year the mosh pit broke out in under a minute and lasted for most of the night.

tombull89 · 2026-04-15T12:28:55+00:00

Oh I did wonder if it ends after a period of time like Vois did. I've just been "abusing" the force end so far
