It's not the luck of the draw if some people have found a way to get around the system though is it? I wouldn't be as bothered if I knew the allocation of tickets had been fair.

How exactly is you NOT getting tickets a case of some people finding a way around the system? There's nothing to say use of multiple emails etc isn't allowed, some people did it, you didn't... end of.

Also if you're hating R1 so much, why join an R1 fansite?

Ok, I've calmed down a bit from yesterday and now realise my reaction was a little over the top. Sorry about that.

I'm still a bit annoyed though and I won't be putting Radio 1 on at least until they've stopped talking about the Big Weekend.

Before I go I'd just like to respond to some of MrDoodooBlahblah's points.

How exactly is you NOT getting tickets a case of some people finding a way around the system?

If some people are getting multiple pairs of tickets that means other people are getting no tickets. I'm not saying that I would have been guaranteed a pair but I would have been in with a better chance if Radio 1 had a system for spotting multiple entries.

nothing to say use of multiple emails etc isn't allowed, some people did it, you didn't... end of.

You're right, there is nothing to say that multiple email addresses aren't allowed. However it does say that multiple entries are not allowed which should cover the use of different email addresses. Although thinking about it, it's a possibility that R1 deliberately didn't include anything about multiple email addresses because they know they wouldn't be able to enforce it?

if you're hating R1 so much, why join an R1 fansite?

I'll admit, I'm not a big fan of Scott Mills. The reason I joined this site was because I noticed it had a dedicated Big Weekend forum. So thinking I was in with a good chance of getting tickets I created an account here so I could easily keep up with any new developments etc.

If only there were some actual evidence to back up that opinion in some way ;)

I'm afraid you're just going to have to trust me on that one. As much as I am annoyed that my sister got two pairs of tickets and I didn't get any, I know how exited she and her friends are about going and it would ruin their summer if I started posting information on the internet which f*cked it up.

fishy here apart from the convenient promotion of another station if you ask me.

I have nothing to do with that radio station, it was just the first one that I picked out of the air in the heat of the moment. I've tried to remove the last sentence of my first post but I don't seem to be able to edit it any more, so if a mod or somebody else wants to remove it, that's fine by me.

Now, I'd rather not hear any more about Radio 1's Big Weekend in Bangor. Bye.

      Dean and Vicky - what happened?

      By lochnessa · Posted

      Dare I say they've sounded great this past week?  Very much gelling.  Maybe less pressure?  Seem to be having a genuinely good time and not forcing things.

      I'm in the minority in my workplace, most of them love country music.  Me, the American, does not care for it.  That said, I haven't haaaaaated some of the country adjacent stuff that's been on the R1 playlist.

      It is funny because everyone thought Matt was on the way out, now he's been described as the heir to Mills.

      Some similar names to Big Weekend.  Sabrina Carpenter, David Guetta, Perrie, Bradley Simpson, Jax Jones, Caity Baser, Benson Boone, Rudimental. David Guetta is a good name.

      Still Scott for me. I'm not too much into the 70s and 80s radio 2 play but do love the injection of 90s and 00s. Then Radio 2 push for all this country stuff and it not a UK thing, and I frankly don't like it. Scott's show as in features, hit and miss. I like the music police bit, but it feels like someone needs to join him. It's a shame Chappers is so busy with sports, as it feels like it could do with someone like him jumping on to help. Or a new partner. Radio 1, take or leave. Matt and Mollie are OK from what I've heard and share a good connection, but it's the playlist that throws me off. They could bring back Chris Moyles to do that show, but as soon as something like Headie One comes on with that casino keyboard produced crap. It would still be switched off from me.

      Reading through this thread, I don't feel quite so alone now, in thinking that Scott Mills on R2 is not a good 'fit' (even less so than on R5).  I can't quite explain why this is so - I just know it to be so.

      The brought to tiers feature was also very good from them. I did wonder which DJ's were going to get picked out of the hat, that could have gone one way or the other and the caller said they were very opinionated lol. Correct decision putting katie in god tier!

      The extended Dua Lipa track from M&M was very funny. I'm hoping Matt and Mollie and Scott have a good relationship a bit like Greg and Zoe collaborate on-air sometimes.

      Scott v Matt and Mollie

      By xxladybarefootxx · Posted

      When Scott and Chris announced their departure from R1, I remember there was lots of speculation about who would take over the 1pm slot. Matt and Mollie were talked about a lot on here, and at the time I really didn't rate them as a replacement. A few years on, I see that I was totally wrong. They are such a good pairing, and it's the same kind of duo as Scott and Chris, in that they are real life friends, who spend time together in their real lives, which really does come across on air. True friends having a laugh together, and everyone is invited is how it feels to me now. I never thought about it before, but I agree with @coffeeandgin that Mollie is the Scott of the duo - pop obsessed and maybe a litte ditsy, but so funny, and in need of someone to anchor to or bounce off.  It seems that Matt is the kind of Chris of the duo then in that comparison, the one with the ideas, but also needs another person to make the magic happen. I know I'm outside of the R1 demographic, and maybe Dean and Vicky were meant to be younger and fresher, but I'm sure in my younger years I would have preferred to listen to two people who had a genuine connection and could really make each other laugh, as well as have the listeners laugh along. That was the Scott and Chris factor for me, and I think the only pair that come close to that now are Matt and Mollie.
