[Jono]

I have exams - so, no, I'm not going.

[Chippy]

But if you didn't have exams, would Scott/Radio 1 sneak a couple of tickets to you?

If the answer is yes, expect a Daily Mail scandal.

[Jono]

But if you didn't have exams, would Scott/Radio 1 sneak a couple of tickets to you?

Scott's never had an influence on it and even if he did I think I'd be way down the list for people he'd want to see there.

I can assure you that the system isn't that easy at all. Last year I got to go but the word on whether you can go or not literally comes in the last few days before the event and even then you're lucky for one ticket for the one day.

[Jugalug]

Well, in light of this, I hate Jono.

[-sophie-]

Uhhh, why? Because we can't have a detailed tweet stream?

[Nik B.]

I'll happily take your place this year Jono xD

and you lie you jammy git! you were there both days last year on a press pass. I think. No I know. I remember. I think. xD

[E*F*4L]

I have exams - so, no, I'm not going.

awww no

isn't there know way that you could fit it in ?

did dave join just so he could ask this question :doubt:

[Jono]

awww no

isn't there know way that you could fit it in ?

No, it's a good six hour journey and I have to be in the exam hall on Monday morning!

[SeanMonty]

Radio One use this site loads and Jono does keep it running so surely he should get some rewards?!

Saying that, on work experience, i had to research Bangor for Moyles and do i get tickets? No! (Should have sold on the location to the News Of The World)

[superchris0110]

Damn those pesky exams, I was rather looking forward to the annual UM Big Weekend tweets

[duncan]

I have exams - so, no, I'm not going.

That's a shame - I was looking forward to the tweets.

And Jono - good luck for Monday, I'm sure you'll do well in your exams

[Rob]

Did you get offered tickets Jono? If so, you could have sent your second-in-command.

That's me by the way if you didn't get the hint.

[Jono]

Did you get offered tickets Jono? If so, you could have sent your second-in-command.

I did. But they could have only been collected under my name with ID on the day.

That's me by the way if you didn't get the hint.

I thought that was Viv.

I'm still in Norfolk for all you conspiracy theorists

Thats a disgrace (no offence to Jono) if true when hundereds of thousands people who applied and were unlucky and certain people just get invited willy nilly and they have no real reason to be there i.e. he not a bbc employee

So someone that devotes unpaid work to Radio 1 day in and out working with producers, Radio 1 employees, and promotes stuff that the BBC aren't able to promote, shouldn't be allowed a press pass (which would only go to a newspaper otherwise) for the weekend as a way of thanks? Someone who will happily pay for somewhere to stay and for the travel costs (unlike BBC employees). I refer you to last year's mini-site with pictures, videos, news, gossip and constant tweets from the weekend. All created by myself with that one ticket - certainly wasn't a jolly.

To be fair to Jono, he has put alot of work into this site, and into promoting not only Scott's shows but Radio 1 in general. So why shouldn't he be recognised once a year?

And yes thousands of people were unlucky... but that's just how it is! You win some, you lose some.

Are you somewhat bitter that your not there today?
