Is everyone going to post on here when they get their email?

Haven't as yet got the mythical e-mail so guess i'm not going on the plus side some nice nigerian gentleman says that if i give him my bank details he'll transfer money into it which is nice of him :rolleyes:

How boboboboing ironic would it be if noone on this forum's members list got tickets?

We could have a demonstation, placards and all outside radio 1. Force something out of them?

:grrr:

No it's some kind of trick isn't it, part of this game Radio 1's playing.

The man on Moyles was the only one I've heard of all day - every time the DJs spoke to someone it'd be "you haven't got your tickets yet? Keep waiting, you WILL hear something..." I think the man on Moyles was just to put us off the scent. No emails have been sent on 9th May at all.

I got the email...nothing in it...apart from telling me I didn't have tickets that is. I think I was more disappointed there were no clues in there than the fact that I didn't get a ticket. I'm holding out hope on these clues leading us to tickets...

Anyone else had an e-mail to tell them either way? I got nothing yesterday and nothing as of this morning when I left the house :(

Those who got an e-mail back what did the last line about Frozen Indigo Angel say? Those who haven't had an e-mail what did the last line about FIA say for you?

Mine said the same as yours Jono and I haven't had an email either - guess will just have to listen to that deafening silence...

Mine also said: "This message has been scanned for viruses by BlackSpider MailControl - www.blackspider.com" but I've been there and it seems to be a normal company with no connections that I can see to this ARG.

Jamie was yours a "sorry no tickets" or have you got a pair of tickets?

"As we sent out over 450,000 identical emails to people who didn't get tickets there is a chance email providers have rejected these emails as spam - unfortunately there is nothing we can do about this.

Alternatively you may have given us the wrong email address - a surprisingly large amount of people make this mistake.

As long as you gave the correct name and postal address, your tickets will be sent out if you were successful."

That irritates me, as if they knew it was going to be blocked as spam they could have done something else - such as enclose our name or address or something. We all got the registration e-mail so there wasn't a wrong address, and yet I barely know any one who got any sort of response.

    • But he is posh, the opposite to Jordan. Not down to earth. You’re right, the show does play on it. If I’m honest, I stopped listening to Going Home, the day Laing started. Sam and Danni were better. 😂
    • It’s not necessarily the fact that Jamie is posh. It’s that the show seems to be really keen to play on it. Within 10 minutes of their first show they were playing voice notes from his Celeb mates. Compare that to Vick and Jordan’s first week in September 2021; their first links were about Jordan’s awkward encounter with his plumber and Vick slapping a roast chicken.    And then on Monday this week, Jamie is sulking (exaggerated sulking admittedly) about something, this ultimately being that another of his celeb mates has cancelled his appearance on their show, and they’re literally reading out texts such as ‘I’m sure this is going to be relatable to the entire population.’
    • That’s a last minute change!
    • Jordan, Greg, they’re down to earth. That’s what makes them resonate so much with listeners.  
    • It's a bizarre thing though....it would be nice to hear a few more tracks from the past 10 years mixed into daytime. However, at the other extreme, I find it odd how often really old tracks come up on Anthems and even the likes of Soundsystem Party and Dance Anthems.   The odd throwback is great but sometimes it feels too much.
    • I do like Cat Burns but it’s a good point about the many artists on future artists and other specialist shows. If they manage to launch the ‘Anthems’ like sister station hope they make changes to the stations playlist.
    • Some shows do play some songs from pre-2018 regularly. Mainly Matt & Mollie and Radio 1 Breakfast. Also don't forget the shortened Anne-Marie - Ciao Adios which gets played every 26 seconds. 😂
    • I hate reverse snobbery and I post this reluctantly as we shouldn't hold Jamie's background against him, but I do think many listeners will find it hard to identify with Jamie.  One of the things that made Jordan so popular was he sounded like the mate you go for a pint with who always has a great story to tell.
    • Absolutely - life would be dull if we all liked the same things  
    • Dean in for Greg on Tuesday.
    • While it maybe doesn't the power it once has (where being on the A-List was a big deal), It's a big part of the station and I felt probably deserves it's own thread. Have to be honest I haven't been hugely enamored with the playlist in recent times. Radio 1 seem quite heavily wedded to it in weekdays (at least Monday-Thursday) which can lead to the station being repetitive if you listen throughout the day. Even a station like Capital who are known for their limited playlist seem to throw in some older tracks and artists ever so often whereas if it's not Something Songs, 10 Minute Takeover or Anthems you often struggle to hear a song from before 2018. The repetitive nature has been a thing for a while though to be fair - I recall early 2021 in particular it felt like Tiesto's 'The Business' and Olivia Rodrigo's 'Drivers Licence' were played every other hour. Also certain Radio 1 favourites seem almost guaranteed a slot on the playlist even if they don't actually appear to be wildly popular with the target audience to justify it. I get it with your Dua Lipas, Calvin Harrises, Fred Agains  and Olivia Rodrigos as they're all very popular but less so if it's say Cat Burns, Aitch, Royal Blood or Mabel. Which is fine to an extent as Radio 1 has often focussed on promoting new music but then you have great music by other new artists that just never makes it to the playlist as a result.
    • Yep I really struggled with Matt & Jamie which was a shame as otherwise really like Matt. Unfortunately it comes across on-air whether it's actually try or not that Jamie doesn't know a lot about radio and doesn't seem particularly desperate to improve either or if I'm being generous he's playing an act - neither of which particularly appeals. The everyman act can sometimes work but you need to have that natural likability and appeal for it to do so in the way that way Chris Stark did. I mean even towards the end of his stint with Matt Jamie was struggling with getting the Whatsapp number right which is a basic.
    • Have to say even if there is a good reason for Jamie to be off on Thursdays the optics of them a month in still not be able to do a 'normal week' of the scheduled team for a brand new show isn't great. And if Jamie was meant to be away on Thursdays clearly nobody let whoever runs BBC Sounds know. Who would've guessed from the Vick & Jordan days though that it would be Vick who's the everpresent so far (just kidding Vick - really rate her as a DJ and I know she has a lot of other engagements outside of Radio 1).
    • Sorry explain what you mean there please? Danny is unlistenable??
