(in case you wonder why)
Once the last Left of the Dial tickets are sold, you can sign up for our waiting list.
The one thing we’ve learned from organising shows and festivals, is that the very minute you sell the final ticket, someone will call you in total disbelieve that they can’t buy a ticket anymore. Despite all warnings and numerous low-ticket alerts, they are completely taken by surprise that events actually sell out and that there’s no secret stash of tickets especially for people like them.
So, to be clear, when Left of the Dial is sold out, that’s it. Hate to say I told you so, no more tickets.
You might wonder: then why on earth sign up for a waiting list?
We fully understand that it doesn’t make much sense to have a waiting list for a very much and definitely sold-out festival, so please allow us to explain.
All bands get a couple of guest list spots for friends or family. Sometimes they want to bring more people who are important to them, so we always reserve a number of tickets they can buy. If a band doesn’t need these, the tickets go back on sale.
We do this every year, you just wouldn’t normally notice. But this is the first time it looks like Left of the Dial will sell out before the lineup is complete, so we can’t yet say how many artists will use their reserved tickets.
It’s possible we’ve set aside too many. And if that’s the case, we’ll let everyone on the waiting list know.
We’re not clairvoyant though, so we can’t promise anything.
Big love,
The fugazis of Left of the Dial
