SitC’s Summer Warm-Up!

Summer in the City is about to become Summer in Many Cities with an exciting new addition to the event!

In the weeks before SitC 2013, the Summer Warm-Up Tour will travel to smaller venues in some of the UK’s major cities, to bring the SitC experience to those who can’t make it to the main event*. The tour will wrap up in London, on the Friday night of the SitC weekend. 

Tickets to the 14+ events will be available at the SitC Merch Store from Friday 10th May. On that day we’ll also be releasing more info about the tour - such as where, when, and who - so stay tuned!

Make sure you’re following both the SitC and Summer Warm-Up Twitter accounts for regular updates!

SitC Update: Resale Tickets, T-Shirts and a New Website!

Hello!

This is just a general update post for some new things going on in the SitCverse :)

First thing: A reminder that if you haven’t got a ticket for the event, we have to stress that you don’t buy anywhere else. Tickets can be duplicated and we don’t want anyone ripped off! (see more info on this here). We’ll be launching our waiting ballot for refunded tickets in May, so keep an eye out.

Similarly, if you have a ticket you don’t need, don’t sell it on.We’ve seen a few people trying to sell tickets for raised prices and it’s a little, for lack of a better word, tacky. Contact us at refunds@sitc-event.co.uk and we’ll sort you out.

Next thing: T-shirts!

EDIT: Colours on some tees have changed slightly. See store for details.

At the moment the most popular one seems to be the blue SitC Cat design, but what do you think? Are you Team Red, Blue, or Official Logo in White? (Less catchy but just as cool). We’ll be offering some cool bonus stuff to the first 100 purchases (offer expired), so grab yours here!

Finally, our shiny new SitC site is live!

Here you’ll get all the info you need, such as locations, contact info, things that are going on during the event, as well as that much-heard and dreaded question of ~who’s going~. Check it out here!

Don’t Buy Resale Tickets!

Hey guys,

As you know, tickets for this year’s event are sold out. They went pretty fast!

If you didn’t get any, we’ll be getting our waiting list for buying refunded tickets up and running in the next week or so, and will give you more info about that soon.

In the meantime, while we realise it’s tempting to search around the web for any tickets that other people don’t need and might be selling, we have to stress that you do not buy from anyone else but us. Not eBay, not via Twitter or Facebook, not anywhere. 

We’re not saying that for our own benefit - these aren’t regular tickets, they’re printable e-tickets and can therefore be easily duplicated. If someone mails you a ticket, they’ll still have a copy that they can use. But only one will be valid.
If you buy a ticket from someone else, but they still decide to go to SitC and get to the venue before you:

  • Your ticket will be invalid
  • You won’t be allowed in
  • There will be nothing we can do about it because you purchased outside of us
  • You will have spent your money on nothing
  • We’ll all feel bad.

It is not worth the risk, especially when you add costs of travel, accommodation etc on top of that.

Similarly, if you have tickets that you can’t use or don’t need, we also strongly request that you don’t try to sell them on. We are currently refunding any tickets that need to be, and we’re doing that pretty efficiently. If you need to refund any tickets, contact us at refunds@sitc-event.co.uk. We’ll be reselling those tickets on the waiting list, so you don’t have to try and do it yourself.

Also a reminder that if you are under 14 and do not have a ticket for an adult (21+) to come with you, you’ll have to refund your ticket unless you want to try your chances on the waiting list (More info on that here).

Stay smart guys. Please share this post with anyone you think might need to see it!

Under 14s - IMPORTANT

Hello!

We’ve been running into a couple of issues with some people who have bought tickets, and so this post is here to clear up the age discrepancy. 

Due to a policy put in place by Alexandra Palace, anyone attending SitC under 14 years old must be accompanied by an adult (aged 21+). Even if you have bought a ticket, you will not be admitted entry unless you are with a guardian who also has one.

To be abundantly clear (because people who are still 13 now keep asking) if you are not 14 by the 17th August, you will need an adult to attend. 

We made this known on the Ticketbud page, but we realise that in the excitement of buying, some people will have skipped it.

As we are currently sold out and unable to provide more tickets, if you have purchased a ticket as or for an under 14 year old without also buying for an adult, you have two options:

  • Join the refunded ticket waiting list (details of which will be announced over the next couple of days on our Twitter) and hope that a ticket frees up to purchase for an accompanying adult.
  • Request a refund at refunds@sitc-event.co.uk

We realise this isn’t a ideal situation and some people are gonna message us in disappointment, but Ally Pally’s usual policy is under 16s and they have been incredibly cool in letting us bring that age limit down. For the sake of security and keeping a good relationship with them we aren’t going to chance letting a few under-age people go unnoticed.

Thanks again, see you soon!

Announcement Video - Summer in the City 2013

Summer in the City 2013 will take place on the 17th and 18th August at London’s Alexandra Palace. Alongside the line-up mentioned in this video, we’ll be announcing additional acts and names on our website, twitter and Facebook over the coming weeks, so stay tuned! 

That went well.

Okay, so unfortunately this evening we ran into some snags when launching the ticket sale!

Before launch time, we were unable to access TicketBud due to the site being brought down by heavy traffic. We’re pretty sure it’s almost entirely SitC’s fault.

It meant that a few details couldn’t be fixed before launching and we ultimately ran into an issue with currency. The payment service we’re using operate in US dollars, something we weren’t able to change before the sale went live and led to a lot of people’s attempted purchases being rejected. While we tried to get a hold of TicketBud to fix this issue, time sort of dragged on to the point where we decided to put things on hold until we can fix it properly.

We’ll be back around 7pm tomorrow with some updates. We’re holding off on the big announcements until we can release them with the ticket sales.

Thanks for sticking with us, and believe me - no one is more annoyed about this setback than us. <3
