I've noticed a lot of traffic coming to the blog trying to establish whether or not Supajam is a scam - as I alluded to in my earlier post, I don't think it is, albeit I'm not 100% convinced that there'll be as many tickets as 'ticket holders' should everyone decide to rock up en masse on the 18th of June.
For what it's worth, and given a further fortnight's reflection, I can't really see what they would have to gain by offering completely non-existent "free" tickets to a festival. If they'd been flogging them for, say 50% of face value and then scarpering with the money that's one thing - but I've done nothing more than give them my email address and name. I give that to hundreds of websites a year and don't harbour too many concerns for the consequences.
I haven't changed my opinion that the worst outcome from the whole thing would be getting up early on the 18th to drag my sorry carcass from south London up to Finsbury Park, only to discover there is no ticket. What have I lost? 45 minutes of my life? You might even say that I'll have added some time to my life, given I'm normally still bumbling about in my pants at 1pm most Saturdays. The flip side is that, if it turns out to be true, I get £70-worth of Bob Dylan et al for bugger all. That has to be a chance worth taking, surely?*
Edit @ 22:05 - just noticed that the latest Supajam offer is discount tickets to Hop Farm, at £100 a pop, which somewhat negates my point in the 2nd paragraph. But the Feis tickets are free, therefore no risk as far as I can tell.
*NB - unless I post about it, assume I slept in / "couldn't be arsed going the whole way up to north London" when it actually came to the crunch, and am therefore unable to confirm if a lonely unclaimed ticket did, in fact, have my name on it.
