BANKSY Curated Show "Dismaland" in Weston-super-Mare, by Dice on Aug 20, 2015 9:33:06 GMT 1, Typical Banksy. Thinking of locals before us lot and the press and VIPs. Good on him. Thinking about his community. And I am one of those with a Hotel room booked for tonight and tomorrow. Oh well! I'm travelling down today with some forumites and will send some photos of the outside, the seagulls, the kissmequick hats and greasy chips…oh we do like to be beside the seaside, oh we do like to be beside the sea... you need to blag your way into the press night tonight

BANKSY Curated Show "Dismaland" in Weston-super-Mare, by Quinnster on Aug 20, 2015 9:33:21 GMT 1, On Thursday, is there a 'press only' event? Answer is no, as it doesn't need it. On Friday, is there an 'invite only' event? Answer is no, as no invites have gone out and nothing is for sale. All we know is that we will only get a few hours notice of anything happening and await for the element of surprise.
This is not correct I know someone who has an invite for Friday. And you can bet the balance of the GWB aps will be avalable for those who know....

BANKSY Curated Show "Dismaland" in Weston-super-Mare, by Chrisp on Aug 20, 2015 10:12:38 GMT 1, 37 days times 4000 tickets equals probably not enough?
Where does it say 4000 tickets? I'd imagine a few thousand a day would pass through at least. 1 out 1 in.

The rules etc about ticket sales are all on the website.
It is clear enough.
There might be a mad rush for the first few days but maybe better to plan a visit and also see the DJ's at work.
It's worth a visit just for the artists gallery.
Plus if it buckets down with rain and gets all muddy and exhibits fall apart.
The effect will be more Dismal.

BANKSY Curated Show "Dismaland" in Weston-super-Mare, by Deleted on Aug 20, 2015 10:44:12 GMT 1, It's interesting that the quote says " I hope we never lose sight of...." Is that we as in Banksy collective or we as in us? It's a funny way to put it. Not really, as it is a Disney quote and the entertaining anti-Semite did want to entertain the masses. The Banksy part would just be a takedown on the quote. Quite amusing to catch up on this thread as I've been on holiday with my 10 year old and we spent last 2 nights at Disneyland (I'm from Brooklyn and fully dug BOTI). However, while all of this will be fun KAWS has been mining the Disney takedown for well over a decade to great effect, and to me Disney too easy a target at this point. But if there was a Robber Barons Thru History Whack A Mole game I'd play!
A lot of street artists etc have profited from using Disney images including Brainwash.
Hollyweird has it's own culture and mentality.

Roy - it is the new Instagram account @dismaland - our insta will be busy this weekend - Me and Dibbs will be in the chair so stand-by for a regular and unrelenting bombardment of dismal imagery and completely irrelevant commentary
Blasting off in about 30 mins - as soon as I find a clean pair of under-crackers

It depends if the whole thing is paid for by one person or company or buy doing deals.
It's also tax deductable and the investment generates lots of column inches and mentions on the Tele.
Plus other Brownie points.
Lets hope that people going there don't get ripped off by Uber drvers
