How Does a Banksy Online Print Release Work?, by sufsean on Sept 24, 2013 21:57:52 GMT 1, With the LA October 2013 news, and the slight chance of a print release...I was wondering if people can inform me, or give their stories on how an online print release works.
-Is there a general time stated? (i.e. Shepard Fairey would say between 1-3pm pst)
-How much lead time do people have to prep?
-How quickly does it run out? (I'm thinking 2 or 3 minutes)
-Do you have to have any payment options set up prior to save time?
-Is there some sort of lottery involved? If so, how does that work?
-Any tips? Other than hitting refresh...
Let me know- Dreaming of my first Banksy 
thanks again!

Good luck fella.
Only one i got was Donuts and that was lottery, you register then the Gods let you know if you are the chosen one and then give you a period of time to think if you want the print or not.

Too late and better to be prepared than not...
Also--another question is the usual time frames...

How Does a Banksy Online Print Release Work?, by elwheel on Sept 24, 2013 22:10:11 GMT 1, Honest answers.
1. No
2. Not sure what you mean. If there is to be a release (via POW anyway) the window is as long as the show.
3. Seconds. Seriously.
4. If you can basket a print, in an ideal situation you will have time to pay for it within ten/twenty minutes by credit/debit card
5. Register your email with picturesonwalls if it is a lottery. If there is a release at a venue it has been a bun-fight in the past - verging on a health risk
6. Don't get excited. It's a show that has been announced, not a print, ala Pet Shop.
Best of luck in getting a Banksy tho.

Is there a link to an old print release with how a potential print release would work with and without a lottery?
I registered my email on the POW site and haven't gotten any type of emails from them. Has anyone else, or have they been just not sending emails lately?
Thanks again for all the answers so far! Very curious about this whole process.
From past experiences with prints--I know hot releases sell out in seconds, and usually freezes my computer...but I'm still optimistic about this whole situation, haha.

Like if there's a release, would you get an email from POW saying so and so Bansky print will be available, and if so, does it say like "right now" or would it say on so-and-so day at so and so time?

Basically you have a slim to no chance just like everyone else.

How Does a Banksy Online Print Release Work?, by Jeezuz Jones Snr on Sept 24, 2013 22:40:50 GMT 1, Best thing is don't get excited, think you have no chance of getting one - then may get a lucky email and happy days!!
I have been trying since 2007 in lottos. For the donut release I got into the office and got the email got home from work my wife said she had an email also!!! Anyway I went to pay but used the same credit card  then had a massive email (argument) with Simon at POW for another week, well not serious but he implied we cheated somehow as 20k people applied an we manage to score 2?
I kept saying we didn't do anything wrong (it was luck) and I am rightly entitled to both prints but said I am not greedy and he said okay and asked me what flavour?, I said chocolate please . I was relived as I thought he wouldn't send any. Sorry that turned into a 'my donuts story'.
There may not be a print, no one knows? Hopefully there is a big show, but if there is why make it public? He kept the museum show tightly under wraps.. Well see

Depends if they go with the new "anti-flip" pricing tactic. Each new Banksy print could be £8000.
Anyway, what prints? It'll be a range of tote bags, and we'll love him/her for it.

How Does a Banksy Online Print Release Work?, by rioja on Sept 25, 2013 10:19:31 GMT 1, Getting a print in the basket didn't guarantee a purchase for me. After frantic F5ing I got a Morons in the basket - went to enter my payment details only to be told my basket was empty. Gutted. Same thing happened with a Paul Insect release. Emailed Dora with the sob story but, unsurprisingly during the mayhem, it fell on deaf ears.
PS. If you've got a mac download Firefox - it's F5 all the way (to an empty basket and heartbreak! Having said that, it did eventually bag me a Nola so perseverence can pay off).
