BANKSY Curated Show "Dismaland" in Weston-super-Mare, by Icesay on Sept 2, 2015 13:41:03 GMT 1, Both days ive been the people without tickets got in. Think it depends on the time slot you go for. At the 2pm timeslot people got in no problem at all.

BANKSY Curated Show "Dismaland" in Weston-super-Mare, by Dr Plip on Sept 2, 2015 14:52:45 GMT 1, Going back this weekend . Any tips on getting a prize on Duck In The Muck other than cheating. Persevere till she gets bored and hands you one anyway? Cheers I wound twirled my rod until the string was really short, giving you more control over the hook. But some people are now reporting that the staff are putting a stop to that.
Of course, this counts for nothing if the staff are batting your rod every 10 seconds or 90% of the ducks no longer have hooks in them.
Best of luck.
I've seen people flat-out ask for one, after they've spent a few quid trying to win them. It just depends on how the staff are feeling, how pouty you can be, and can you appeal to their better nature?
Mine was stepped on.

I am very tall with quite long arms so my strategy was to use the stick itself to manoeuvre the duck to the closest point possible to me (the pond is closest to the edge at the front of the stall). I then held onto the hook itself and leant over and hooked the duck directly. Worked and I got a fish finger - though I then left it in the gift shop - very sad ;-(

BANKSY Curated Show "Dismaland" in Weston-super-Mare, by rocker on Sept 2, 2015 15:21:07 GMT 1, Duck/muck - I wound the string around the rod, and got a duck, after several attempts before with the full length string. it was really windy that day, and impossible to play fair. I bought my tix off ebay while driving to the venue (pulled over mid-way) people will take low offers rather than nothing, if their tickets are going to expire.

You just reminded me, on one attempt, I picked up another rod while the guy had his back turned, then I tried to use the 2 rods like chopsticks, attempting to pick the duck up by its neck. I almost got away with it, but he turned round, saw what I was doing and foiled my scheme.
All good fun.
I think that's the key to the game. Have fun and don't take things personally.
Edit: Oh, and take a moment or two to think about mankind's pollution of the Earth's oceans and rivers, and how that affects the life that depends on those waters, as well as the depletion of fish stocks around the world, due to overfishing.

I was throwing Ping Pong balls that weren't even making it to the anvils. The wind was blowing them sharp right and towards innocent people. Not that they noticed.

BANKSY Curated Show "Dismaland" in Weston-super-Mare, by Acidburn on Sept 2, 2015 16:41:37 GMT 1, I really think you'll be ok waiting in the ticket queue the day of the show. Especially on Monday. All I have been reading here since online tickets were released is that it is hard to get in without tickets. You can gamble on it but personally I wouldn't, especially when you don't live anywhere near.. Just from experience, the purchase ticket line queue was just as big as the have a ticket queue and when I left the entire line with the exception of what looked like 5 people hadn't made it in.
I felt there had to be at least 700 ppl on our line and possibly even more on the other.
Besides the hard to get into posts, has there actually been everyone was turned away post? I would take that gamble. Its definitely worth that gamble. Had an amazing time and still thinking about it.

BANKSY Curated Show "Dismaland" in Weston-super-Mare, by dust909 on Sept 2, 2015 17:04:52 GMT 1, Got 2 tickets for Tues 15th - 2pm - Happy (dismal) days!!
So from what I can gather, it's a good idea to turn up at least an hour before the entry time and get in the queue?

Can send payment via Paypal.
Thanks! Steve

BANKSY Curated Show "Dismaland" in Weston-super-Mare, by coller on Sept 2, 2015 18:43:08 GMT 1, Looking for a ticket for September 8th at the 11am time slot - for my Mum! My parents tried this morning but they had no luck; I don't think quick-ticket-buying is an art that the older generations have mastered.
Ideally want to pay cost, willing to pay a premium. PM me!

Its funny nobody critized by the past people from Bristol buying 3 posters at the Anarchist section, and then selling them ( I know I bought one 280 quids lol - not funny anyway ) , on ebay, and here, " they " want to stop the Ebay second market.. Very antidismal dismal... Let the balloons fly, and people trying to catch one, this is not for kids anyway, this is contemporary art.
