How to get All Points East tickets with your group

All Points East turns Victoria Park into a 50,000-a-day headline series across two August weekends. The 2026 run is the strongest yet: Jorja Smith and Tems co-headline the opening Friday, Lorde takes the Saturday, the Outbreak Fest takeover brings Deftones, IDLES and Amyl and the Sniffers to the Sunday, then Tyler, The Creator plays two nights and Twenty One Pilots closes with a UK exclusive. Between the weekends, In The Neighbourhood opens the site free to everyone - cinema, DJs and workshops on the same lawns, no ticket needed.

The format is pure city festival: gates in the early afternoon, headliners done by eleven, Mile End and Bethnal Green stations a ten-minute walk, and your own bed at midnight. Every day is a separate show with separate tickets - which is exactly what makes the buying picture worth a guide.

APE difficulty is day-shaped. As of late July, Lorde's Saturday is completely sold out with an official waitlist as the only route back. Twenty One Pilots is running low with most premium tiers gone. Meanwhile Tyler, The Creator's two nights remain fully open at 89.95 GBP a day (or a 159.90 two-day bundle), the Outbreak day is the value pick at 64.95 GBP, and the opening Friday sits in between. Prices tier upward by release - the official line is that later releases cost more for the same ticket - so every lingering day gets dearer as it fills.

The seller stack is AXS-first (with Ticketmaster and DICE as the other authorised agents), and each headliner announcement historically runs an Amex presale, an APE signup presale, then general sale within days. All 2026 presales are past; what remains is general-sale stock, the ladder, and the waitlist.

• Every day is a separate sale with separate stock: the group must decide day-by-day, not once.
• Sold-out days have exactly one honest route: the official waitlist - unofficial listings risk refusal at an app-gated door.
• Prices step upward by release on the days still selling, so hesitation has a real cost.
• Premium and accessible tiers vanish first everywhere - pit, viewing platforms and Primary Entry go before GA.

APE runs a product most festivals never offer: Team Tickets, discounted GA for groups who buy together in one order - on the opening Friday they cut the per-head price from 74.95 to 44.95 GBP, a saving of about forty percent. Allocations and group sizes vary by day (check the live listing for the days that still offer them), but the principle is the point: the festival has productised the group buy, and a crew that organises before checkout pays materially less than six friends buying alone.

The app rules shape the rest. Tickets are digital-only in the APE app with QR codes that refresh every 59 seconds - screenshots do not scan - and transfers to other AXS accounts only open 30 days before the event and cannot be undone. Practically: the buyer holds everyone's tickets until late July, then transfers deliberately, once, to the right people.

The APE method is a grid, not a queue: who wants which of the six days, at what ceiling, with which tier. One buyer per day takes the group through in a single order - grabbing Team Tickets where the day offers them - and the sold-out-day hopefuls join the waitlist with their own accounts rather than watching someone else's.

A month out, the picture is simple: two Tyler nights and the Outbreak day are open, Twenty One Pilots is a move-now day, Lorde is waitlist-only. After the buy, logistics amount to gate times (14:00 GA, an hour earlier for Primary Entry), a hard 20:30 last entry, no re-admission, an A4 bag limit and the Tube surge at close.

The point of a per-day festival is choosing your perfect day and owning it: the right crew, the right headliner, golden hour in an East London park. The admin is one shared grid and one organised order per day - cheaper, calmer and done weeks before the barriers go up.

None of this is touting or gaming anything. The Team discount is the festival's own product, the waitlist is the official route back into sold-out days, and the ladder is public. The difference is a group that filled in the matrix before the prices moved.

TicketSquad gives an APE crew one home for the grid this series demands: who is in for which days, ceilings per day and tier, AXS account emails, buyer assignments, Team Ticket opportunities, waitlist status on the sold-out days and the transfer plan when the thirty-day window opens.

For a festival that is really six sales wearing one name, the shared plan is the difference between the discount and the ladder.
