When does the pre sale stop?

[ThomThomDrum]

I think I read somewhere tickets will be on sale for a week and if not sold out the remainder and any cancelations (why would you?) go on sale in April. Can anyone confirm this with actual timelines??

Iam glad you started this thread as I too was wondering that, a friend of mine did not register in time, would she would be able to register now and buy a ticket now?? thanks

You have until March 31st 2009 to register, and the tickets are on sale until for a week according to many reports!

"Please note registration will be temporarily suspended for consolidation before and during the main ticket sales periods: from 5pm 4th October to 9am 6th October 2008, and again from 5pm 31st March to 9am 6th April 2009." (concerning registration)

I don't think that there is any 'official' answer on sales TBH, "until the allocation is sold" and "for one week" have both appeared in various news reports recently. If you definitely want to buy then I would suggest doing so by this weekend just in case because April is looooong way away and there will no doubt be line-up announcements various in the meantime. Registration will be available continuously now (apart from a few days around the next planed sale date in April), it's just the ability to purchase tix almost immediately that will probably come to end sometime soon(ish) I expect.

Well ... they're still on sale and showing on the See Home Page so the "on sale for a week" quote was either complete rubbish or someone at GFL just being a tad optimistic that whatever the allocation actually is, they would all sell in a week ! The news report on the Official Site (originally released on 6th October) has been sneakily modified today but I can't actually see any new information as such, just a bit of re-wording here and there that's all. The relevant bit still seems to be:

There are still some advance tickets available but they’re selling well. After this first round of sales, the remainder of tickets will be offered on the 5th April 2009.

latest word on what Glasto is doing with the ticket sale is .... they're going to suck it and see.

They are fully committed to keeping a number of tickets back for a sale in April.

The current sale of tickets as yet doesn't have an end-date. Currently, a number of tickets are being sold each day, and over half* have been sold. If/when tickets stop being bought it's likely that they'll be taken off-sale with whatever number of tickets are left being held back for the sale in April.

(* I'm not clear on whether this "half" is half of all available tickets or only half of whatever number of tickets they made available from 5th Oct).

So if you want to take advantage of the current sale, the eFestivals advice is that you don't hang about.

Find a thread with the 0115 number and give that a try, I spent the best part of an hour and a half trying to do it online (on the 5th) but got through on the phone easily enough and did it that way. Just remember and ask them to send you a confirmation email.

So one can still register and buy tickets today Oct 20th over 2 weeks after the inital sale..............Well if I hear anyone complaining in April that they could not get a ticket and that they are pissed off I will laugh at them! There is no excuse for people not having a ticket........If you put £50 down you only run the risk of loosing £10 if you change your mind between now and Feb..........
