paulo999 Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Before around 2000, it used to be really easy to get a ticket for Glastonbury up to a week before. It's only recently that the festival sold out in a mater of hours. So last year was actually a move back to the norm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darrenbha Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Makes me reminisce about the days when i could walk into brighton peace centre, hand over £100 cash and i'd get my ticket and coach travel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

idealism Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 sorry if this has been mentioned before but iv only just paid my balance off so iv just seen this www.seetickets.com/g2009coaches to me that suggests that all 137k tickets are ticket only and you have the option of booking your coach ticket separate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrenbha Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 You could be right on the coaches thing tho it seems odd with the license conditions, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Androoo Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 The festival isn't an instant sell out this year because it's only January and most people haven't thought about what they're going to do in June 2009 yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Okky Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Do we think that if it were to use the same selling method as the past two years it would sell out instantly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eFestivals Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Do we think that if it were to use the same selling method as the past two years it would sell out instantly it would depend on what belief there was in the rumoured headliners at the time tickets went on sale. So if it was for this year, very definitely yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheesey Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Regarding the changing demand for tickets, I think there are a few factors involved: Firstly, the option of jumping the fence disappeared in 2002. Everyone who wants to go must now buy a ticket. This wasn't true at all pre-superfence. Secondly, Glastonbury used to be pretty much ignored by the mainstream until about ten years ago. Throughout the 00's it became incredibly cool to be able to say "I'm going to glasto", and ticket demand went through the roof. Last year that all changed, the media all suddenly started slagging the festival off and it suddenly became cool to say "Glasto has lost its mojo" => ticket demand has dropped again because people didn't want to appear uncool Thirdly, there are loads more festivals now than there were ten years ago, so there is a lot more choice. Do we think that if it were to use the same selling method as the past two years it would sell out instantly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eFestivals Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Who do you think this 4th headliner will be then? my best guess is Arctic Monkeys, tho it's just a guess. But my comment was based on the other three we know are headlining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harper11 Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 no matter waht they say the pyramid stage had 3 headliners co-headliners would mean they play at the same time which in my opinion would degrade the sound quality Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mardy Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 I dunno, I'm struggling to think of any big acts (UK or Amercan), I mean big enough to headline the pyramid, that I'd be interesting in seeing and I could only come up with a couple.

Mardy Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 dunno, good question Prince (but he'll never play) Maybe the Rolling Stones. Possibly, but I'm not that convinced The Faces (if they reformed) I really can't think of any stadium size bands that do it for me. I don't know, I'm going to go through my music tonight and ponder it a bit more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
