How many tickets to go onsale in the resale?

[mike99]

efestivals you must have an approx number for the amount of tickets to be sold?. If not how many do you guys predict i predict around thirty thousand ish

[Sam.]

On what basis are you founding your prediction? Its sold out, returns will be made available. On that basis, far less than 30,000 unless there is a lot of people unhappy with Brucey being named, but that I doubt.

[mike99]

you take all things into consideration peoples might lose there jobs, just need the money, not like lineup, friends didnt get tickets, other plans. I would deffo put it around that possibly more. I might be wrong but money is tight for most people at the moment. I think it wont be as hard as everyone thinks to get a resale ticket. Feel free to disagree its just what i think. I would like to know what you guys think aswell

Total guess.. about 10k

30,000?? -

It won't be as many as 10,000, I'm almost certain.

I actually expect it to be fewer than 5,000.

[russycarps]

pure speculation of course but I'd guess 5,000 - 10,000 TOPS.

And the demand for these tickets will be absolutely immense now springsteen has been announced. His fan base is fanatical and people will be after tickets just for him alone.

I pity the fool who hasnt got a ticket as BA Baracas would say!

So whats going on with local tickets is that included?. we shall see i just feel that people will feel the crunch

there will be a batch of tickets put aside for those who register for the locals tickets. Any locals tickets that aren't taken up will be made generally available.

Other than that there's just the tickets that had the deposit paid but where the full amount wasn't paid by 1st Feb ..... now, while there's some rumours going around in some uninformed places that there were a lot of tickets that weren't settled, it's bull. The numbers were small.

As for people feeling the crunch, when more is being spent on the high street than ever despite this "financial crisis", it's insanely hopeful.

So does that mean that everyone who applies for a local ticket will get one and leftover for the public. So if thats true i would have a ticket no prolom?

I don't know how the locals ticketing works exactly - tho it would certainly be the case that they'll be a finite number of tickets, so from that, if the locals uptake is greater than it normally is then it's quite possible that some will lose out.

As for whether you'd get a ticket no problem, that's first dependant on whether or not you qualify for the locals tickets. Seeing as you don't seem to know anything about them, then I'd guess that you don't.

no way there will be 30,000 im guessing it will be 5000 but i have managed to get tickets in the resale before and it wasnt too bad, but it can be luck of the draw with glasto tix

[darrenbha]

I would have guessed at about 3-5000 as it would appear to be just cancellations, i wouldn't like to be trying for tickets come the 5th

[redmosquito]

I can't see there being that many and I don't think the crunch will have that much of an affect, people that really want to go will always find a way.

I paid for my tickets 3 hours after being made redundant for the second time in 6 months, I've been out of work for 2 months and one of the only things keeping me going is the thought of going to Glasto in a few months where I can leave everything at the gates and have an amazing weekend in the sun!!

I know a few other people who are going who have also lost their jobs but still can't wait to be there.

I think between 5,000-10,000 seems about right and I bet they will be snapped up.

nope; there were no coach-specific tickets last year either.

There is only a tiny number of tickets to be sold in April.

[mike99]

so its likely all tickets will be sold within under an hour you think?

[eFestivals]

so would you want me to post that information on here or just leave it for locals or tell u

if you were to post the info on here it'll get deleted.

I don't need to nor want to know about locals tickets. That's information only for locals, and there's well-established local channels via which they get that information.
