do you think i could ring them and they could do anything about it?

i really can't go on my own and i'm so upset

[FunkyDenz]

There are lots of people going on their own.

A lot of the E-Festival people are camping in in Pennards Hill. /index.php?showtopic=111372&st=0&start=0"> Info

If you are worried, develop friendships with people online first.

I think if you don't go you'll only regret it. If your sis remotely like your mate it might work.

I'll bet if you end up going alone you'll make friends and still have a wicked time. Lots of people go alone every year so you won't be the only one.

[krisskross]

im sure if you contact someone to do with the festival, something can be arranged to let your sis use the ticket - even if you just turn up on the day and walk in with it

[Runner]

/\ what they said ....

Get onto the thread, talk to the folk who are camping there, get your name down and also head straight to the footie match on Wednesday.

You'll regret it like mad if you don't go, and there are so many people in the same boat as you x

You'll be fine x

[ThomThomDrum]

I defo think someone else will get away with using your mates ticket! Try it for sure!

[shiveringsky]

That's gutting, your poor mate!

I think you should still go. There's so many nice people on this forum alone, who are more than happy to meet a new person. Glastonbury is such a beautiful place and the experience is one you'll remember forever. I've not met any of them, yet, but I'm really looking forward to meeting up and I'm so shy I make Morrissey look like Lady GaGa. Come along! You won't regret it.

Get your sister to go - put her hair back, wear a hat or whatever. They don't check the pic that thoroughly, especially at busy times. Get your mate to give her another piece of ID as back-up. You have to go now you have your ticket. Be brave & good luck! x

Try getting in touch with Glastonbury office itself.

In 2007 I had coach tickets with my missus, and we had to leave Brighton on the Wednesday coach. However, we found out she was pregnant after getting the tickets, and for some reason to do with this (I can't remember what) she needed to come down later on. The only thing was our tickets were getting handed out on the coach.

We rang Seetickets to see if we could get her ticket in advance, but they were a bunch of cocks as usual.

However there was a lovely lady at Glasto Festival office who helped us out, and got it sorted. My missus came down on the Friday. Perhaps if you can give them proof of your friend's operation they can change the ticket......

Festival Office

Glastonbury Festival's public office deals with everything from trading and commercial opportunities, to student research and public enquiries.

Manager: Dick Vernon

Glastonbury Festival Office

The ironic thing was when I got on the coach with my friends in Brighton, the coach driver gave someone his ticket who couldn't travel that day, and subsequently went off to find his own way to the festival.

[the~dude]

yer go it alone, i prefer doing it that way as you meet loads more people and have a great time :-)

[LusciousLucy]

What does your friend have to say with this? Is/would she be happy if you went without her? Of course, she unfortunately is in no position to attend poor thing but if she is sad that you are considering not going because of her...then definitly think about attending without her (if that is coming across all confused...I think I know what I am getting at!) There is a lot of talk about peeps trying to get in hopefully...I hope they are not super tight with the face checking for everyone's sake.

And here's a suggestion...make up a HUGE banner to hold aloft when in the crowd of a band she would have gone to see with 'GET WELL SOON...WE MISS YOU VERY MUCH' and then tell her to tune into the Beeb...if she can face it!

All of Efests wishes her very well and good luck with the op by the way.

And as the poster above says...maybe get chum to dig out a birth certificate or something to help with your sis' possible entry.

GOOD LUCK and YOU make the right decision for yourself.

Just get your sister to go with your mates ticket - you will be fine.

[Elstra]

thankyou for all you're kind replys, i'm really mizzed on what to do!

it's such a shame on timing, but it can't be helped

my sister has emailed them and is going to ring them when she gets home from work, it may just be that she'll have to try and pass it off if they refuse

[Elstra]

there's something on the website saying about insurance on ticket, so i text my friend and she said she didn't think we even got the option to do that

garrrrrrrr

I'd of thought they'd been some back up for situations like this

[krisskross]

insurance is more to do with claiming your money back if you cant go

[mouth]

like people have said, chance it with your sis, tell the gate staff your story if they ask, im sure they'll have a heart

[Messy]

sorry to hear that! don't stress! loads of people going on their own, ,come aong to the football game on wednesday or one of the meets and we'll look out for you!

[mouikey]

Dick (from the Glasto office) is a pretty reasonable chap. I would recommend phoning them ASAP to see if they can help, make sure you have proof of the operation and maybe something from the Dr to say she can't attend because of her medical problem. The worst thing that can happen is that they say they can't help and even then you haven't lost anything (from the situation you are currently in).

However, lots of people go on their own and have a fab time be brave and DO IT!!!

[bigtitt]

I do sympathise with your plight but If you think about it what actually could go wrong?

If you break it right down and even write down all the things that you are worried about, you might just see them dissipate all together.

We are all a friendly bunch after all.

[Balumba]

I'm 17 and going alone! Really sorry to hear about your mate, though. Hope you find some sort of solution

[Thatmax]

I would definitely go on my own if need be. Festival atmospheres are about the only time when I can comfortably just start chatting to strangers for no apparent reason.

[Elstra]

in regards to go on my own, i wouldn't even be able to get there- the plan was for my friend to drive, i have no car

no news from my sister yet

worse for my friend, so just got to wait and see what's happens and if my sister would be happy going and chancing it- worth a try

[krisskross]

look at train tickets pronto!
