I see discussions about getting through to the stage of entering the details, but I believe the real issue starts after reaching this point. Now, I actually have something in writing from the festival to support this.
I've always thought that the frustrating process after getting through to the registration details entry was down to See Tickets. This part of the process feels completely - lets just call it uncompassionate, and I struggled to believe that the festival itself could be behind such a thing.
That changed during the last ticket sale in April. After going back and forth with See Tickets with no helpful answers, I decided to reach out to Glastonbury directly. This is the response I received from the festival.
It seems that when demand is high, fairness and compassion fall by the wayside. If you don’t get everything perfect on your end, you’re quickly dropped for the next person in line. It makes sense now why Glastonbury has stuck with See Tickets for this long.
While you’ll hear a lot about compassion being a core part of the festival’s values, seems like it doesn’t extend to the ticketing experience.
Make sure you have everything exactly right.
Don’t recall anything about the Dirty Projectors guy, unless I missed something. I know his girlfriend was originally in the band and she left when they broke up, but think that was quite a few years after 2010.
