Tickets on sale Sunday 7 Oct

[smudger]

Not familiar with IE at all, and can only find the option to 'open new window', when clicking on house symbol in top left of screen. Where does 'file' icon sit?

Oh, dear, showing my computer ignorance, again.

My plan is to be on see tickets by quarter past 8 or earlier.

My philosophy is, the earlier I get on, the more of a chance I have and I will hopefully miss the rush.

Just means you'll have a different type of Glasto I'd say. Still will be well worth going to. Just a note that I believe some people get very young children headphones to shelter their ears from sounds which are too loud. Might be worth investing is some.

If you use windows 7 you might need to hit alt to find "File" or right click around the address bar and make sure menu bar is checked! (Also goes for Windows XP I believe to!). Also make sure your using IE 8/9

Ok, I just have a few quick questions regarding T Day because I'm from overseas and have never used See Tickets before.

Do we need to make an account on See Tickets to purchase tickets?

If there is a group of us booking tickets and 2 people manage to get through and try and book tickets for the whole group, is there a chance of double booking or is that not possible?

Would you recommend I try the International Tickets Phone Line as well, or is it not worth it? (I have heard conflicting stories about it)

Cheers in advance!

^^^This ^^^.

Try as many options but the internet is usually your best bet.

There are locals calling the International Ticket line too, so expect congestion either way.

Also remember that for international bookings you need a credit card, they don't accept debit cards (which is the opposite for local bookings.)

[01seb]

Thanks for the tips. Sounds all good.

Ahh, I only have a debit card. Is it ok to use my parents card (cause it doesn't have my name on it)?

Sorry if this has been answered, read the past 3 pages but couldn't find it. Whats the deal with IE9's new session feature? Is having a new session likely to give you some sort of advantage?

For what it's worth for the people who are worried; if you want to go enough, chances are you will succeed eventually, even if it is through re-sales (I know 5 people who managed to get tickets that way before, a lot easier than through general sales as well!)

I hope SeeTickets have got their act together this year. Last two times were poor. Need more servers, more support. They know Glastonbury is chaos.

Good luck everyone!

Nah, they don't need more servers.

If they had all the servers to cope with all the demand at 9am on T-day, then anyone who was a second late trying to get their tickets would fail to get their tickets, while all those who perhaps don't much care about going (but who tried in the right second) would get tickets with ease.

Doing things that way strikes me as too much of a lottery for who gets tickets. By having a little difficulty in getting tickets it means that the most determined are the most likely to be successful - and I think that's a good thing. It gives a greater chance of going to those who *really* want to go, while not making it any sort of exclusive club which keeps out people who might be attending for the first time.

I'd say that the balance with the time it's taken for the tickets to be sold for the last few ticket sales has been about right, where it's not dead easy but it's also not a marathon.

I've been putting off watching this for a while now but finally had the time to sit down without distraction to take it all in.

It's made me even more worried for T Day now :-(

Edit: Could anyone please tell me the song being played at 36:40? Is it Nortec Collective?

I don't know if this has been asked before but when buying the tickets the card that us used to pay for the booking will that person who booked them have to pay for all the tickets in April or is that payment paid by using your registration number and your own card?

[Paul ™]

Yeah payments to clear the balance can be done individually with your registration details and debit card.

[coma girl]

Thanks i had never even though about it before until a friend had said to me. It was one of those things that slipped my mind but i had a feeling you would just pay off the rest on your own.

[JamesT977]

Don't you then have to pay several lots of postage? Last year everyone gave me their money and I paid off the balance on my card, I seem to remember that was partly to avoid us all paying postage

[Paul ™]

Yeah you would pay postage on all completed orders if done individually.

[Leggins]

I'm not entirely sure this will be my first time so i don't know much about it. But it would make sense to avoid the postage costs if possible.

Can anyone else say much more about this?
