Morning all,

Long time member but mostly lurker here!

Under 48 hours to go and I'm getting very nervous - failed in the general sale for the first time ever (been to every Glasto since 2005) and never got past the holding page yesterday. Beginning to think it's just not my year, but utterly devastated at the prospect of not being there!!!

I'll be online at 9am manically trying the laptop and the iphone, but If any of you kind folk would be willing to try and help me out it would be so so appreciated:

Call 07725 331467 for card details

Thank you so much!!!

The o2. Such a perfect place to set off from when heading for the South West.....

I live near the O2 and it's not as bad as you think - really quick and easy to get to the M25 from there. Better than crawling through traffic trying to get out of Central London from Victoria or Embankment. Plus the huge car park SHOULD make it easier to organise the amount of caoches coming and going.

Well what an evening of an emotional rollercoaster.

Had spent the day checking links, rounding up friends, swapping our postcodes, discussing incognito windows and US VPN's and with work starting at 7 the day quickly ran into a frenzied panic as 6pm approached.

We mostly used the links posted here and some used the front door from various locations throughout Ireland and the UK and Australia. I used a single incognito google tab on my laptop and a google tab on my phone on 4g but nothing more than the holding page appeared.

One of my friends called me at 6.15 for my card details and just as my despair was setting in - bang - the payment went through. Sheer elation - Bath 10am Wednesday Morning - he had already got 2 for my other friends from Bristol on Thursday.

Off to work happy and now that I'm home have just used the Trainline to get a ticket to Bath on the Tuesday night and Booking.com to get a cheap hotel room, Its a new venture this year as my last 3 Glasto's were done by car from Central Ireland. I boked a return flight to Birmingham from Dublin last November never fully expecting to ever use it but it has come in handy now as I got it very cheap at the time.

So please do not despair, I never ever expected to be going this year and tonight I'm just unbelievably grateful to my friend and feel so privileged. I will try to help on Sunday morning if anyone needs help feel free to PM me Reg Numbers Postcodes & Telephone numbers.

Yep please don't despair...EVERYONE is going to get through.....oh... :fie:

Took my mate hours to get across London two years ago. Arrived four hours late (bus turned up late for half of that delay though!)

another question for those who got through last night, did you need your secure card password or did just the number/expiry/number on back suffice?

I didn't join the sale (nor any resales), but I've never been asked for any online security password for previous main sales, when I've used my Visa debit card, it's just gone through.

i think im already annoying people in work talking about it. Of the ticketless lot, what are you doing tomorrow to keep your mind off it? I'm going to everton so a few lunchtime beers and lunch with my dad (while likely repeating my explanation of what he has to do sunday morning when he's helping us over and over again!) followed by an utterly turgid game of football as they all have been this season

If Turgid football is your bag, youd be welcome to come to Ewood Park with me tomorrow - I cant even give away a spare season ticket!!!

I can help Sunday if anyone wants to Pm me their details I will try in order of receiving them (assuming I get through at all).

EDIT: Loads of PM's received, no point sending me more I'll never get through them. I'll do my best to those I have replied too.

My mate got his girlfriend a ticket but accidentally clicked the child 13-15 option. This is after getting everybody in our group a ticket in the original sale (inc. people he doesn't really know) but forgetting his girlfriends!

The child ticket was the same price as the adult and I have found a thread from last year where the same thing happened to a few people and all of them seemed to resolve it by calling See tickets and getting them swapped. He seems remarkably laid back about the situation but I have told him to call See asap!

Definitely agree with this - think there were about 15 coaches setting off every hour last year which wouldn't be possible in Victoria or central London. Last year was a breeze getting out on to the motorway - plus plenty of places to get some brekkie before the coach!

* although i am probably biased coming in from east London!

I got tickets from Reading this year in the resale (I haven't been in 3 years but was there for the previous 9) as that was all that was available for me. Anyone know where the reading pick up point is?

Lucky for me I live SW London and train to reading is direct form the station by my house and will take jsut as much time for me to get there (if not quicker) than going to Greenwich
