This year, it didn't sell out (though I think it came pretty close), so you could buy tickets up until the last minute.   That was extremely unusual - previous years you'd be looking at a sell out around March-ish.   This years festival was very well received, and it appears tickets for next year are selling well, so I'd expect that going back to sold out around March is fairly likely..

Yeah, I doubt they’ll be bothered anyway and probably thousands more that weren’t shared publicly.  But ultimately, using Bots to generate the URL, normal Joe Public have little to no chance. 

5 of us with no joy.   Obviously wanted to go but not much I can do about it. I am lucky to have been very one since 2010. Mrs Fay even won tickets one year.    The last three years our gang of five we have had brilliant festivals.    Might well just pick another one closer to home and we can plan and get excited about it. We have realised that whilst Glastonbury is f**king great a lot of our fun if often just sitting off at bars and having a laugh by the tent. Something you can do anywhere. We have also started enjoyed the smaller stages with more fun new acts to discover.    I am not sure I can be arsed looking at two bars again twice in April.    I will miss the excitement of announcements and being underwhelmed when the poster comes out ha ha. Creating a clash finder that I never stick to.   So there is a tinge of sadness this afternoon but also thinking how lucky I am to have the many memories of Glastonbury past.   That walk from the car nearly killed us last year and we were thinking of glamping this year if we were lucky. I am 51 now and that car walk is ruthless despite me being fitter than I have ever been.    Oh and the car journey home on Monday is something I wont miss, driving or not driving.    So overall yeah I am at peace with it. The festival has changed since I started going in 2010 but is still a wonderful place with many wonderful people.    To those of you who have tickets and especially the first timers enjoy every moment as you never know when it will be your last festival. 

You might live in some hope that the festival will see that list and be able to track those who used the links and cancel their tickets.   but I doubt it.

Where are the best places to stay for Sziget?
