Fair enough. As much as I hope there is some weight behind it I just can't see why they would leave it so late. Here's hoping though. Thanks for the info anyway.

Damn right. Cant bring myself to get worked up about this yet again. We've come to terms with none of the family being able to get tickets. If it happens (and it almost certainly wont) then great.

 

I know, this isnt the first time!

Yeah not saying you arent telling the truth @scorp. Its just that weve been burned before , even by someone who said they had strong info from someone working at SEE, gave us a date and rough time of a resale.

I've been holding onto this packet of straws for the last two weeks, a bit longer wont hurt.

Well and the other few weeks but the last two have definitely felt worse!

That was me - I've not spoken to them since.

I trust my mate so can only think that See keep it within a tight circle even internally.  Perhaps even give out mis-information to the minions (although I admit I don't know what the motive would be to do that).

Maybe a resale was envisaged but that the festival decided to give more locals away... or told see that they could have first dibs this year on account of number of refunds?

I don't know - but I now don't trust the guys at See one bit.

Hahah, forgot it was you. You stuck about anyway and proved not to be just trolling us so its all good. And like you said, who knows why they say the things they do at SEE. I'd personally like Glastonbury to move away from them and find a different ticket seller.

And he never got up on a Sunday morning to buy tickets because "you always get them". Proved him wrong this year 

My group of 6 is now down to 2 for that reason. If you don't want to wake up and turn on your phone, laptop or whatever. Then you don't want to go.

Other option is the efests meet on the Wednesday

I am happy to organise a thread or DM conversation - after Monday though, selfishly I'd actually like to know I can make it myself

My mate has just informed me I'm going to Kendal Calling. I've never been, I've just had a look at the lineup, it isn't very appealing to me. He wants £200 off me asap. But I'm not quite ready to give up here yet. I've got until Friday to swap my holidays. Really don't want to swerve him till Friday but can't afford to pay him then have some sort of resale, plus the bills I've got going out. Bloody hell!!!

[gibble]

If by some miracle tickets did go on sale today and I somehow was successful. How much would I need in my account to cover four? 

Chances of them going on sale and  me getting through and getting 4 are stupidly low, I know, but I'd like to know just in case...funds are a little low!

Re the meet.

I really would love to say hi in person to you but time is tight. I have a meet up with people elsewhere at around 3.30 Thursday and on my to see list is Mik Artisitc and out of all his sets there is only one I can make!!!

The Gateway Thursday at 2.30 - whether I actually get there is as always another matter!!

If there is a meet and if I can pop in quickly how do we recognise each other?

We'll be the ones looking stressed and flinching every time a mobile phone rings

I've been with efests since it started - with the original format of it, too, in those days.  Have never wound anybody up. Just found my pm on facebook to one of the two i was asked to get ticks for: JUN 1ST, 11:46AM : [Quote] Just got some good sense out of SEE! I phoned and was told to phone 1 week before the fest. They may have returns by then to sell BY PHONE or online. She said "we do have late cancellations". The number to call, then, is 0871 220 0260, for an update or to buy. [End of quote]. 

But to repeat: that number costs 13p a min and a few days ago i waited about 60 mins listening to music and auto messages  before getting through [after pressing 1 in the menu after calling, which i did the first time i called and got thru quickly then]

I went to Kendal last year - it was pretty good but clearly once you've been to Glasto everything else kinda sucks in a way.  I was annoyed that you can't take your own booze into the arena and ended up being quite expensive.  Would recommend it though.

I'm actually desperately trying to get a ticket this year.  My plan was to go if I didn't get glasto tix but it's now sold out.  As soon as they come on Twickets they're gone within seconds.

If you're mate wants rid, I will happily take of his hands provided not at an inflated price.  My two mates going to Glasto are wristbanding and have to work a sister festival - Kendal... so as it stands I'm not able to go to either with them.

PM me if your mate wants to sell - I'd really appreciate it.

p.s. like I said though... I'd recommend it to you

For me it rang, then automated message said not available at this time. Please call back later.... weird

[BigChief]

Is someone going to call and ask if there will be ticket sales at this stage?  I love this thread, everyone is nuts!!

[THEBOILERMAN]

for me it rang, recorded message giving options 1) make a booking  2) question regarding an existing booking. So I pressed 1 and got music on hold until operator available.

an alternative number is 0115 912 9105. probably cheaper or free if you're on a package that includes free calls.   i suggest you press option 6. i did and am currently listening to music...  zzzzz and still am. but having given up for my 2 friends, one of whom now says she's not impressed with the line up, the other is on honeymoon, i'm gonna hang up.

Hi mate, Kendal calling is my local festival and is a great one at that. Tickets aren't £200 though. It's £135 for a weekend with camping ticket. Also if money is tight now there are always tickets on these forums going spare nearer the time.

Thanks - think I'd have to whack it on a credit card then! 

I don't know why I'm putting so much thought in to this still to be honest

Can't pay for Glastonbury tickets on a credit card, debit cards only.
