Secret resales 2015

[Shangri_Lard]

Is there a counselling forum for the steam-train of harsh reality that's hurtling towards my prostrate body, crudley bound to the trembling, burning tracks below?

 

But hey, 20mins to EE's RT. We can do this.

Can't we?

Hey guys,

Looks like i'm finally going to Glasto. Got offered tickets that are gonna cost me about a grand for the pair but at this stage I can't say no.

I won't believe it until they are in my hand but i've used this person previous years so I know it's genuine.

Just want to say i've really enjoyed reading through the comments on this forum and I sincerely wish you all the best  of luck and that a re-sale does happen. 

All fingers and toes are crossed guys, 

 

If they can get one more at that price I'd love you forever

All issued tickets are valid if they're in the hand of the person who's photo is on them.

There's no mechanism by which an issued ticket can be revoked - no barcodes or other auditing, so the only scanning is of the security features & photo.

They could have a list of banned people and those working the gates need to look out for those suspects

That doesn't happen, and even if they somehow tried to do so it wouldn't be in any way workable.

The people on the gates have too much to remember already, with the multiple different ticket types and wristbands that they'll see. It's not realistic to give them yet another thing to do.

Those working the gates are volunteers, most with very little experience in this sort of thing. It's a bit much to expect this from them.

I guess not but there are security and police around the entrances..... they are trained to do that sort of thing

Are you suggesting the festival have security around the entrances prepared to take those away who've been given a free ticket by the festival despite cancelling?

Right.. it's 11.50 GMT.. Just ten mins until...!!!!!!!

 

I go to the pub....

Both of the above do already have their own jobs to do as well (and the Police are not answerable to the Festival anyway).

It's all a bit much to try and catch out a handful of people who've had tickets issued to them in error.

As far as I'm concerned, if you get a refund but See send you a ticket anyway, then go for it. I'd love a bit of luck like that.

bet you all had a massive heart attack just there with Glasto starting a tweet 'A very limited quantity...'

No but if for some reason you've been flagged by the festival for doing something illegal, like selling fake tickets or you're a wanted drug dealers I'm sure they would try.

I think those having tickets issued in error would just walk in without any issues so long as didn't panic or look too suspicious on entry

[Robinn]

Nice, I do still want that album on vinyl!

[Beaver89]

I've actually just bought the album on vinyl. Partly as I wanted it on RSD and didn't find it. Partly to offset Glasto Karma for not buying last year. My superstition is getting the better of me for not buying a t-shirt last year either (just forgot). Now come-on GET ME A TICKET THIS YEAR! I'M SORRY!

I'm a rational scientific person most of the time....

If the photo matches, then it wouldn't matter if they look panicked - and at least half the people going through the gates look "suspicious".

The gate staff are trained/instructed to look at only 3 things - is the ticket/wristband/passout being checked genuine, is it valid for that gate/lane, and does the photo on the ticket match the person. And as I said before - given the number of variations possible within that (there's at least 6 different ticket types and 10+ different wristbands), they've already too much to remember / think about.

Every year I do my best not to look 'suspicious' - my ticket photo is beardless, I always beg them to 'look at my eyebrows, for the love of god'... I find looking absolutely knackered helps. And I always am, the sackbarrow full of cider helps with this
