Glastonbury local Sunday tickets onsale when?

[mike99]

Anyone know when the Sunday tickets for locals go onsale?

[parsonjack]

Nothing in local press yet....but usually in next few weeks.

[mike99]

It was normally round this time seems a bit late?

[parsonjack]

Just checking and last year they went on sale on Thursday October 23rd....so I'd expect an announcement in the press this week.

Somerset Guardian out tomorrow so possibly be something in there Mike 

[guypjfreak]

wasnt there an issue last year cos Mr E cut down the amount of locals that could go ??

[Smeble]

Only special locals get them anyway, lots of politics involved.

[wobble]

They should cut back or learn not to clog up the Pyramid stage.

On Sunday's you can’t move for chairs and blankets, very dangerous.

Not true.

Maybe a touch of envy there?

cos it's only the locals innit.......

[JoeyT]

It's done by ballot system so hardly only special locals!

Pick them up from here next Monday...

Locals don't get any more special than Mike....

just out of interest how many local sunday tickets are there and how close do you have to live to the farm to be in with a chance ( not that i am anywhere near Pilton, I am nearer to 'Royston Vasey' than Pilton )

[Smeble]

My special remark was aimed at the fact that we don't qualify despite being closer than some that do, politics involved in deciding who classes as a local.

i don't actually class myself as local enough but it's galling that others that live further away are classed as local.

i dont lose sleep over it though

[tigertoo]

sorry if my question has further roused the hornet nest, I was genuinely interested.

I'll get my coat

Interesting....whereabouts you live....Yeovil itself would be way further than any Sunday catchment I'm aware of.

Reasonable question...I think Smeble's response is more to do with not being local enough when others are rather than the whole 'locals privilege' thing.

Anyway...as far as I know there are about 5000 Sunday tickets in the ballot, which is open to towns and villages within a roughly 10 mile radius of the site.

thanks parsonjack I have always wondered about the arrangement with sunday tickets.

no problem.  We did just Sunday in 2010....it was far more knackering than spending a whole 5 days there!

[Nice hymer]

Midsomer Norton and I think Frome are eligible for Sunday tickets, but Yeovil ??? Come on, that's miles further !!

Frome is for sure....Yeovil is way too far away but I think Smeble may be suggesting that although it is there are other places similarly distant but somehow included for local tickets....although I don't know where myself.

Local tickets available from Monday Noon, not sure if they are just the Sunday though?
