All pre-orders are automatically entered. 

If you already have a ticket and were to win the competition, you have to cancel your existing booking to claim the prize.

Surely you just don't pay your balance?

It's bad I know the terms and conditions isn't it!? And only 24 hours to claim the prize if successful too. I imagine not paying your balance has the same effect though. Still a cancellation.

And the first ticket has to be in the cardholder who paid for the order name.

A quick flick through, it is brilliant. A chronological history. Posters, pictures.

There is my reading for the next few days. Love it

I'm hoping for the final couple of pages to be like sticker albums where you can past in the headliners yourself.

Actually, a Glastonbury sticker album... get me Panini on line 1!!

Or the old Shoot league ladders they use to do from headliner down to first on!

So if there’s an existing ticket holder who wins then does his\her tickets go into a secret resale?

Just the normal resale I'd imagine

Used to love those things! Except when you inevitably forgot to buy it one week and end up missing all the teams between M and R.

I preordered mine from Waterstones and it still says processing, those who have theirs did you pay for next day delivery?

Same here - ordered on 5th June and a signed one! Also realised the card details I gave, is a card that I had replaced as it was faulty - eek!

Got my despatch email this morning but the Royal Mail tracker says it isn’t coming till tomorrow, when nobody’s in.

I ordered mine to be delivered to store, ordered within the first 20 mins of when it was announced. I always order things to store when I can as you often get things early.

"often" might be an overstatement - but you never get things late, sometimes early. Happened with a few things I have ordered - like today!

I think you might need to go into hiding

I had the dispatch email this afternoon and when I checked the tracker it was received by the Royal Mail distribution centre in Yorkshire at 3:47am today. So no idea where they were being sent from! 
 

It says 48 hours but I’m hopeful I’ll get it tomorrow.
