Is the +1 ticket code just a thing for the pre-sale do we think? In the unlikely case I get lucky tomorrow will I just be able to log in and buy 2 tickets the standard way.

Isn't the +1 to do with the fact they need to know people's details to send PCR tests etc. I may be horribly wrong on this but I assume that's what it's for?

I used different ticketmaster accounts but same billing address and card but just changed the name on the billing address. My tickets are fine 🙂 Think it's all to do with the accounts and names on the billing address with the cancellation as each ticket needs to be assigned to a different person due to it being a pilot and for testing etc.

Just hope I get some on Thursday!

Is the pre-sale link no longer working that was being passed around yesterday?

Think it clocks on that you don't have a DL 22 ticket when you log in, plus not really fair on those who have DL tickets so i'll wait till tomorrow!

My friend bought 4 tickets on his account originally for 2022 (or 2021 back then) and he gave a link to all of us for the pilot. So I had to use my own ticketmaster account. Guess if they're checking the only thing they can cross ref is the actual name.

Regardless, very refreshing of you to say you're willing to wait... respect! 🤜🤛

When are we supposed to take our covid tests?

Good luck with it, though - the philosophy I always take with things like this and Glastonbury tickets is "someone's going to get in, so I might as well make sure it's me" which generally works out well. Could always practice to get the clicks needed down to an art-form - just don't accidentally sign up for Reading in the process.

Didn't get a place. Pretty much like you said. 

Logged on, nothing showing, refreshed, all gone. 

Ah well. Like I said, not really my music anyway. Still wanted to go though

That's a shame. Apparently there were only about 40 places, so I suspect they could have filled them 3+ times over.

if it's anything like the other pilots, 48 hours beforehand

Any solo groups for this? I know it's small so chances are slim but i'm facing the prospect of going alone if i can get a ticket tomorrow and i'm gonna go for it regardless because i need a festival in my life.

Lets meet up and watch a band if we're successful! I've done Glastonbury solo a few times but not really alone since i joined one of the solo groups. Good luck today!

A festival. In two fucking weeks. I can't believe it.

[jammy2211]

Yeeeeeeeeeeeees

[Stringebean]

Can't believe how easy that was and that I'm going to be at a festival in 2 weeks!!! 😄

[iistroudley]

Assume anyone from the Tuesday can answer this, does the link for the +1 come through a seperate email (not the confirmation email) cause I can't find it anywhere! 

[jammy2211]

Me and my mate couldnt hit the +1 button and it said 1 ticket maximum reached. Looked to me like its 1 ticket per person.

I’ve got a +1 ticket confirmed. I’ve got the email.

[pwalton89]

I cant quite believe how simple that was, Im going alone if any solo goers do fancy a beer at some point over the weekend. Cant get my head round its actually happening!

Fair enough, must of been something about our link. Its all confirmed now anyway so let the planning begin!

The page defaulted to single ticket. You needed to remove the single ticket and then add single + invite code. That's how it was for me anyway. Wouldn't let me click +1 until i'd done that.

Waiting for mine now. Sure it'll come but with people on twitter saying they never received theirs i'm so anxious!

[Hawky]

Well done, all. 

 

If you got +1 you should receive an SMS / EMAIL in an hour which you will have to share with your friend. DO NOT book it on their behalf using your account.
