Accommodation Resale Friday - Secret Resale?

[Hugh Jass II]

There's an accommodation re-resale on Friday at noon.

Might be worth keeping an eye on the site a couple of hours earlier in case they put any cancelled tickets up too,

They’ve just said Campervan passes included on an Instagram post.

If there are loads of them after the amount I’ve paid for a Sticklinch tent I might have a little cry

Will keep an eye out

Wonder if they might sneak a few tickets out as well.

Definitely worth keeping an eye on before and after

Thing is, it'll be difficult to tell if they do - they ticket page is still up here for "whitelisted" (mostly Friends and Family) registrations - so while I wouldn't rule out them opening it up wider it'll be found by people randomly trying their details and finding they now work rather than a page suddenly going live.

If anyone's going to spot it and let people know, it's these forums

Oh for sure - though what I guess I'm suggesting is that if anyone's still without  ticket - keep trying the page rather than wait. Those seconds could make all the difference.

2 people I know cancelled their tickets few days ago, due to work issues. Could be worth keeping an eye out.

2 of our group also back in the hat 😞

Are we expecting any tipis in this resale?

4 of our group had to return theirs!

Would be fascinated to know how close to capacity they actually get each year. It won't actually be 235,000 people as there will be no shows every year. But when is it enough to trigger a secret sale?

If money is tight then every sale helps.

Isn’t there always stories of bands returning tickets after not taking up their allocation?

I wonder if they go conservative on the capacity numbers and try to reshare those returnees out if they have time knowing some capacity goes unused, or whether they take more risk and bank on tickets being returned to hit capacity (less likely I'd say as that's could be dangerous).

Overall capacity won't be a trigger (and overall capacity is 210k). They're limited by the number of each type of ticket.

Specifically - public tickets are limited to 142k weekend tickets, of which I think at minimum 22k are required to be sold as coach packages - they'll want to sell all of those as that's the primary income stream. If they can't sell any returns via the Friends and Family scheme, that's the point we potentially see a secret resale.

Beyond that, if acts or media or whoever return their complimentary tickets tickets then those cannot be converted to general public tickets so won't factor on any resale.

I wonder how much busier the site will feel with the extra people, you notice it on the Sunday with the 5k

[a6l6e6x]

See you at 8am tomorrow? 

[leath02]

Personally I feel like afterwards is more likely  -  secret coach resale was after the general resale

But 100% worth checking throughout the day

[buddiepaul]

Bath & West Caravan available a few seconds ago

[buddiepaul]

Loads of Sticklinch and a few Worthy View available too

[Skelts]

No sign of a secret resale though, I've been trying the site on & off since 9am today

[al_coholic]

Still campervans. big surprise

[hurdy]

East tickets reappeared around 1207 - you had seven minutes to check out so presumably its people who didn't manage to process their order in time

[clarkete]

It was possible to duplicate CV orders, so there will likely be very small quantity at some point perhaps.
