Yeah, two weeks for the average person who isn't so aware of the pattern of ticket day... Glasto might just like having a three week break between the announcement and the actual sale.

No idea how many extra staff SeeT need to have in on the Thurs/Sun for coach and main sale tickets though. I wouldn't have thought it'd be that many. It's all done on servers, isn't it!?*

*this coming from a total non-tech buff.

personally i'd love a delay as Iam on holiday and it would mean I wont have to get up at 2am ish

Tbh, I wouldn't mind it either. I start a holiday on Oct 9th, but that ends on Oct 14th. I'd be as free as a fucking bird on the 16th though 😁

Yea but then server will need to be monitored, so they will have extra support availability, etc.

also evenings and weekends are normal time for system changes/patches, so a change freeze might need to be implemented.

In 2019 registration closed on the 23rd September at 5pm...if that means anything

A few of our group are looking to try for Campervan passes for next year. Do these usually go on sale before or after the main tickets or at the same time?

a few weeks after, you need a glastonbury ticket to then be able to purchase a cv ticket

If you say Michael's name 3 times in a mirror with a growler in your mouth and a candle powered steam boat in your bath, he'll appear behind you and grant you a VIP ticket.

I wouldn't be at all surprised to see at least a 10% increase, surely over the £300 mark, anyway. I think your prediction is about right. Still great value at that figure, but it's going to stretch some people, particularly families. 

But then what happens in 2024 when its £20 more again. We've talked about people's budgetary limits, and that reality is going to hit very hard the next couple of years. Plenty of talk that just £300 was too much for some. So either you dont do anything else and just go to this or you dont go to this and do lots of other stuff. Families would likely want to do more than one outing per year I figure.

Big risk IMO.

What if it's a wash out?

What if, for whatever reason, you have a bad one?

Well apparently you cant have a bad one according to some folk. I mean if you wanna get into that discussion then the seasoned ones understand that. You likely get an influx of new attendees who dont fully understand what can happen at the fest or arent prepared if lots of people choose to return their ticket or not try on T day. Its a tough spot anyway cause most people are going to try and not care if its a wash out or not the best anyway because you never know if its your last, so might as well go while you can if you got the ticket. Im pretty content on not going next year and likely would try 2024 or 2025 cause no way am I going 2026 since the World Cup is in my backyard.

Same risk you take every year

Nope but I’d do it pretty sharpish if you need to 

[Zoo Music Girl]

Would the fact that they normally leave a month between announcing the date and ticket day mean there is normally a set time for last-minute registrations? That might make them move it? But I agree that it's probably been booked with See for ever.

[MEGATRONICMEATWAGON]

I think wash outs have been halted due to all the new drainage GF has implemented. Of course, if there's something extreme happening like never before, there could still be a wash out.

Aside from that, I generally don't see the festival losing its status as the premier festival in the UK and therefore the most sought after for tickets.

I do see a slow down in demand in the next couple of years due to inflation/recession, but 300 quid is already a massive bargain for the events/bands on offer. I think most goers get that and that's another part of the appeal over other fests.

[Scrump]

Demand for tickets has to slip at some point. Nothing lasts forever! To my mind the question is will the increase in ticket price and cost of living crisis be the thing that triggers it or are there still many years left before it happens?

There's going to come a point when cost absolutely is a factor to be considered for some. Up until now, I think the majority of people will happily pay the fee, regardless of lineup, weather from the previous year, how busy it might have been, etc. Maybe for the first time, the cost is the major consideration for a greater number of regulars? Will we see a slowdown in immediate demand because of it? Probably not this year, but chuck a wet/muddy one in, some lacklustre headline sets, Bryan Ferry, maybe a repeat of the overcrowding issues, an extra £20 on this year's price and a difficult economic climate and you never know, come October 2023...

If and when Glastonbury struggles, I think it's safe to say that the rest of the industry is in real trouble

I swear 2016 was a washout and not much has changed since then?
