ticket tips and tricks Glastonbury 2024 resales

[JoeyT]

No mention of a 100% refund given no one knows the actual price of a ticket is a bit shitty in my opinion.

[Avalon_Fields]

I’m surprised the full price isn’t confirmed, I think they should at least explain why that isn’t the case. If it’s for reasonably legitimate reasons such as not knowing where we will be with inflation and costs they should be upfront and tell us. I hope it isn’t so they can be flexible depending on demand, upping the price if the demand is high?

No price confirmed, and sale date a month later than usual....anyone have a suspicion as to why?

It says the price will come "in due course". I assume that means before November 3rd.

Gap from announcement until coach sale:

2020 - 16 days

2019 - 17

2017 - 24

2016 - 13 

2015 - 14

2014 - 17

We're now 15 days away from most probable coach sale date.

2022 - 41 days 😳 

2020 - 16

2019 - 17

2017 - 24

2016 - 13 

2015 - 14

2014 - 17

Just seems weird they'd post the dates to fit the usual pattern for a 15 day lag then announce it's a month later. Maybe they got sick how long this thread was and did it to shut us up ... In which case it hasn't worked 🤔

Your last point is super-yikes territory.

There was a fiscal event today where potential VAT changes were being discussed, that could have affected the ticket price. I suspect that’s why no price can be listed

Won't disagree there!

[scatteredscreens]

Don't know why they didn't just come out with a line that said

"Pricing to be confirmed before the listed sale dates."

Pound plummeting so global artists could be more expensive.

[Matt42]

Is there a reason why it’s shifted to November? I’ve not really been following.

[Supernintendo Chalmers]

Knowing how volatile various material and labour costs are in the industries I work in are right now (with predictions of further increases, particularly in October around energy), maybe they're waiting until the last practical moment to figure out how much they'll need to charge in order to maintain the necessary margins? 

[dotdash79]

Not sure why everyone is losing there shit about the prices, almost every event announce the ticket sale date but never say the price of the ticket before hand. 
 

they will update the price when they know, which will be before the sale date. 
 

at least you know how much you need to get a bite of the cherry in November.

I thought it was bad when I was in NYC last month and a pint of Heineken cost me $16.50 in some places and it worked out at about £13, that's going to be £16.50 before soon...

I think because of the lack of pricing info it's around finalising the pricing of the ticket.

[JoeyT]

Can't believe the sale date has moved. 

Of all the things which didn't have a pattern the sale date was the one thing that did.

Is nothing sacred anymore 😂

No mention of a refund is interesting unless I’ve missed it

It would be a sensible plan to do this. They should say why though, I think most people would accept it as a legit reason

NB: Refund Protection is only available when making a balance payment or full ticket booking.

Refund Protection provides cover for a range of specified unforeseen circumstances that may prevent you being able to attend the Festival. Alternatively, you may wish to check whether your ticket is covered elsewhere.

The rising interest rates will have a serious impact on the loans that the fest need to take out.

Rising energy costs will obviously have an impact.

Plummeting pound will have an impact.

It all depends what the govt does to mitigate this, but a very uncertain time to plan an event.

Of course, if the price comes out after ticket day, there'll be even more uproar!
