The "I'm going to Glastonbury 2023" thread

[Crazyfool01]

Mine peaked at 153 … slightly less shakey than previous sales …

Will be our 8th time next year! Got through with no problems at all last night. Done by about 6:10. Will be trying for the rest of our group for Sunday.

LETS GOOOOO

You did!! How did you get on? 

We’re in, arriving Thursday. Will be extraordinarily jealous of everyone getting there Wednesday

Got through straight away using 4G on my phone (which I leave on the table as an token gesture) while my laptop couldn't load a thing. Had to type everything out, got my own registration details wrong twice and yet had a confirmation email by 6:10pm. A proper weird one.

Honestly that sounds fucking horrific - i actually dread getting through on the phone! 

[Hotchilidog]

Congratulations to all successful coachees last night. Absolutely delighted for you all.

No joy for me last night, took 9 minutes to get the holding page up! Still, all in with the entirety of my group on Sunday morning. Bring it on!

You’ll be good .. have a check it’s not gone to junk too 

Just thought I’d give you a little update…after a sleepless night I was trawling my email inbox this morning looking for a customer service number for see tickets (knowing in my heart that such a number doesn’t exist because…well, seetickets). Anyway, typed “glaston-“ into my search bar and the first result was my ticket confirmation in my deleted folder!

How I managed to delete it I don’t know, much less how I managed to do so without any memory of it. Also why I didn’t do that mail box search last night is a mystery… glasto nerves I guess. 

Anyway I will definitely for real this time be seeing you lot on the farm!

We're in! 

Can barely look at this forum until tickets are in the bag. We've had to accept a later coach than we would usually go for but I'd hate to have passed on it to then fail in the Sunday sale. Rather be there later than planned than miss out entirely.

Not all of our group is convinced we've made the right decision but I'm thrilled to be going for an 11th time and am all too aware that my luck may soon run out.

Better to have gotten tickets even if it's a later coach than not go at all imo. A few of us decided to go for a different city whereas the rest will be trying general sale. If they don't get in they're definitely gonna be regretting it

I got through 10 minutes after it sold out. Ticket from Newcastle on Thursday

Is going on a Thursday a killer? Feel like I will miss the whole thing haha

You made the right choice for sure! 11 is impressive, same as me (Jessi)! 

I got through to get tickets for my friends last night, I'm waiting til Sunday and hoping for similar success... However I do luckily have the fall back that I will likely get a crew pass through my working partner... I can't bear to rely on that though just in case! So getting a ticket Sunday hopefully, then will release it back to the resales if everything confirmed with my partner's work in the new year.

I personally find that you have more energy on the Sat/Sunday if you go down on the Thursday

[Quark]

Not a sniff of the coach last night, but as always absolutely made up for those that got through 🙂

[MEGATRONICMEATWAGON]

I'm in this thread to purely bask in the reflected glory from everyone else.

Well done!

Hopefully, by Sunday 10am, I'm going to be going to Glastonbury!

We scored Wed tickets, and yet again the same friend got through (big up Microsoft Edge?)! So happy, this will be my 4th 😄

Microsoft Edge was the clincher for me last night too. Not personally had a ticket page for six years via Chrome. Probably means nothing, but I'm taking it as a win for Microsoft and that'll be my browser of choice on Sunday when I try for others

[scatteredscreens]

Chrome incognito tab for me. First 7 minutes I didn't even reach the refreshing holding page, just a site couldn't respond message. Then got to the holding page and kept my cool doing a steady refresh, then was on the reg page.

I've chosen a Thursday coach ticket for the first time this year. Unless you really wanted to see some Wednesday fireworks (which, to be fair, you can catch many similar shows tomorrow!), it's perfectly ok, as Wednesday and Thursday are more like little warm up days.

The only think I worry about is the nicer camping spots going. 

I missed out on tickets last night 😞

Location matters too i'd say - what time is your Newcastle Coach? If its early you won't miss anything but if it was at like 2pm by the time you've setup you will miss a lot more i suppose

Its the best weekend of the year regardless, lets be honest! 🙂

Got two Wednesday coach tix, first time trying and it's our first ever glasto!! Thanks to whoever recommended getting an auto-refresher phone app, that's what did it for me.

Haven't been to a camping festival in 10 years and used to absolutely hate the camping but now I'm an adult and can afford to buy food and comfy tent stuff so fingers crossed it isn't as horrible!

worthy view / sticklinch might be worth looking into - if your buying new equipment just for this then it could work out much cheaper 🙂 enjoy!

[deebeedoobee]

To those with tickets- congratulations, you have the golden ticket. Now it’s your turn to be a hero and help get someone else a ticket on Sunday.

 

for those still without - we’re all behind you, keep the faith.

Edge got it for me too. A pattern emerging?

(Or just using Edge is so uncommon that it bears mentioning, whilst 90% of ticket buyers just used Chrome)

But not as jealous as people without tickets will be of you!
