Its happened to me loads. Happened to me twice this year and once during the resale for last year. This is a fantastic change. If they use this for next year I imagine tickets selling out in 15 minutes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikkic Posted April 12, 2023 Report Share Posted April 12, 2023 Yeah that is a huge improvement. I got kicked out at payment stage 4 times this year, but thankfully managed to bag tickets in extra time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamafa Posted April 12, 2023 Report Share Posted April 12, 2023 What do you think will happen to the tickets that haven’t been paid for within 24 hours? Put back on sale at random? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nal Posted April 12, 2023 Report Share Posted April 12, 2023 (edited) But now you will have to wait anxiously for hours for the payment link to (hopefully) come through. 9 minutes ago, jamafa said: What do you think will happen to the tickets that haven’t been paid for within 24 hours?

LR10416 Posted April 12, 2023 Report Share Posted April 12, 2023 WHAT IS THE TICKET RESALE? Following the ticket balance payment window, we will be selling a very limited of number tickets for which the balance was not settled. These will consist of General Admission tickets and Ticket + Coach travel options. Does this mean there will be another mini resale after the 24hr balance window closes or am I interpreting it wrong? Could be interesting... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern_Lights Posted April 12, 2023 Report Share Posted April 12, 2023 Groups of four, not six it seems "In the General Admission resale on Sunday 23rd April, you may purchase up to 4 tickets per transaction – but remember that you can only book one ticket per registration. If you plan to book for a group, you will need all their registration numbers and registered postcodes, too – get them ready now." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its happened to me loads. It's always happened in recent years, I think the change though this time is because seetickets f**ked it up big time in the general sale. We got our tickets about 10 days after the normal sale because of Seetickets not being up to date in Visa security. So Glasto probably can't risk giving out extra tickets this year if the same thing happens again. I hope they carry on with this way though, once you're through to payment page you shouldn't be getting kicked out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be the sensible approach but it's not made clear whether only the lead booker gets the email prompting payment for the whole order, or whether each ticket holder gets their own email.

They might bring back secret resales for tickets that aren't paid for after 24 hours (or are cancelled by 5 May), but I don't think that's what this is referencing.

If they're not sure after a coach sale and a main sale in October and a coach resale and a main resale in April having secured a ticket 60 days before the festival they can get in the bin. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stating the obvious here, but precedent suggests that whichever intern is monitoring their social media won't actually know and so any answer you get back can't be trusted to be correct. Plenty examples of them assuming something and it being wrong in reality, most recently in the Campervan sale when their social media assured people it wasn't possible to buy more than one ticket.
