Glastonbury Oct/Nov ticket day anxiety levels

[Earth_pig]

I always go in we with incredibly low expectations that I'm going to get a ticket so the years I do it's lovely but the years I don't it's just one of them.

I’m away (only in Ireland) for the next ticket sales. Would I need to make payment by debit or credit card? My preferred method is UK debit.

Took a while for the tension to disappear last nite

Relating to the cancelled sale 😂

7 days then … how’s everyone holding up ? 

[rob.a]

Obviously ticket sales will be low. Everyone on here who wants a ticket will get a ticket. They'll be no server drama or dropped payments and we'll all be wondering what the pre sale stress was all about. 

 

I won't be breaking my keyboard from F5ing too much or getting annoyed with my kids because they can't entertain themselves for 45mins and I won't be crying into my coffee at 10am.

 

Positive mental attitude or some bollocks like that.

That’s a rhetorical question!

9.15, we will be in the middle of the carnage, nerves shredded and eyes glued to screens.  Euphoria or gloom beckoning!

You’ll be done at 9.02 with a coffee in hand …

Just want it over with to be honest. So I can look forward to either going or planning another route in. 

Only 5 of us this year and all going for coach so thats a bit easier. Would prefer main sale but take what we can.

Yeah I’m more relaxed with doing both sales .. that gives me 4 chances overall . Although I’m firmly sticking with my town as departure point otherwise logistically things become much harder .

In all honesty for the first time in a longggg time…. I’m not really too bothered.  Been lucky to get tickets for all the years I have and seen some amazing acts over the years.  I’ll be trying as always and if I get through will of course go and love every second but if not maybe it is time for a change.  I guess it Helps that I’d quite like to see The Prodigy and Green Day so could head over the water to IOW.

[lendan]

The anxiety and nerves are kicking in now.
1st time for us this year after years of trying, before we went we said  “do as much as possible as this will probably be the only time” 

However

During the Wednesday that changed to “we HAVE to come back every year” 

We have a group of 5 so hopefully 1 of us will get lucky

I am very tempted to go to IOW as the line up for me is brilliant

Not much to do after the headliners though by all accounts, which is why we kept going back to Bestival.

24hrs then for some of us ....

The nerves have gone away! I was super nervous before sale 2 weeks ago that got delayed. But now it’s not really registering. Perhaps my subconscious is still a bit dark about the postponement..

[Pinhead]

I'm resigned to working it. Not a bad thing tbh - down on Monday and there till Monday. Need to top up the priority anyways. Getting old now mind - 51 tomorrow!

[Penrhos]

I must have checked my registration is still valid 20 times, rechecked the google sheet with our groups numbers & postcodes in and checked my payment card is good for 6 x deposits etc...

Swapped shifts for tomorrow so I'll be home for 17:00 and cleared the diary for Saturday night and Sunday morning....

Having missed out this year due to the payments page crashing - I'm proper bricking it in case the same happens on T-Day...

 

Having sleep Apnea and a bad back probably rules out working the festival for a ticket...

As I've often said, it's the best way

Happy Birthday 🙂

Same here although I have free tickets to IOW which I am looking forwaed to and have Green Day at Wembley just in case. I'm feeling less bothered about Glasto now as we are seeing Madonna at o2 in December and have seen Coldplay multiple times. Dont really care for Dua Lipa so I can take or leave Glasto tbh.

Because Glastonbury is only about the headliners!

It’s not but it does give Glastonbury its value for money … if you were to see all the headliners in stadiums alone that would be approaching the cost of the ticket . If you don’t see the headliners you will might not find that value for money and can see many of the acts for cheaper elsewhere . There’s obviously a bit more to it than but is something people can reasonably make a decision based on
