Glastonbury Oct/Nov ticket day anxiety levels

[Spindles]

Just got an email saying registrations must be confirmed by 30th September and any new registrations by 2nd October.  I'm guessing first week in November for the sale dates.

So new regs have to be done by 2nd Oct?

If so and it takes them 48 hours to process them that means early Oct sales is back in the hunt.

 

or not.

 

or it will be mid October

If they're closing registrations 2nd October, that would seem to be an unusually long gap until any November dates. Have to assume that if that date holds, then it's a sale in October.

Please don’t give me that kind of hope when I’d assumed oct was out 😀

Anxiety levels through the roof now.

Haven't missed one since '04 and really, really want that twenty years badge.

Think I may be offering a reward/bribe again to anyone who gets me in...

[Helsbels]

I wasn't anxious until I realised that I'm away in the Lake District that weekend. Hopefully will be relaxing having secured coach tickets on the Thursday

Do you think that they will go with the way they did the resale with no payment page?

If this is the case the tickets will be gone in minutes.

The resale would have been used as a trial. Reckon it was successful in that the tickets went quickly. Whether they will have taken on board that it could be open to abuse with folk using social media, colleagues at work etc to get help securing tickets we don’t know.  Certainly the anecdotal stories about folk offering cash for help isn’t a good look for the festival.

Also, it could cause unnecessary extra admin due to people not paying the deposit money within the alloted time so what do they do with those tickets, save them for the resale next year?

Yes, probably just back into the pot for the resale. Just as long as they don’t add them to even more hospitality!

Won’t be many if any … payment was within 24 hours wasn’t it ? So pretty much no one will change mind ?

Anxiety is at manageable levels at the moment... 

However we are going go try for coach tickets first this year and I have a couple of questions if people can help?

1. How many can we book for? I swear it uses to be 4 but some saying it's 6? 

2. Do you get any choice of times for the coach or is it just pot luck what they give you?

1. Its 4

2. You just get the option of a day and location, not a time. 

Edit- not a time for 99% of locations. I do remember there being times from London but not sure if thats the case now.

With its flaws I’m still more comfortable paying the deposit when putting in registrations and post codes. In my opinion it’s fairer to everyone.

1- It's 6 in the first sales

2- Times only for Bristol and London. But you choose the day.

(the above was last year of course, could always change)

Anecdotal evidence of earlier bookings getting earlier coaches and earlier returns unless you get single tickets which will be fixed times from that location

That's a good point actually wonder if it's accurate.

I don't suppose anyone knows the times from last year for various places? 

I.e. times for Taunton, Bath etc 

Must be a sheet knocking around with times on from previous years?

Is there a chance you can end up with a Thursday coach even if you select Wednesday? 

And are the return coaches as early as the departure? I'm still trying to find the most complete list haha

no chance at all  .... the returns can be very early I saw 4 am listed in that thread but not sure what applies to the 2 places you mentioned earlier
