Is It Time To Ditch See Tickets?

[JoeSchmo]

What with last year's payments fiasco, people still managing to get tickets after they've announced they've sold out, and now this!

This is bad.

Not without a suitable replacement.

What and use ticketmaster? At least you have some control over your chances.

Why would this be related to See? Sounds like a GFL management decision.

Over the counter at HMV

The annual 'ditch seetickets' thread 🙂 usualy its after the sale though

As much as this is frustrating, no. Ticketmaster would be a disaster.

This is just an operational f**k up. Likely down to poor decision making at both Glasto HQ and See.

I'm already queuing outside Our Price

The database is managed by See, not GFL.

Theres been people on here and twitter who had confirmation email that their registration had been updated but the seetickets lookup is now returning no results.

Lots of people on reddit have mentioned they'd checked registrations just a few days ago and everything was fine, then come last weekend their registration was no longer found.  It feels like a pretty widespread issue and I think it's bloody good of the festival to do this, really.

Ticketmaster trend as being sh*t every time there is even a vaguely big show on sale, and AXS seem to think everyone is a bot whenever they have tickets for sale, so I think i'd stick with Seetickets personally 😁

True, but you just know they would get the gig

[Crazyfool01]

don't think there's anyone big enough is there ? apart from TM 

[fraybentos1]

Who says see have done anything wrong? Seems like a glasto issue to me 

[Avalon_Fields]

I was going to say there’s other options such as https://www.gigsandtours.com/ but I’ve just looked and they’re managed by See!

It’s already as good as a lottery. A bit of competency shouldn’t be too much to ask for although it’s not like TM have a splendid recent history in that regard either.

Have everyone queue up in person at Worthy Farm, job done. 

[parsonjack]

Stick with See....they might be a sh*tshow but at least we're reasonably clued up as to how the system works and how to game it..  even if only a tiny bit.

[Nathan Explosion]

Yeah I'd be very averse to anything that might result in ticketmaster taking over. Imagine surge priced glasto tickets...
