Glastonbury 2024 - Main sale success poll

[hodgey123]

3 out of 5 groups got through, including mine. I personally saw nothing but blue for an hour on both sales. So annoying!

But a solo person could have a dozen people (who don`t want to go) trying for them, unless of cause the are a billy no mates 🙂 

Once someone gets through to the booking page they can snap up 6 tickets at once, which still means the odds are skewed in the favour of groups - regardless of how many people they have trying to get through for them.

2 groups out of 8, were successful. The same girl in one group got through twice and got tickets. Welsh WiFi success.

My group wasn't successful. Absolutely f**king gutted. Will be back on here near resale I suppose. Well done to those who got tickets x

Again, you’re looking at things from YOUR perspective. Not everyone has the opportunity to rope other people in to help. 

As things stand this is not a fair system. It’s about time the festival took that into a consideration.

Just make it a f**king ballot already and then it’s down to pot luck.

Well my perspective is that I work it and I work hard to get priority status to ensure I can be there every year. I was helping friends this morning and I think they represent the average ticket buyers  - a group of friends who want to go together. 

Setting a max 2 ticket rule would make it hard for people to choose between people to take - someone having to choose which of their brothers to take / someone who wants to go with partner and best mate, for example. I’d say you are the one who’s looking at it from your perspective. 

If you want to go so bad as a single person, come and join the team:

29/51 we had a few that got kicked out at payment page that would have bumped that up a bit. We've benefitted last year from peoples similar misfortune when we got them after the sold out sign was up.

Disappointed but philosophical.

4 ticket limit would be spot on I think.

I’m coming from the perspective that the festival is great as it is, and that the crowd that attends helps with it being great.

That the ticket process helps groups of 6 working together I think helps make the crowd better than if it was a ballot or smaller groups. 

If it didn’t work out for us a few of us would have volunteered, which does work well for smaller groups and individuals.

More internet raging! 
Not even going to give it the benefit of a click thru.

12 out of 18 (2/3 groups).  It’s luck and perseverance and being a bit organised. Only 2 people got to booking page. 1 failed because of reg/post code issues (our fault) and 1 successfully twice……

[glimmers_of_hope]

1 group out of 2 groups trying.

6/12

50% success rate.

gutted for the group that didn't get them.

got through on a 9 year old ipad on (not great) Wifi just chugging away on the 20 second refresh whilst I was hammering the refresh on 3 other devices.

[sedra]

Nothing for our group of 6 although another group were successful and almost got ours - details were in and submit then sold out notice 😕😫

[Ricci's Special Kebabs]

3 out of 5 groups here

Me and the wife got through to the reg page 4 times on 2 phones. 3 failures and then finally a success with minutes to spare 

[Jarski75]

2 out of 5 groups were successful out of my lot.  This is the same two groups that had the success last year.

One person in one of the other groups got through to reg details page but then got kicked out

Most including me never got past the holding page.

I've had years on the trot where we've been the lucky ones but that luck seems to have run out.

I don't understand complaining about this.

It's one thing if you get through and then get kicked out for a glitch or something, but you're just queueing, for some of the hardest to get tickets on earth, what do people expect?

[Gnomicide]

24/28 with a further 6 bought in the coach sale on Thursday. 

Gutted for the remaining 4. Weirdly, 18 of the tickets were bought by people who aren't going this time.

[Jack The Stripper]

I had the classic get to the stage where you shakingly enter all the reg numbers only to hit submit and be sent back to the holding page 😭

[Ortiz34]

11/11 2 groups. Nothing for 40 mins and then both groups got through within a couple of minutes. 9/11 did not get past the holding page. Lucky and happy.

[Acid Loafers]

11/17

I had the page for the last group but after entering all details went back to holding page

Too much panic to figure out what link or try to go back

[storm]

Why 4? Why not 3 or 5 or any arbitrary number?

4 in a car, 2 pairs. I dunno.

Or, you know, 5 in a slightly bigger car, or parents with three kids, or... Just arbitrary numbers.

[fullfathom5]

1 per person - ha ha ha!

[Franky]

Hell yeah baby, see you at The KLF
