Camper Van Ticket Swap: Bath & West -> East Campervan

[tedmaul]

Have you got an East Campervan field ticket, but all of your mates got Bath and West Showground tickets?

Are you worried that you'll be lonely?  Concerned that you'll be missing out on all the fun and bantz?  Terrified that your friends will be having the time of their lives sat around the gazebo in Bath and West whilst you're sat gazing into your Pot Noodle?  Anxious about missing out on the shuttlebus shenanigans?

Well I have the perfect solution for you!  A SWAP!  I have just the ticket you're looking for - a Bath and West Showground campervan ticket, and I am willing to swap it for your East Campervan ticket!  

Get in touch and we can sort it out.  Not sure whether there is a price difference but I'm not interested in making money - it's just the East Campervan ticket I need 🙂

Thanks in advance!!!

You'll have a better chance of picking a CV East ticket up in any resale that takes place than swapping for a B&W but good luck to you.

Not sure about that!  The odds of getting a CV East ticket in the resale seem pretty slender to me!

Nah honestly he’s right if you are organised you’ll get them . We got loads in resale before

You're a bit late for the April Fools jokes 😃 

Seriously though, good luck with that, I wouldn't want to be swapping my East (Quiet) Campervan ticket.....

I will defo be trying, but can't hurt to have a few irons in the fire.  You never know, there might be someone out there with a CV East ticket whose mates are all in B&W 🤷‍♂️

No one will swap that way round I’m afraid. But… you have a good chance in resale if you keep checking! I got one for friends last year very late.

Just checked and it was on 16th May 😀

Sorry to say I think the vast majority of people would just agree to meet their mates in the festival after they’ve finished faffing about getting the shuttle bus in!

I wouldn't be so sure.  If I was the only one in my group to get CV East and all my mates were in B&W I would swap.  It's unlikely that anyone is in this position, but not impossible.

Thanks Stuie.  You may be right but nothing ventured nothing gained, and there's no harm in putting the question out there 👌

Literally nobody is going to swap an East CV for a B&W but they do pop up again for sale every so often between the resale date and the festival, just got to keep an eye on the web page or get a page checker set up.

I have got one in the re sale at least twice.  Get in straight away and reckon you'll score one.

Yep, I've got a page checker on the go too, cheers!

I think I've got one in the resale too in the past.  A swap would defo be preferable though!

@tedmaullove the positivity mate!

Getting CV tickets in the resale is honestly usually pretty easy and you'll be able to get a refund on your B & W one up until early May.

See Tickets are a bit sh*t at the CV sale so usually people end up with multiples. Think the most we've had was one year one of our group got 6 tickets even though they say you are only meant to be able to buy one for a registration so there's always a lot of resale tickets. The same tends to happen in the resale so even if they sell out you'll often find in the week or 2 after resale that the duplicates get put back on sale.

It is impossible, simply as if anyone wanted b&w they were available for much longer. 

As everyone says, get what you want in the resale (as ever with helpers if necessary) and return what you don't want.

Not impossible if there's a group of people all intending to camp together in CV East and only one of them actually manages to get a CV East ticket.  They might not want to stump-up for an additional B&W ticket to camp with their friends but might be happy to do a swap.

That's great news about the B&W refund.  For some reason I thought it was non-refundable.  Fingers crossed I'll get a CV East ticket in the resale and get the money back for the B&W!  Thanks!

Listen, not trying to oppress you, but you notice how you're the only person who thinks it's possible and all us folks who spend a lot of the year on here say it isn't?  😉

You're entitled to your opinion and I'm entitled to mine.  My opinion is that it is possible, and I haven't seen a convincing argument that it isn't. 

You don't need to worry about it though - it doesn't affect you in the slightest. 😉

Just focus your efforts on the resale and you'll be fine, but you will need to be fairly swift 🙂

@clarkete Is correct, I have never witnessed anyone wanting a B&W campervan pass instead of an East campervan pass! It's similar to deciding between a VHS or Betamax video player, nobody ever said back in the day they wish they had chosen Betamax! 

You can still purchase B&W passes, this was taken minutes ago. 🙂
