Report

Just home from Manchester. Only cried 4 times which I consider a win. Wonderful show although like @Johndenis I preferred the 2017 set list.  Jubilee Street gets better every time.  Warren was on top form.  Finally got myself a Bad Seed tee.    What do I have to do to see Ship Song live?   

I guess it will be something like Brunch Electronik?

I think the idea of an extra day for electronics is interesting (June 15)

This is a fascinating response from them at the real peak of my Glasto days (36 of us got tickets for 2014 via one of the backdoor hacks). Having not managed to get tickets and working the last 3 (necessity rather than choice), I'm really clueless as to where this leaves us.    Slightly concerned @Suprefan is totally right and I no longer have any chance (compared to very little chance before). 

I said this earlier - but ultimately the festival won't be setting the direction on these aspects. They're not in a position to do so. Seetickets are implementing a queue system across all of their sites, and this is ultimately a Seetickets site.   Given that the Festival don't (and realistically can't) run their own ticket platform, the technology they use and the mechanisms within it are going to follow whatever their provider provides for them.   Yes, if they felt strongly enough about the specifics of how the site operated, they could try and push the issue or look at other providers - but that's a whole can of worms. It's questionable how much See will want to diverge from what is now becoming their standard setup, and every other ticket agent capable of handling that kind of traffic already uses queue based systems.
