Franky Posted August 31 Report Share Posted August 31 So after the total shambles of Oasis tickets this morning and the fact I’ve never managed to buy tickets for Glastonbury other than over the counter at HMV, how does the mass ticket buying grouping thing work that I see running on here each year? I’ve never really looked into it but I’m resigned to the fact I’m never going to be able to buy a ticket through see tickets and need the help of other lucky people who seem to get tickets every year.

A Particular Grey Chihuahu Posted August 31 Report Share Posted August 31 I'm not sure about here, but there are some very organised ongoings at a different Glastonbury community that is based on a different platform (I'm new to both here and there, and I'm vaguely aware of tensions between the two groups, so i won't name it). That's where I'm throwing my lot this time anyway - because this year was just blind luck in the resale! I don't want to rely on that again.

Been here for almost 20 years. I was pretty sure there was still ticket grouping going on in the main sale ? Maybe I’m wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First of all you need a couple of people or 1 who are good with organisation and spreadsheets and I’d try and get the groups together as quickly as you are able because payments are easier the more of a tight unit you have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m fully up for this because I’m sick of staring at holding pages for the last 15 years or however long it’s been since this f**king debacle of a ticketing system was introduced..

Franky Posted August 31 Author Report Share Posted August 31 Yep exactly this. Well I’m pretty organised and plan the sh*t out of anything well in advance. But I can’t use a spreadsheet for sh*t 😀😀 I’m more than happy to use this thread for ‘applications’ 🤷♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prestonmanc Posted August 31 Report Share Posted August 31 I organise a group like this. We'll be looking to expand it this year to add a bit more collective buying power. Nothing sorted for 2025 just yet (as I don't expect people will be organised until we get a bit nearer to T day), but if anyone here wants to be notified once we get things into gear in the coming weeks, DM me with your details and I'll send you the group info in the coming weeks. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trust You need to all have trust - sometimes in total strangers with odd internet forum users names. But it can and does work - i have run and been part of such a grouping for many years.

Would have no idea what I’m doing though. Haven’t bought a ticket myself since 1985, over the counter at HMV. I did once manage to get two tickets for mates online, but that was at least 20 years ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did once manage to get two tickets for mates online, but that was at least 20 years ago in simple terms it means logging onto see tickets website , refreshing page until the booking page comes up , entering registration details of the people you are buying for , confirming and then paying with the website crashing and failing around you . ~There is a step by step guide on the Glastonbury website of the pages to expect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franky Posted August 31 Author Report Share Posted August 31 Hey look if other people already have the organisation going and groups set to go then I am more than happy to help/join those. Seems silly to have yet another group going when in theory the bigger the group you have the better chance you should have. Anyone a;ready running such a group and wouldn't mind my group joining then please PM me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack.194 Posted August 31 Report Share Posted August 31 Also happy to help, I set up a little group for the 2023 resale, which was fairly unsuccessful, but we managed to secure 144/144 tickets for the 2024 general sale so it’s definitely worth it. Does take a lot of organisation though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
